This was an entertainment venue that combined a hotel and a casino. The casino was the main business, but it also provided food and lodging for the guests. It could be considered a bankrupt version of a Las Vegas casino.
The two groups squeezed in and the hotel quickly became overcrowded. The crowd was bustling and jostled each other. With Li Du and Long Hair as the dividing line, they stood opposite each other.
A gambling table at the side had been knocked over. The chips and gambling equipment had already been put away. There were traces of a motorcycle crash on the floor and it looked a little messy.
Li Du scanned the surroundings and then said, "You decide what to bet. I'm giving you face. I hope your buddies will give you face as well."
"Poker," someone came up and egged him on.
Long Hair looked at him and asked, "Why?"
That person said, "Poker is the most formal. It's played in movies and dramas."
Long Hair kicked that person. Needless to say, that person was an idiot. He was very frustrated and could not understand why there were so many idiots around him.
He gathered a few of his confidants and asked, "Is there anyone among us who is good at gambling?"
A bald middle-aged man in a leather jacket said, "Boss, we are not good at this. Our business is robbery and extortion. Although our buddies like to play a few rounds, as far as I know, they are not good at it."
"We have to be careful, boss," another man said. Another burly man said, "The Yankee offered to solve the problem in this way. He must be fearless."
Long Hair glared at that man and said, "Of course I know that. That's why I'm looking for a reliable guy to help me settle this."
"Why don't we bet on Big or Small? Throw the dice to guess Big or Small. This is purely based on luck. Anyway, if we lose, we will just have to throw an idiot out to get a slap. We can afford that."
Hearing this, Long Hair nodded and said, "That makes sense. Let's do it, guys."
He returned to the gambling table, patted the table and said, "Hey, throw the dice to bet on Big or Small. One round to decide the winner."
Li Du shook his head. "That won't do. It's too risky for me."
Long Hair sneered. "Why, you still want to win?"
Li Du shrugged and said, "Everyone has to have some dreams, right? If you don't have dreams, what's the difference between you and a salted fish? How about this, one hundred thousand per round. "
"I don't have that much time to play with you. Get a grip on reality, friend. This is Vorkuta, not America. One round, one million on the dice. "
"I'll choose first then," Li Du said.
Long Hair stared at him and then slowly nodded. "Alright, I'll let you guess first."
He did not believe that there was such a thing as a God of Gamblers in this world. That was just a trick used in television and movies for entertainment purposes. Besides, just as Li Du had joked earlier, although Long Hair had a scary appearance, he had indeed received higher education.
In probability, guessing the size of a die was a classic model. Whether it was big or small depended on probability, and guessing it correctly depended on luck.
Li Du sat at the gambling table with a faint smile on his face. He picked up the dice cup and prepared to shake it.
Long Hair pressed down on the dice cup and said coldly, "No, let me shake it."
Li Du said, "No, let a third party do it. There's a dealer in the casino. Let him host the gambling."
Long Hair agreed to his suggestion. An energetic and handsome young man stood between the two of them and asked, "How many dice?"
"One." Long Hair grinned and said, "Let's be quick and decisive. Let's not be so wishy-washy, right?"
Li Du nodded and said, "Of course."
The handsome young man took out a die and let the two of them check it. Then, he placed it in the dice cup and shook it elegantly.
The sound of the dice hitting each other could be heard. The young man slammed the dice on the gambling table and looked at Li Du. "Sir, please."
Li Du tilted his ear to the dice cup. He frowned and thought for a few seconds. Then, he slammed the table and said, "Big."
Long Hair said without hesitation, "Then I'll take small."
When the dice cup was opened, there were five dots in it. Without a doubt, it was big.
Long Hair frowned as well. Then, he waved his hand and a middle-aged man with a ferocious look was pushed out.
This was the man who had teased the bride and insulted Li Du. He was also the culprit behind this conflict.
A towering figure stood out from Li Du's side. Godzilla rubbed his hands and walked forward, grabbing the middle-aged man by his collar.
The middle-aged man was frightened. He shook his head and shouted something in Russian.
Long Hair grew impatient and shouted, "Coward, sissy! It's just a slap! "
Godzilla faced the middle-aged man and slapped him with his huge, fan-like hand. He hated the middle-aged man for causing trouble and insulting Li Du. Hence, he used all his strength in that slap!
Slap!
There was a loud sound. The middle-aged man did not even have time to scream before he was forcefully thrown off the ground!
The onlookers sucked in a breath of cold air. The middle-aged man's accomplices were shocked. Some of them had already secretly squeezed to the back, trying to leave this dangerous place.
The middle-aged man looked as if he had been hit by a car. After he fell to the ground, his legs twitched a few times and he fainted. The left side of his face that was slapped swelled up like a steamed bun.
The first round ended and the second round began.
The young man pressed the dice cup down and looked at Li Du. Li Du thought for a while and said slowly, "Still big!"
Long Hair said with a sullen face, "I'm still small."
The dice cup was opened. This time, it was six dots. It was still big!
Another man was pushed out. With the middle-aged man as an example, the big man was scared out of his wits. He shook his head and said, "No, why should it be me? I have nothing to do with this, nothing to do with it … "
Since it had nothing to do with him, the other men started shouting, "Don't be like a girl!" "Coward!" "What a disgrace!"
Like an eagle trying to catch a chick, Godzilla stretched out his arm and pulled the big man to his side. The big man struggled with all his might. Godzilla let go of his left hand and swung his right hand. It was another big slap!
Similarly, the big man was sent flying by the slap. When he landed on the ground, his eyes rolled back and he fainted. Like the middle-aged man before him, he must have had a concussion.
The third round began. Once the dice cup was placed, Li Du smiled and said, "This time, I want small!"
Long Hair took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I want big."
Just as the handsome young man was about to open the dice cup, the crowd behind Long Hair started to get agitated. More than ten people started to push back. As they pushed, they shouted, "Savich was the one who caused this. Why should we take the blame?"
Seeing this, Li Du laughed and said, "Hey, buddy, looks like the men of Vorkuta are not all tough guys?"
Long Hair heard the sarcasm in Li Du's words and felt deeply embarrassed. He turned around angrily and shouted, "All of you, shut up! Stand there obediently. I'm going to win this round. Look at all of you! D * mn it, a bunch of cowards! "
