Chapter 2329: God of Gambling (1)
Since this was a world that was based on a game from my past life, the gambling games that were in this world were similar.
The table that I sat down at was for one of the staples of any casino.
"Damn it, I missed my turn."
"What kind of river is this?"
"You’re really bluffing with a seven deuce off suit?"
These were all terms that I had heard in my past life, but it wasn’t as if I was some kind of expert when it came to this.
The only thing that I was an expert in was...
"So he’s switching the cards."
It was only to be expected when it came to this kind of gambling den.
Even if it was just the general area, it didn’t seem like they wanted the gamblers to have complete control. Which was why they used these kinds of cheap tricks to manipulate them.
Though in this case, it wasn’t as if they were manipulating them to give them bad cards.
In fact, they were manipulating the cards to give the ones that were new at the table better cards just to hook them.
The more that they won in the beginning, the more confident they would be. The more confident they were, the more that they would lose later on when the odds were against them.
Simply put, everything was designed to drag them in and make them lose more money than they earned.
But still, it wasn’t as if this was enough to actually stump me.
After sitting down at the table, I naturally won a few hands since it was their way of dragging me in. However, I could tell that they were targeting me once I had won a certain amount.
"Fold."
"Tch."
This dealer was even clicking his tongue under his breath when he saw that I wasn’t eating his bait every time. The cards that I was dealt all seemed like they would be good at the flop, but then when the turn and the river came...
Only whenever I folded, I made sure to toss the cards out so that everyone could see what was dealt to me.
It wasn’t as if such a thing happening once or twice would have caught any attention, but it was different when it happened more than five times in a row.
After a certain point, people started taking note of this even if they didn’t actually do anything about it. They were just waiting to see what would happen since they knew that I was doing this on purpose.
In the end, the dealer had no choice but to change the way that he was doing this.
He had to at least pretend that things were fair or else there might be some problems.
Only the moment that he changed the cards...
"All in."
An ugly look appeared on the face of the dealer for a second before quickly disappearing.
As a dealer that had been trained by this place, it was only natural that he would be able to control his facial expressions like it was nothing. However, that moment that he showed his true face was because he really couldn’t control it.
Even at this moment, it was clear that he was panicking from all the small signs that came from his body. If he were to actually change the cards again, there was no doubt that someone would notice.
This kind of thing could only be done so many times during the course of a round and it wasn’t as if he had the chance to do anything to the cards this late into the round.
So the only thing that the dealer could do was deal the final two cards that gave me the victory.
Since there were two others that had gone with me until the end, I ended up managing to triple my funds in an instant.
"Here’s a tip for you." I said before tossing a coin over to the dealer.
At that moment, it really seemed like the dealer wanted nothing more than to rip me to shreds. Only it wasn’t as if he could do anything to me with everyone watching like this.
The only thing that he could do was try to make up for his mistakes and try to get that money back.
However, it didn’t matter what kind of tricks the dealer used since I never fell for them even once. The more that he tried them, the more that he was actually digging the hole for himself.
After all, I managed to skillfully avoid all of the traps that he set for me and only bit when he changed the cards to favour me. It didn’t matter how many rounds it took for these cards to come out, I predicted them accurately.
In the end, there were even a few people that came to watch from behind me.
It was clear that they were people from the casino that had been sent out to watch to make sure that I wasn’t cheating. The way that the dealer was looking at me showed that he was certain that I knew that he was changing the cards.
However, it wasn’t as if I could see what was on the face of the cards even if I knew that he was changing them.
Or that was what they thought.
In reality, I knew everything that they were doing and it was easy for me to dodge everything that they threw at me. It didn’t matter how they observed me, they would never be able to figure out the method that I was using.
This was a method that no one would be able to recognize unless they had the awareness of a god.
With just a bit of divine energy, I was able to scan all of the cards as they were being shuffled and dealt. This little bit of divine energy allowed me to see the entire deck as it was being used.
Though I didn’t feel bad about this since it wasn’t as if they were good people to begin with.
