Gambling games

Double Russian roulette.

A game like this doesn't require much space, just a table and a pair of chairs on either side will do. However, when he walked into that room, Liang Jingmo realized that he was wrong. Although this game does not require any complicated furnishings, on the periphery of this table and a pair of chairs, there are seven or eight presenters standing in unison. They leaned against the corner with their hands behind their backs, and their faces were as serious as if they were facing a great enemy.

Liang Jingmo recognized several of them. The five hosts who were maintaining order in the voting room just now all appeared here at this time, and in addition to that, three people were added in one go, which can be regarded as showing the organizer's best efforts for the fairness of the game. After all, nine times out of ten, Liang Jingmo will deal with a high-ranking host, if he wants to do something, it is really difficult for ordinary hosts to see through, let alone take corresponding measures.

Although quantity cannot make up for the gap in quality, it is still better than no quantity.

"This host really makes you very jealous." Liang Jingmo smiled, pulled out a chair and sat down. In front of him was an ordinary four-corner table with two silver-gray revolvers side by side. And the opponent in this game, who was supposed to sit opposite him, had not yet arrived at this time. Liang Jingmo glanced left and right, tried to raise his hand and slowly picked up one of the pistols. There was no reaction from the surrounding hosts, so it seems that the inspection of the pistol itself is not illegal, and the host is not worried about what he is doing with the pistol.

"I see, there are no bullets in it." Liang Jingmo opened the magazine and glanced at it, and nodded. He played with the gun in his hand, feeling the cold metal touch of his fingertips, but his mind flew back to the rules he had just heard.

"Double Russian roulette, as the name suggests, is a slightly more complicated form of Russian roulette." Danqing said as he slowly looked around, "Although it's a bit redundant, but I'll make sure, everyone knows what kind of gameplay this is, right?" ”

Xiang Nanxing hesitated, but still raised his hand obediently: "I'm sorry, I can only be regarded as half-understood, so please explain it first." He is also cautious, because many well-known games in this country may have a unique form, and asking more about this is also for the sake of insurance.

Danqing nodded.

"Russian Roulette is a very straightforward gambling game. Unlike other gambling games that use poker, dice, etc., Russian roulette uses a revolver, and its bets can only be human lives. "The original rules of the game were simple: put one or more bullets in the six nests of the revolver, then spin the wheel and close it. Players take turns pointing their pistols at their heads to pull the trigger, of course, those who are shot will automatically quit, those who are stage frightened will also lose, and those who persist until the end are the winners. In some cases, onlookers can also bet on the lives of the participating players. Because of the lethal nature of this game, the laws of many countries have explicitly banned it, and even prosecuted those who participated in the game for murder. Of course, this is nothing at all with us. ”

Xiang Nanxing let out an "um" sound. In this way, the rules of the Xifeng Republic were not different from the kind he had heard before, it was the same cruel game of risking his life, but there was no additional tricky setting.

Then it occurred to him that what they were facing at this time was not the original rule, but a modified "two-player version". But speaking of which, the original Russian Roulette was originally a game played by two or even multiple people in turn, this "two" ......

"Double means not just two players." Danqing seemed to see through the doubts in his heart, "Of course, this is also one of the reasons, because the traditional version of the game can allow multiple people to participate, and the next game we will play will limit the number of participants to two." But most importantly, there's a 'two guns at the same time' rule in the game that follows. ”

He raised one hand and gestured to the pistol position: "There are only two players who will participate, and each will be given a revolver, and one bullet will be given for each round." The player can choose to place the bullet into one of the magazines and then close it, handing the guns to each other. And then ......"

He put his hand forward and fired a shot with a "bang": "It's the shooting phase." ”

"I guess it's not going to be such an exciting thing to shoot at each other, right?" Liang Jingmo seemed to be smiling.

"There are times when we shoot at each other, but only once." Danqing said, "You also know, the average revolver has six bullet nests, which means that a single load can fire six shots, and the content of each round of this game is that both players take turns to shoot, until the six shots are fired." It's just that there are still restrictions on how these six shots can be fired. ”

"At least three of the six shots must be fired with the muzzle of the gun on one's temple, two more chances to shoot at the nearest nobody, and one time, as mentioned above, where the player can target the opponent. In each round, players are free to choose which shot to use and when, as long as the number limits of each type are not violated. If you want to die, you can also completely ignore the latter two ways and shoot yourself in the head six times. ”

Liang Jingmo narrowed his eyes wordlessly. Traditional Russian roulette is all about luck, depending on whose nerves can't support it first, but at this time, the one they want to play has some more strategic elements, the most important of which is undoubtedly to observe the opponent. According to what Danqing just introduced, the strategies that players can adopt in each round can be roughly divided into three types, the first is complete passivity, that is, shooting at yourself, and betting that there are no bullets in that shot. The second can be seen as a slightly more active "risk elimination", which is to eliminate the potential threat and shoot it into the open space next to it if it believes that there is a bullet. The third way is to completely "counterattack", which is the only way to take the initiative to win without expecting the opponent to make mistakes.

But when to use which strategy is a test of the player's judgment. Another difference between the rules of this game and the original is that the bullets are placed by the opposite player, rather than randomly making the wheel spin. This way, the player on the opposite side will at least know if the shot is loaded or not before the shot is fired, and this may be reflected in his expression or movements.

If you can see through it, you can leave the bullet in this shot to your opponent. Even if it's not 100% sure, there are still two chances to shoot at the side. But conversely, adversaries can also take advantage of this mentality to deceive.

What was originally a game of luck and tenacity has been transformed into a duel of guts and wit, and the complexity has skyrocketed, making the process even more tense.

"The original version of Russian roulette allowed to concede defeat halfway, and our game also does not require players to actually fight to the point of not ending to the death, so it is okay to admit defeat." Danqing continued, "But you can only concede defeat before the start of each round, and once the first shot has been fired, you have to play that round of the game. In addition, in order to ensure that the game process is more fair, we will also make a small change to the traditional facilities, but this in itself will not affect the rules. ”

"So what kind of 'little modification' is it?" Liang Jingmo asked.

Danqing shrugged: "This ...... You'll know when the time comes. ”

Although he said so, Liang Jingmo's doubts had not been answered at this time. After entering the venue, he carefully looked around his chair from top to bottom, and carefully checked the chair opposite and the bottom of the middle table to make sure that there were no mechanisms. In this way, if there are any additional measures, it can only be implemented by these surrounding hosts. To be fair, this is, of course, left to the same time as both players are seated.

"In that case, we can only wait."

Liang Jingmo just sat down leisurely on the chair, but in the next second, he suddenly jumped up as if his butt was burned. For at this moment the door opposite him suddenly opened, and a young man walked in, with a polite smile on his face.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting." He folded his hands together in apology.

He was of medium height, his shoulders were not broad, and his figure looked thin at first glance, especially in the obviously oversized black suit. However, when he got closer and looked again, the knife-like muscle lines under the slim shirt were actually quite obvious. Every move he makes, it seems to contain a strong explosive power.

But his face is delicate, with a melon seed face, handsome facial features, and even a little evil taste. The eyes that look at this side always have a feeling of smiling but not smiling, which makes people unable to see through it at all.

This kind of person is not easy to deal with. Liang Jingmo recognized this at the first glance when he saw him. And he was not the only one who observed the opponent, at this time, although this young man was saying sorry words in his mouth, his eyes were already firmly fixed on Liang Jingmo's face, and he did not let go of every detail of the change in his expression.

The two of them stood across the table, and almost at the same time they reached out their hands and shook them vaguely above the table. Liang Jingmo felt that the touch of the other party's palm was much rougher than he imagined, and it was completely incompatible with his delicate face. Such a hand is undoubtedly the best proof of being well-trained and experienced in a hundred battles.

"I'm Liang Jingmo, give me a lot of advice." He nodded, kind of a hello.

"Hello, I'm your opponent this time."

The young man smiled, grinning at his neat white teeth.

Xu Wen. The host is ranked fourth, nicknamed 'Abyss', and some people used to call me 'Iron Lump', whatever you like. ”
