Chapter Seventy-One: Let's Have a Sand Crab
The Red Night Casino is located in Forte, an outlying city, where there are significantly more beggars than in other areas, and some of the casino's proud people will throw some gold pounds to destroy their luck in order to avoid contact with the foul-smelling beggars, and of course more nobles with guards, who will not take money to kill the disaster.
At this time, Roddy happened to see several guards beating a male beggar who looked to be about forty years old at the entrance of the casino, and a middle-aged woman wearing extravagant jewelry reprimanded something with a foul face.
Roddy clenched his fists tightly, trying to suppress the thought of drawing a knife to help, until in the end he still didn't do it.
The middle-aged woman got into her exclusive carriage, and the guards trotted after it, leaving the poor beggar lying on the ground and wailing in a low voice.
Roddy walked slowly towards the casino, and when he approached the beggar, he invisibly dropped two gold pounds and entered the casino.
The unhappiness in his heart made Roddy's face gloomy, and some gamblers avoided him when they saw him, most likely because they regarded Roddy as a frustrated person in the casino, for fear of being contaminated with bad luck, but it also gave Roddy enough spacious area to observe the casino.
It was filled with all kinds of gamblers, but most of them were ordinary people in ordinary clothes and loud voices, which also made the whole casino environment very noisy, except for the gamblers and the tables, there was nothing worth noting, so Roddy looked at the door to the second floor.
There were two burly men standing on the left and right by the door, the black uniform and the vicious eyes made Roddy realize that it was not a simple matter to want to blend in, and after a slight hesitation, Roddy came to the booth at the edge of the casino, touched the last money in his pocket and reluctantly ordered a cocktail.
If he could order plain water, Roddy would not refuse, because the cheapest drink cost a shameful three gold pounds, and it only looked a little better than the inferior wine that was poured together.
Endured the heartache, Roddy took a small sip while quietly looking at the table and the second floor.
Whether it is the memory of the past life or this life, there is no memory related to the casino, which also makes Roddy unable to understand the rules of the casino at all, and then has to use the ability of the voyeur to snoop.
Although Roddy's ability to spy cannot peek into other people's secrets, he has an extraordinary sensitivity to the environment and occult rituals.
Before that, he had been worrying about how to make money quickly, and at this time, through the ability of the voyeur, he found out what was the most suitable profession for him - gambler.
There was no need to understand the rules at all, Roddy looked at the cocktail that had barely moved, and left the booth very proudly, and came to a table that looked like a large disc.
It consisted of a slightly dented strip and two metal balls, and the gamblers around it were grim-faced, red-faced and shouting unintelligible terms, and Roddy looked at it quietly for a while before giving it up, and looked at the gamblers with some pity.
If it weren't for the manipulators, these people would not be able to make money in their lifetime, and most gambling equipment has the same nature, which corresponds to the fact that those who are addicted to gambling usually end up with a wife and a broken wife, but there are exceptions.
Just in the middle of the casino, there is an area with an unusually small number of gamblers, with rectangular tables and gambling equipment similar to playing cards, and there is also a manipulator, but for this kind of gambling equipment Roddy has labeled this manipulator as a dealer.
After watching it for more than ten minutes, Roddy had a general understanding of the rules, and they had a total of twenty-eight cards, consisting of seven groups of four cards of the same kind, which was simply a sand crab.
This thing can be regarded as suitable for all ages, a very popular way to play, in the previous life, although Roddy has not played but has not seen a few buddies in the dormitory play, so he went directly to the table and put out all the chips, a gold pound.
The gamblers at the same table smiled kindly at the new participants, until the bright gold pound made a crisp sound, everyone's faces were a little stiff, and even the dealer on the side had already frowned, thinking that Roddy was here to stir up the game and was ready to chase people away.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Roddy hurriedly took out a silver pocket watch, this thing is the extraordinary item that Captain Bob gave him to protect himself, regardless of the nature of the extraordinary item, the pocket watch itself is a luxury, so the dealer said aloud after checking the authenticity of the pocket watch:
"This gentleman's pocket watch is worth a hundred gold pounds, is there anyone who objects to him being put on the table?"
Luo Di didn't expect that participating in this gambling game still needs the consent of the participants, and the unexpected situation made Luo Di a little flustered, but fortunately, the number of people who agreed and refused was two to one, and Luo Di successfully participated in the game.
"There are no special requirements for this gentleman, if you ask for a priority deal, you need to get the consent of Clark Dahl and make a throw, and you can only do it if you succeed. ”
The dealer said to Roddy as usual, and at the same time Roddy also looked at the gambler that the dealer was pointing at, he bit his cigar and stared at him with an unkind face.
"Hehe, no. Roddy smiled and rejected the dealer's offer.
When everyone is ready, the dealer does three standard shuffles and cuts, then pushes the pile to Clarkdal, who cuts the cards again and pushes them back to the dealer, who begins to deal the cards in counterclockwise order.
Clarkdal is the first card, Roddy is the tail card, and after two rounds of dealing, everyone has two hole cards.
The dealer looked at Clarkdahl and motioned for him to continue the game, Clarkdal first glanced at his hole cards, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he looked a little vicious, and deliberately stared at Roddy and said:
"Ten gold pounds. ”
The dealer repeated the chips, and the person who agreed to follow revealed one of the two hole cards, except for a slightly thin middle-aged man who gloomily pushed off the hole cards, leaving only Roddy unrevealed.
In the eyes of the dealer and the other participants, Roddy calmly and confidently made it clear that he had a card, the card with the smallest base.
A slight sneer came from Clarkdahl's mouth, and not only him, but also the dealer looked at Roddy with some pity, this kind of hand to win means that the combination with the next three cards is extremely harsh, but it also means that once the combination is successful, the hand will be one-sided.
These people probably already put Roddy in the category of rookies in their hearts, and are the kind of guys who have no money and are in dire need of money, and can't stand the low purchase price of pawnshops.
It is precisely the casinos that like to entertain this kind of guests the most, and the gamblers also like this kind of opponent the most, who doesn't like the guy who gives money for nothing?
Roddy could easily see this thought from the faces of these people, but in Roddy's eyes, these people's cards were much cleaner than their faces.
"Raise, twenty gold pounds. ”
Roddy looked at Clarkdahl with a calm expression and chuckled back.
