Chapter 526 - Gambling Rules
Hongni didn't think much that the last sentence was ridiculing him for his lack of self-discipline, smacking a few comments from the dust, and suddenly felt that the people behind him were indeed suspicious.
If you are not a gambler, how can you not be curious when you first enter the casino? That is, you can consciously restrain your words and deeds, so that you will not be able to control the expressions and eyes on your face without leaking.
If you are a gambler...... Now that he has been reduced to a slave market, he must have lost his family and lost his life alone. Revisiting the sad place at this moment, how can there be no clues?
Just like the two who led the way before, they basically acquiesced to their identity as gamblers, and as soon as they saw the gambling game, they almost begged for the end without skin and face. But then you may have thought of your own situation, so you refrain from mentioning it - this is the normal reaction.
The red mud suddenly thought about it, thought of a deeper layer, and couldn't help but look at the dust in surprise.
This guy still has something to say, that's the point, right?!
Continue to whisper: "Do you suspect that these people are deliberately placed in the crowd at the end of the store? Moreover, we came to the casino, in fact, it was not our own choice, but fell into the calculation of others?"
Someone began to move around on the stage, and Luochen pursed his lips and did not reply.
There is no suspicion, once you find that something is wrong, look back and think about it, that "furnace" transaction may not be accidental at all. As for what purpose the other party coaxed himself...... Let's see.
Anyway, so far, the few behind them have not taken the initiative to intervene in their actions, and the calculation points may not fall on the casino.
The figures on the stage shuttled, and soon there was a long case, and a tightly covered tray was placed.
There was a buzz in the hall, apparently talking about the stage.
Red Clay was also attracted to the gaze and temporarily put aside the secret conversation.
After the arrangement stopped, a group of idle people embroidered with the word "Zhuang" on their chests retreated, and a slightly better dressed person and more dignified demeanor came up. Looks like a master.
The man stepped up to the stage, cleared his throat and signaled for everyone to be quiet, and then opened his lips and began his confession: "Thank you for your patronage, there is a new guest in this hall today." In order to better explain the rules of the game in this hall to new customers, and to thank all the old customers for their feedback, it is now decided that the casino will come forward to sit in the bank and warm up the ......"
There was another buzz around.
Luochen and Red Clay don't know if everyone is talking about this gamble to warm up the game, or talking about their group of "new customers", or talking about the new customers who have just arrived and received such favor.
The voice on the stage was raised a little higher, and it continued, "The rules of this game are generally the same as usual, you old guests think they are already familiar with it, and I hope that the new guests will pay attention to one or two ......"
As he spoke, the man pointed to the case and introduced the specific rules of the game.
A total of six square trays were set up on the case, and an item and its reserve price tag were placed in each plate, which were sealed in a secret way, and later began to be auctioned as the subject matter in turn.
Gamblers are not allowed to snoop on or otherwise cheat by spells, and can only decide whether to participate in gambling based on their feelings and moods.
Of course, judging from the various prohibitions and precautions of the casino, even if you have the intention to snoop, you are afraid and powerless.
If you decide to participate in the gambling treasure, you can ask the waiter for a bidding form to fill in the price you decide, in duplicate, one copy is kept in your own hands, and one copy is taken away by the waiter, which will be used as the basis for bidding and the proof of winning or losing later.
At this time, all bids are not public, and after all bids are over, the casino waiter will check and compare, select the one closest to the reserve price as the bidder, and then sing the price one by one.
At this time, in addition to the winning bidder, the rest of the winners and losers have been decided, and they all need to pay the corresponding gambling funds of the casino according to their own bids.
The fact that others lose money does not mean that the bidder can easily take away the items on the stage. Because, this so-called bid closest to the casino's mark may be higher than the reserve price, and of course it may be lower than the reserve price.
If it is higher than the reserve price, congratulations, take it away, and the money will not be charged. Not only can you take it for nothing, but you can also share part of the gambling money just paid by everyone from the casino in proportion.
If it is lower than the reserve price, not only can you not take the things away, but you also have to pay the corresponding gambling funds of the casino according to your own bid.
Under these rules, the price is not insured because the item is unknown, the reserve price is really unpredictable, and there are other gamblers to compare the price. However, once you win the bid, it means that you can make a lot of money for nothing...... At present, there will be brave men, and gamblers are especially good at relying on this to encourage themselves.
As for the risk of winning or losing after winning the bid, because the words "high and low" are misleading, gamblers often have the illusion that once they win, they will take more, and if they lose, they will lose less...... It has to be said that the casino is well versed in the psychology of gamblers.
Not only are casinos not afraid that no one will participate in gambling, but they are also not afraid to talk about cheating.
The things are placed on the stage, the reserve price has long been sealed, and the whole gambling process is carried out in public, and basically no one can move their hands and feet. Once the bidder is selected, they will sing the price one by one, and each person will win or lose, and they all have each other's numbers.
If someone doubts casino cheating, please show evidence before speaking. In fact, under normal circumstances, this kind of gambling is basically a sure deal, and the casino does not bother to cheat at all.
If a gambler cheats, once it is found out, hehe, not to mention that the casino has already prepared a number of punishment measures and waited, but I am afraid that other gamblers will not let it go first.
The above is the rules of blind betting, and there is another slightly different way of playing, which is called half betting.
If there is no bidder within a certain period of time, the casino will announce the blind gambling failure of the object and begin to enter the half-gambling process.
There is a secret seal of the casino on the treasure, and all those who enter the half-gambling process can be funded by the gambler to shout "to seal", so as to justifiably peek at the treasure, and then decide whether to bid or not.
The first person who shouted "go to the seal" will tear off a layer of 500 chips of silver, and then count 200 more than the previous round of investment, and so on.
In the process of going to the seal, regardless of whether the bid is or not, the person who shouts "go" must pay the "de-sealing fee" in cash, which is another expense that is different from the gambling bidding. If there is a bidding, the rules basically refer to blind betting.
Half gambling, because you can get a glimpse of the face of the subject matter, at first glance it seems to be safer than blind gambling, but in fact, there are more traps.
First, in addition to the bidding and bidding, the casino was given a sum or even several "de-sealed" gambling funds.
Second, those who go to the seal may not necessarily have the courage to participate in the bidding, and the bidder may not have the funds to go to the seal themselves.
This intentional or unintentional injustice, to a certain extent, will arouse the hostility between gamblers, coupled with the desire to win the bid, it is inevitable that they will not deliberately dig holes with each other.
In this way, half gambling is actually more profitable than blind gambling for the casino.
Of course, the person on the stage just announced the rules directly, and did not announce the various pros and cons hidden under the rules.
After saying the fine rules, he reiterated the iron law of no voyeurism and cheating as a warning, and then the man moved to the first tray and started the first round of betting.
