One Piece: God Killer
Chapter 36 Bet on Big or Small
Inside the casino, there was a lot of people. Pirates who lick blood from their swords, ruthless businessmen, penniless vagrants, old people who cannot repay their debts, brave bounty hunters, and even usually honest farmers all seem to have lost their temper in the casino. He put all his bets like crazy in an attempt to get rich overnight.
Their gambling methods can be considered to be all kinds of strange. Some play small steel balls, some play cards, and some play chess.
However, at least for now, among all the games, the most eye-catching is the dice-tossing table.
The method of throwing dice to compare the size can be said to be the simplest of all gambling games. In this way, the dealer will put three dice into a covered vessel and shake them, and then the players will place bets to guess the size of the points (the rule of betting in the world of One Piece is that 3 to 10 points are small, and 11 to 18 for large). If the guess is correct, the player will get twice the amount of chips bet. If the guess is wrong, the player will lose all the chips.
The winning rate of this game method is 50-50. If domineering and special fruit abilities are not taken into account, winning is theoretically entirely dependent on luck. Players cannot increase the probability of winning by improving their skills. The several gambling tables on site looked like they were split 50-50 between the big ones and the small ones. And since the banker can get a commission from the bets, the banker will always be in a favorable position in the long run. What's more, the dealer's methods are naturally not that simple. They can still do it by quietly doing some tricks on the dice throwing techniques or tools.
Because this gambling method is very simple and does not require any skills, many novices often start with this method when they come into contact with gambling.
However, at this time, a larger than normal number of gamblers gathered in front of one of the large and small gambling tables. Without it, these gamblers would all be attracted by the blind man walking towards the gaming table.
"blind!"
"He's actually a blind man!"
"Can a blind man come to the casino?"
"He's finished. That guy from Marshall eats people without spitting out their bones!"
Some of the surrounding gamblers were whispering, and some were speaking loudly without any scruples. Even the dealers and service staff of the casino were attracted.
Wearing a purple coat and leaning on a blind stick, he smiled in a leisurely manner. Living as a blind person for a long time has made him adapt to the pointing of people around him. He walked through the crowd nonchalantly, walked to the gaming table, and sat down.
When the croupier saw this, he thought he had gone to the wrong place, so he came up to him and said, "Sir, we run a casino here. Look..."
"I'm here to take a gamble." Yixiao responded calmly.
"But..." The croupier wanted to say, "But you are blind. How can you gamble if you cannot see?" However, he always felt embarrassed, so he hesitated to speak.
Yixiao didn't know what the croupier wanted to say. He took out a bag of berries from his waist, put it on the table, and said loudly: "Is there a rule here that blind people are not allowed to gamble?"
"Of course not!" The croupier immediately beamed when he saw a bag of berries. This business was perfect for him. After all, the other party was blind, and it would be much easier for him to cheat and default on his debt later.
While talking, the croupier took away Berry and replaced it with chips: "Sir, these are your chips." Of course, considering that the customer is blind, it is appropriate to charge more handling fees to serve him.
"Isn't that right," Morana whispered to Profik, "Why are there so few?"
Profik said calmly: "Let's go over and take a look."
The croupier who quietly enriched himself said to Yixiao: "Sir, what we are betting here is big and small..."
"I bet big," Yixiao interrupted the croupier, directly stated the direction of his bet, and threw out a chip at the same time.
"Good!" the dealer agreed, then he picked up an iron box, put the dice in, and then started shaking it in a very professional manner.
After the sound of caracara, the croupier placed the iron box on the table.
The dice fell on the table, and the three dice rolled out three, six and six respectively, and 15, which was exactly the right number.
"Congratulations, you hit the jackpot." The dealer said, returning the chips that Yixiao had pressed on, and then handed him some new chips. Of course, in addition to the share that will be taken away by the casino according to regulations, the croupier also did not forget to give him a smile.
Yixiao didn't seem to know that the dealer gave him less chips. He seemed to be very happy to take the chips given by the dealer.
"Sir, do you want to gamble again?"
Yixiao just threw out more chips and continued to say very firmly: "Big!"
This time, the number of the dice rolled was thirteen, and Yixiao hit the mark again. This time, because he had more chips than last time, he won more money. Of course, the dealer secretly took even more money.
"Big!" Yixiao pushed out the chips for the third time and said firmly.
Profic has been carefully observing Yixiao's gambling game. In addition to him, Morana and Fuentes were also attracted.
Profik discovered that Yixiao really loved gambling. And, what is very interesting is that every time he bets on the dice points, he bets bigger, and the number of chips he puts on the dice is getting bigger and bigger.
Of course, people like Yixiao who are immersed in the fun of gambling usually disdain to use their Haki and Devil Fruit abilities to cheat. The reason why he loves gambling is because of the huge uncertainty in gambling. Even Yixiao, who became an admiral decades later, still maintained his love for gambling. In the original plot of One Piece, Fujitora once used the points of rolling dice to decide whether to capture Luffy in Dressrosa. If ability is used to control the outcome, gambling will lose its charm.
The direct result of this is that Yixiao also has losses and wins when gambling. Even because Yixiao is blind, he still suffers losses in many gambling games. Therefore, in general, Yixiao loses more than he wins and loses a lot of money in gambling.
But it was different today. Perhaps he was favored by the goddess of luck. Since Profik's observation, Yixiao had always won more and lost less, so the number of chips in front of him was naturally increasing.
Many gamblers around who were enjoying the fun couldn't help but marvel when they saw a blind man winning consecutively. Some people even suspected that Yixiao was a shill specially hired by the casino.
Yixiao himself seemed to be in high spirits and seemed to want to gamble for a while longer. However, the dealer had some difficulties.
Originally, the dealer was very willing to receive a blind customer. Because the dealer's income is also linked to the chips he earns, a blind person cannot know how much he should draw, so the dealer can give him fewer chips, which means he can make more money.
However, when Yixiao was so lucky that he almost won the bet this time, things began to change. The number of winnings with a smile will start to make the casino lose money. As a result, the dealer's income will also decrease, and even his salary will be deducted. Wage deductions are not the most important thing. The boss behind the casino, Marcello, is a thug who eats people without spitting out their bones. If the compensation is too much, he may even lose his life.
"Damn it, how could this blind man be so lucky..." The croupier thought as he continued to induce a smile and continue placing bets.
He smiled and said: "Sir, you are so lucky. If you come back a few times, you will make a lot of money!"
It seems that he was indeed influenced by the dealer. This time, Yixiao launched an unprecedented number of chips - basically only the number he brought in at the beginning was left, and all the chips earned later were used. He still said very calmly: "Press them all!"
