Everyone at the table quietened down. Let's not talk about whether this statement was correct or not. Let's not talk about the fact that in this game of Blackjack, two cards had to be dealt before the bets could be placed. What's with him throwing down 500 chips, and it's a "five-card stud." Does that mean that it's all his wealth? Isn't this supposed to be a duel between gambling masters? Shouldn't everyone take a box of money and bet against each other? What's the use of these 500 dollars? Even the smallest chip on the table is 1000, okay?
The group of foreigners looked at Li Huailin in confusion. What is this guy doing here? Is he here to cause trouble?
At this moment, the dealer, Kerry, who was standing opposite Li Huailin, suddenly trembled. Then, he looked at Li Huailin in front of him. Suddenly, his expression changed, "Wait … Could you be the legendary God of Gamblers, Zhao Ritian?"
"Huh?" Everyone was taken aback.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you sound like you're quite famous." Su Shuizhen understood Kerry's English. Although she didn't know what was going on, she felt that it was very impressive. She looked at Li Huailin with a starry face and said.
"Is this guy really that good?" Everyone looked at Li Huailin again. Who was Zhao Ritian? How could they have heard of him? Moreover, he had such an exaggerated name like God of Gamblers. This was too exaggerated. However, although they didn't know Li Huailin or Zhao Ritian, they all knew the dealer, Kerry. He was the best dealer in this casino. Now that Kerry had a serious expression on his face, no matter how they looked at it, it looked like he was facing a formidable opponent. Could it be that this Hua Xia was really that good?
"Hmm …" Li Huailin nodded casually, then said to Kerry, "I heard that you're the best gambler here. I, Zhao Ritian, am the first to be dissatisfied. Now, I'm willing to bet all my wealth. Do you dare to accept the challenge?"
Li Huailin said as he patted the 500 yuan worth of chips on the table. The onlookers next to him had vertical lines on their heads. This was his entire fortune.
"Alright …" Kerry nodded, "I've long heard of the God of Gamblers, Zhao Ritian. Now that I've met you, you're indeed extraordinary. However, I, Kerry, don't work here for nothing. Mr. Zhao, please take a seat …"
"Yes." Li Huailin immediately sat down. Su Shuizhen, who was at the side, sat beside Li Huailin with a face full of excitement. Su Ruoyan, who was at the back, held her forehead, but still sat down.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you're so awesome. It feels like you're shooting a movie." Su Shuizhen grabbed Li Huailin and shouted.
"Calm down, calm down. I can't use my skills if you keep pulling me like this," Li Huailin said.
"Oh." Su Shuizhen quickly let go of Li Huailin's hand. However, she only paused for a second before asking again, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, how do you play Blackjack?"
At this point, the first round had already begun. Of course, only Kerry and Li Huailin were left to gamble. Hence, Kerry dealt two cards to Li Huailin and himself. One was on the light side and the other was hidden. Coincidentally, both of them had a J on the light side, so they both had 10 points.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I understand." Su Shuizhen suddenly said, "Are we going to give each of us two cards to see who's bigger or smaller?"
Su Shuizhen really hit the nail on the head this time. In fact, to put it simply, Blackjack was really a game of comparing who's bigger or smaller. It was just that there was an additional rule of not exceeding 21 points. Of course, the world wasn't that simple. Although Su Ruoyan didn't like to gamble, she still knew the rules of Blackjack. Now that Li Huailin was playing against someone, Su Ruoyan wanted to explain the rules to her cousin.
However, before she could speak, Li Huailin had already said, "Of course not. It's not that simple."
Seeing that Li Huailin had begun to explain, Su Ruoyan stopped and waited for Li Huailin to speak. Sure enough, Li Huailin continued, "Why are you so stupid? Isn't this game called Blackjack? The rules are obviously based on the cards. J, Q, and K are all 10 points, and the ace is 11 points. Then, add them up and see who can reach 21 points."
Li Huailin was right. Su Ruoyan also nodded.
"What if we don't add up to 21 points?" Su Shuizhen asked.
"Then, you'll lose." Li Huailin waved his hand and said with certainty.
"Eh? Isn't this very difficult? I didn't expect this game to be so difficult. Isn't it usually impossible to get 21 points? "Su Shuizhen asked.
"Of course, it's difficult. If it wasn't difficult, why would I, Zhao Ritian, have to do it?" Li Huailin said proudly with his chest out.
"Wait a minute …" Su Ruoyan suddenly put her hand on Li Huailin's shoulder and asked, "Are you sure this is the rule for Blackjack?"
"Of course." Li Huailin said with certainty.
"Why is this different from what I heard?" Su Ruoyan asked.
"Cough cough … But this is the rule on my side." Li Huailin said forcefully.
"Can this be played?" Su Ruoyan said, "Is it really okay?"
"Of course …" Li Huailin waved his hand. "No problem. Watch me cut him."
Fortunately, the people around them were all foreigners. Li Huailin was communicating in Mandarin. The only person who understood him was Kevin who was sitting at the back. He was sweating profusely …
"Mr. Zhao, please place your bet." As they were talking, Kerry asked again.
"All in." Li Huailin threw the 500 yuan worth of chips in his hand.
"Understood." At Blackjack, the banker did not need to place a bet. If the player won, he would have to pay double the amount. If it was Black Jack, he would have to pay double the amount. (The rules here were a little different. Normally, it was 1.5 times. The other rules were slightly different too. Please do not look into it.) The game was very fast. Although it looked like the loss was small, it was actually very fast.
"So, do you still want to play cards?" Kerry asked.
On Li Huailin's side, he looked at his other card and flipped it over. Everyone immediately surrounded it. The result was not good. The card that was covered was 7 points. So, Li Huailin's two cards were 17 points. This number was very annoying. Unless it was 1, 2, 3, or 4, it would be a loss.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of number was the most troublesome for players. If they did not want it, they would think it was too small. If they wanted it, there was a high chance that it would be a loss. However, Li Huailin did not seem to have this concern at all. He didn't even think about it and directly slapped it. "Of course. Do you think I will admit defeat?"
"Admit defeat?" Everyone was stunned. Could it be that Li Huailin had already seen through the fact that his opponent's points were higher than his?
No matter what, since Li Huailin asked for a card, Kerry naturally gave it to him. Li Huailin did not play around. He took the card and directly opened it on the table. Everyone immediately looked over and took a deep breath. The card on the table … was really a 4. Now, Li Huailin's points were 21 points.
Everyone immediately exclaimed.
"Brother-in-law, Brother-in-law, it's 21 points. Sigh, does this mean that you win?" Su Shuizhen shouted excitedly.
"No, no, no … I seem to remember that if the dealer also has 21 points, then it's counted as the dealer winning," Li Huailin said. He then said with uncertainty, "I think so."
"…" Su Ruoyan was speechless. She could basically tell that Li Huailin really … didn't know how to gamble.
Kerry, of course, did not stop. When he saw Li Huailin's 21 points, he was slightly shocked. Then, he slowly opened his card. This card was a 9, so Kerry now had 19 points. Indeed, if Li Huailin did not ask for a card, then Kerry would win. The surrounding people were also shocked. This … was this really the strength of the God of Gamblers?
Because Li Huailin already had 21 points, Kerry now had to take a card. Moreover, it had to be a 2. Otherwise, he would lose. Kerry took a deep breath. He seemed to be very focused as he waited for a while. Then, he directly flipped over the top of the table and placed it in front of him.
Everyone looked over again. The card in front of Kerry was … 6. 19 + 6 = 25. That's right, Kerry had dropped a card. This meant that Li Huailin had won.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, he has 25 points. Sigh, we won," Su Shuizhen immediately shouted.
"Mmm …" Li Huailin nodded casually. He did not seem to care. The surrounding people were also shocked. They did not expect Kerry to actually lose. Although it was only one round, Kerry was already the strongest dealer here. It was rare to see him lose. Moreover, most of the time, he purposely went easy on them. From the way he looked just now, it was obvious that he had used all his strength. However, he still lost. Could it be that this Hua Xia Zhao Ritian was really powerful?
The 1,000 yuan chip was placed in front of Li Huailin. Kerry did not seem to have much of a change in his expression. He asked again, "Sir, do you want to continue?"
"Of course." Li Huailin immediately waved his hand, "Again."
Kerry, of course, began to deal the cards again. After the two cards were dealt, Li Huailin immediately threw down the 1,000 yuan that he had just won. Then, he turned back to look at his own card. The open card was a K. Li Huailin did not say anything and immediately flipped over his hidden card. This time, his hidden card was a 2. It added up to 12 points.
"Do you need insurance?" Kerry suddenly asked. Because his open card was an A, he asked if he needed insurance.
"Insurance?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. To be honest, he did not really understand what insurance was, but … it sounded very cowardly. "No need. Deal the cards."
Kerry frowned slightly. He flipped over his hidden card. The result was a 6. The two cards could add up to a 7 or a 17. It was indeed not a Blackjack.
"Deal the cards quickly. Deal the cards quickly." Li Huailin did not know that he had dodged a trap and continued to shout.
On the other side, Kerry directly sent a card over. Li Huailin immediately opened it. Everyone cried out in surprise because Li Huailin's card was … a 9.
