Chapter 13: The Decisive Battle of Blackjack
In the United States, except for a very few states that allow casinos, many states and counties do not allow casinos, and there are no public casinos in New York.
But underground casinos are naturally unrevelable, and there are many kinds of them, including regular types of gambling, as well as underground boxing matches, basketball ball, football, and many more, but the most people play conventional games.
There are casinos in Sun City, which is very close to New York, and Connecticut, which is very close to Boston, and Las Vegas, which is close to Los Angeles.
And the underground casinos in New York are purely tools for the underworld to collect money, large and small, but like these places, generally speaking, as long as you are not out of the thousand, or even if you are out of the thousand, as long as you don't catch the flaws in the case of winning money, the casino will let you go, the underworld also has the rules of the underworld, if the rules are broken, it is cut off the way to money.
Richmond is a borough of New York that is predominantly populated by whites and blacks, with fewer outsiders, unlike Manhattan and Brooklyn, which are a mix of people. However, Richmond is one of the least populated districts, such as Manhattan, although the area is the smallest of several districts, only 59.2 square kilometers, but the population is second only to Brooklyn, because this small island narrow from east to west and long from north to south is the center of New York, where large banks, large insurance companies, large industrial companies, large transportation companies, and the world-famous New York Stock Exchange are gathered. More than one-third of the 500 largest U.S. companies are headquartered in Manhattan.
Wall Street, located in the southern part of Manhattan Island, is the symbol of New York, and the fame of Wall Street is self-evident.
The casino that Mr. Lee had brought to didn't look like a casino at all, in a street in Richmond's black neighborhood, with a not-so-wide iron gate at the door, a tall black man with disgusting-looking tattoos on his neck and bare arms.
This black man obviously knew Li Junjie, nodded and said something, and was also very respectful to Li Junjie, which is rare, Zhou Xuan knew that the status of Chinese in the minds of Americans was not high.
Li Junjie's three subordinates were left in the car, the black man opened the iron door, Li Junjie waved at the people behind him and shouted: "Dog, dog! ”
There is a long dark corridor inside, and then into a large hall, it is lively, there is a mixture of men and women, the most black and white, and the least is Zhou Xuan, a yellow-skinned person like them.
The Wolf brothers, Elena, and Yuriko Ito's brothers and sisters all received an advance payment of $500,000, but Zhou Xuan didn't take it, but after arriving at the villa in Queens District, Fu Ying left him $10,000 for daily living expenses.
The hall was at least three hundred square meters, with forty or fifty tables, and a staircase leading to the second floor, which seemed to be also a gambling hall.
On these tables, Zhou Xuan paid attention as soon as he came in, most of them were playing blackjack and roulette, baccarat and Texas Hold'em, of course, Zhou Xuan didn't understand how to play Texas Hold'em, but he had seen it on Neptune.
Roulette is also the first bet and then turn, not Zhou Xuan needs to play, baccarat is the first bet, and then distribute the player's poker, and then compare the points, this way of playing, Zhou Xuan can peek through the ice gas to see the bottom of the poker in the box, but which side is not called or which side is not called, which is not up to him, so this kind of play is also uncertain.
Finally, Zhou Xuan stood on the blackjack side and watched for a long time, this is also the first bet, and then the dealer sent cards, look at the cards sent out and then decide whether to bid, if you know what the next card in the box will be, then the winning side is already very large, because the same can also estimate what the next card of the dealer is, will it be violent, if both sides will bid again, then whether to estimate the end of the card is particularly important.
Blackjack, there have been many people who have worked hard to study this skill, and there are also many people who think that this is an advanced math problem, and through calculation and super memory, you can have a greater chance of winning.
Blackjack is also known as "Blackjack", in blackjack, an ace and a ten are larger than any other points, so the card that gets blackjack is usually called "Blackjack", and there is this kind of 21-point card game in French casinos around 1700. In 1931, when the state of Nevada declared gambling legal, the blackjack game appeared publicly in Nevada's casino clubs for the first time, and within 15 years, it replaced the craps game and became a very popular gambling game in which casino dealers participated.
Blackjack was initially only allowed to a maximum of six people in a game, but later the casino, in order to prevent the highly educated mathematians from counting and counting cards to win their money, added the cards used in blackjack to eight decks and mixed them together, which made it more difficult to keep the cards.
Zhou Xuan looked at this for a while, although he didn't understand the dealer's terminology, but the cards were the same as the domestic ones, there was no difference, and that meant that he understood, and the 21 points he had played in his hometown were the same, but he didn't play money, this game was money, and it was US dollars.
This gambling table is about five or six squares, about four meters long, but only more than two meters wide, Zhou Xuan's left hand pressed on the side of the table, the ice gas was transported to the glass card box of the dealer's puppet, and he clearly saw the suit and points of the cards in his mind, as long as he wanted, he could see the points of any card.
Zhou Xuan decided to come down, just play this, and then turned around to change some chips, turned around and saw Fu Ying and Wang Jue standing beside him, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why are you two here?" Didn't go with your cousin? ”
Fu Ying shook her head and said: "They went to gamble by themselves, I don't play this, I don't understand, except for a few of us, everyone else went to play, I guess you won't gamble, so I will follow you." ”
Zhou Xuan's face flushed, and he said, "Actually, I'm about to change chips to play a few games!" ”
"Oh!" Fu Ying glanced at Zhou Xuan sideways, she was really a little surprised, and then said, "Okay, you can play, I'll take a look." ”
Zhou Xuan looked around, it was true that except for the two of them, everyone else had scattered around to play the game, and even Elena and Yuriko Ono were at the gambling table.
Zhou Xuan took out the dollars in his pocket, counted two thousand, and then went to the counter to change the chips, although he couldn't speak English, but when he walked to the counter and didn't need to speak, people would know what you were doing, and folded the chips neatly and handed them to Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan still came to the blackjack table where Fu Ying and Wang Jue stayed, took a seat, and then counted the chips of a hundred dollars and put them in front of him.
This is not like the dice played on the Neptune, that can be 100% sure, and blackjack is not necessarily, and there are some slight possible changes, so Zhou Xuan did not dare to put the chips down at one time.
There are a total of seven players in this hand, including the dealer.
The dealer each sent a face card, and then each person sent a face card, Zhou Xuan's position ranked third, this turned over face card is a nine, and the face card is a square ten, adding up to nineteen points, this point is not small.
The dealer's face card is a spade ten, and the dark card Zhou Xuan also measured that it is a heart Q, which adds up to twenty points, a little bigger than himself.
The cards in the glass box, Zhou Xuan also measured the above ones, the first one is the square seven, the second is the two of spades, the third is the J of spades, and the fourth is the four of hearts.
Players do not bet, only with the dealer bet, that is to say, the dealer and their six players bet, according to the number of card points, may also win all, may also lose all, may also win half and lose half, but the number of wins no one knows, because you can look at the number of cards after feeling that the win is big can also raise.
Zhou Xuan thought about it, according to the dealer's current points, he is losing, but if you want to call the card, the first one is a seven, you call it and it bursts, the second one is a two, you call it just blackjack to win the dealer, if it is the back of a few cards, you will burst if you call it, you can only call the second card, but there are two players in front of you, I don't know if they will call the card, if you call, you can only allow one person to call, one person does not call, so you can get the spade two!
