Chapter 28 Gambling (1)
(Please recommend, please bookmark it!!)
Ike and his group entered the "Patters Forest". They did not enter through the main entrance, but were led by Pitt's friend Jones Dock.
The VIP channel is surprisingly deep, as if you can't see the end at a glance. There is an archway across three windows. The color of the arch is orange-red, with reliefs painted on it. Each frame seems to have a distant story... The infinite archway stretches out like this, making people feel a hint of pleasure from the heart.
After a few turns, the group finally came to a wide private room. When they came here from the passage, they felt a sudden enlightenment. The private room was extremely luxuriously decorated, and it was shining everywhere under the bright lights.
There were a few dressed people sitting in the room, and a blonde beauty was snuggling beside each other. When everyone saw Jones and the others come in, they all got up and greeted him enthusiastically. Jones introduced Ike and his party to everyone one by one.
"Wow, today is a VIP visit." said a beautiful woman with a cross-legged boss, "Jones, you don't need to introduce them. These people are big stars, we all know them."
Everyone smiled, and Pitt walked up to kiss the beauty's hand, and then said, "Brad Pitt." He seemed very polite.
"Salina." The beauty said with a smile, "You are more handsome than in the movie." After that, she looked at the boss beside her.
The boss in the suit reached out and shook Pitt's hand, "I'm glad to know you, Mr. Pitt, I'm Filmen Jason."
"Hello, Mr. Fei Lin."
In this way, everyone in the room knew each other after a long time. Kate's arm was tightly held on Ike. She seemed a little nervous. Ike gently touched her hand from time to time to make her feel relaxed.
In front of this private room is a large glass wall, from which Ike can see the whole club clearly. On the other side of the wall is a dance floor, with flashing lights, blurred music, and the chaotic crowd dancing. Some people are sitting leisurely at the bartender watching the bartender playing with the bottle. The bottle is swimming obediently between the left and right hands, bounced up and down, gentle and pretentious. On the side are some slot machines and small card tables, and there are still many people who are enjoying themselves. Their expressions are sometimes happy and sometimes depressed.
Ike was just as he could see, Jones walked over and said to him, "Don't worry, this glass is one-sided and sound-proof."
Ike Brick glanced at Jones, then subconsciously knocked on the glass, and Kate beside him smiled.
"Everyone play two games," Jones greeted, and he ordered his men to get some chips. "Today, so many Hollywood stars have arrived, which makes my club prosperous. The first chip I gave, so everyone has fun."
Everyone laughed and clapped. "Jones, you have never been so generous." An old man in his 60s shouted, and the sexy foreign girl beside him even slapped, "That's it."
"Mr. White, Miss Linda, don't make fun of me, today there are distinguished guests." Jones responded with a smile.
While everyone was joking, they walked towards the card table in the middle of the private room. Seeing that Ike was not moving, Pete still sat on the sofa, and then said, "Li, come on, play for a few."
Ike shook his head, he picked up a glass of champagne on the tea table and said, "You guys can play, I don't know much, I'll just look at it, Kate, go and play."
Kate, who was sitting next to Ike, shook his head and shrugged, "I won't go either."
Pete looked at the two of them and smiled, "Okay, then the three of us will have a while to play."
They played blackjack, also known as "Black Jack." This is a very interesting card game. It first appeared in the 16th century and originated in France. It is called "vingt-et-un (20 and 1). Therefore, after it became popular, the game was called "21". Later it was introduced to the UK and widely circulated. If players get black heart "a" and black heart "j", they will give additional rewards. The English name is black Jack (black-jack). In the game, each player strives to get the cards closest to 21 points, but it cannot exceed 21 points. If it exceeds "blasting cards", it means that it fails. Only those closest to 21 points (or 21 points) may win.
Later, the definition of "Black Jack" changed a little. Players do not have to get the black heart "a" and the black heart "j". As long as there are only two cards in their hands, and the two cards are 21, they are called "Black Jack". The number of cards has also increased from one deck at the beginning to 4 decks, and the big and small kings have been removed, with a total of 208 cards.
There are many rules here. The first is the calculation of points: the calculation of points: a can be used as a point or eleven points, 2-10 is used as the points of the card, j, q, and k are used as ten points.
The number of players in the game is 2-6.
Then there is dealing cards, and the dealing cards are dealing cards. The dealer is the dealer responsible for dealing cards, and the rest of the players are idle players. The idle player must throw a certain bet code to the dealer. The dealer will distribute a clear card to the idle player in a clockwise direction, and then distribute a clear card to himself; the dealer once again distributes a clear card to the idle player clockwise direction (at this time the dealer will no longer deal the cards; the second card of the dealer will be distributed until all the idle players complete the operation. If the two cards distributed by the dealer are not enough 17 points, continue to deal the cards until they are greater than or equal to 17 points.) (When the first card of the dealer is a, the dealer asks the idle player whether to buy insurance; when the first card of the dealer is a card other than a, the dealer asks the idle player whether to surrender).
The meaning of buying insurance here is - after dealing the card, when the dealer's first clear card is a, the dealer asks the idle player whether to buy insurance; the idle player can use an additional bet equivalent to half of the original bet to buy insurance, and use it to bet whether the total sum of the first two cards of the dealer will be 21 points; if it is 21 points, you can get a compensation of 2 times the insurance amount. If the dealer is not 21 points, the idle player will lose the insurance money and the game will proceed as usual. Black Jack is greater than other cards with a total of 21 points. (For example, 5 cards are gathered to 21 points, but it is not as big as "Black Jack")
Surrender means that after dealing, when the dealer's first card is a card other than a, the dealer asks the idle players whether to surrender. If the player only has two cards in his hand, he has the right to surrender and return half of the bet (this is only applicable if the dealer's card opened is not a).
Ike knew that a is a very critical card here, which can be used as 11 points or 1 point. If the player will explode due to a, a can be counted as 1 point. When a in one hand is counted as 11 points, this hand is called "soft-hand", because unless the player takes another card, there will be no explosive card.
The purpose of each player is to get the closest 21 points to defeat the dealer, but at the same time, to avoid the explosive card. It should be noted that if the player explodes the card first, it is a loss, even if the dealer explodes the card later. If the player and the dealer have the same points, this state is called a draw "push", and neither the player nor the dealer are considered a winner. The game between each player and the dealer is independent, so in the same game, the dealer may lose to some players, but also defeat other players at the same time.
It is easy to understand that the explosive card is easy to understand - if the idle player wants a card, the total number of points of the cards he has in his hand exceeds 21 points, commonly known as the explosive card, the idle player's bet will belong to the dealer. On the contrary, if the total number of points of the cards he has in his hand does not exceed 21 points, the idle player can decide whether to continue to want a card. If the idle player blows the card, he will compensate the idle player who has not had the explosive card to pay the same bet invested by the idle player.
There is another rule called "Report" here, that is, when the dealer's first card is a, the first two cards will appear blackjack, the dealer can perform the registration operation, and the dealer pays the dealer at the odds of 1:1. If the dealer does not report, the game will continue normally. In the end, the dealer is not blackjack, and the dealer can win the dealer 1.5 times the payer. If the dealer is also blackjack, then the draw will not be counted. When the dealer is blackjack, the dealer will not be a. The dealer directly pays the dealer at the odds of 1:2. At this time, the battle between the dealer and the dealer ends.
The gambling game has begun in the center of the private room. The dealer is a middle-aged man named Ramosen inside the club. He is in his 40s and is wearing a straight suit and looks smart and capable.
Jude Law and Pitt participated in the game on the card, while Cusack was watching the game like Ike.
In addition to Pete and Jude, there were three people in the house, including the dealer, there were 6 people in total.
