Chapter 76 Casino In Dawn Creed City (Part II)
The wheel had begun to spin, "Now that I think about aren't you supposed to be in an exam? I heard that the students here would hunt some monsters to clear the forest." Shelly asked, wondering what I was doing here.
"The exam will end tomorrow, and I'm pretty confident I would place high." The wheel had stopped at black 15, meaning that I had lost.
Shelly had some by putting some of her chips on odd. I had 13 more chips and decided to put three chips into the same bet.
"Is that so? When I did my first test in the wild, I got pretty high on my test." It may sound like she liked the results, but I could feel she was bitter about it.
It felt weird if I asked if that bothered her. I didn't know her, so I stopped myself from asking. It was pretty silent after she said that. She probably had realized what she had done.
The wheels started to move after everyone had made a bet. All of us were staring at the ball, seeing where it would land. Landing on red 23, I had earned nine chips giving me 22 chips. I had more or less doubled my initial bet.
"Shelly, it was meeting you was nice, but I'm going to find something else to bet on." I got pretty bored with the roulette. It was the same over and over without giving me any excitement. She nodded and gave me a silent goodbye.
I wandered around and searched for another type of game to choose from. The man from earlier left and began to follow me. I didn't know what I did to make him do that, but my dislike toward him grew.
Should I try poker? Or do I pick blackjack? Blackjack seemed a bit too simple for my taste. Checking around, I found a table with eight players playing the game. This was a two-hand poker that had five community cards. A pretty classic one.
Joining in, the match had already begun. This table was people someone who used the bare minimum amount of chips. The small blind would need to give one chip as starting while the big blind would need two chips.
There were only two people that were still in the game. Everyone had already folded their cards and watched them compete for the pot.
Three cards were already shown, with the fourth and fifth being next. "I raise 10!" The woman in blue who was competing said. Pushing ten of her chips into the pot.
"Check!" The man in black handed his ten chips, saying that.
The two remaining cards were shown, and both had shown their cards. The man in black had won about 35 chips because he had a three-of-a-kind in queens. In comparison, the women had two pairs.
I was big blind since I had joined at the wrong time. Handing two chips out, I looked at my cards. My luck was pretty bad. The cards that I got were a clover 2 and 7 hearts. Everyone that had decent cards had put two chips.
"Check!" I told the dealer I already had two chips on the pot. The dealer then put out three community cards. The first card was a queen of hearts. After a clover jack and a heart three, three people had increased the bid while the rest withdrew their hands. Seeing that I had nothing, I returned my cards to the dealer.
Playing a few more rounds, I found that poker wasn't my game. I only lost three chips in the process, and my hands weren't excellent for me to keep bidding. It was a good thing that I never increased my bid. Otherwise, I would have lost.
Having to start a new round, two new card pairs went into my hand. I had two kings. One was spades, while the other was a diamond one.
This was finally my chance to win! I internally told myself that. With most people here placing two chips, I have begun to give my two pieces of chips. Three cards were shown, surprisingly there was a king shown, it was a king of clovers, and the other two were an ace diamond and a six of hearts.
Three people had stayed in after seeing the cards. The pot was 20 chips with us increasing it. I then increased the number of chips by three. The remaining three had also chipped in their amount.
Now there were 32 chips, and the two remaining cards were shown. It was another six that was spade and a ten of hearts.
This was the final part before we decided who was going to win. The three people who remained in this battle had all been checked. I was confident about winning, so I drew five chips and put them in.
One of them withdrew their cards, seeing that I was confident. What a pussy he made it this far and couldn't even end it. The remaining two had sent five, making 47 chips in the pot. The guy who followed me had spent his very last chip in. Was he trying to impress me?
Showing our hands, one of the women who I saw won last time remained had a pair of aces as her final hand, not enough to beat me. The man following me had a straight. He wasn't so straight if he went for me.
Seeing that I had won, the 47 chips went to me. Now I had 67 chips on me. I had earned more than six times my amount started.
Going to the counter, I prepared to withdraw all the chips that I had earned. "Please touch this crystal to confirm that you didn't have any way of cheating." They had things like this? Why didn't they do this when I entered? Touching the crystal, nothing had happened.
The guy who managed the chips gave me 60 gold coins. So the casino took 10% of our numbers earned? "Why don't you people use this right when we enter the casino?" I asked out of curiosity.
"So when they withdraw the money, we keep them." He snickered at them, seeing that they got the cheater's money. That was pretty smart, they would gain money for people who cheated in the casino, and it was not they could escape without being a criminal.
Having to get all of my cash, I left the casino.
