The Gambler Novels & Stories

"He showed up at my family's casino out of nowhere and beat me, I mean completely crushed me. His gambling skills? Insane. I had no choice but to bow down." Mark gasped. "You're saying that guy from Millers Casino previously, that remarkable young gambler, he's your friend?" He'd heard whispers of that gambler, especially the story of using cards like weapons. “Exactly!" Desmond said with a proud grin. "After he mopped the floor with me, we became friends. He knows Epic, and once I'm good enough, he's gonna introduce us." His face practically glowed with excitement. “I don't buy it, unless you call your friend and have him come over," Mark challenged, looking unconvinced.

“An idiot with a problem. If he doesn’t pay today, then he’s a dead idiot and won’t be my problem anymore.” Jerry Harrison is everything wrong with the world—drugs (not purchased by us, because he wouldn’t be able to afford a fraction of them), booze, and a good dose of gambling. Last night, he decided my casino was the place to test his luck and my patience and not the first time either apparently. Ran up a tab he couldn’t pay. Thought he could walk out of here smiling. CCTV never lies, and my patience disagrees. Smug bastard right now—but not for long. Definitely not for long.

I turned my eyes into slits to him. "Y-You know! It's not bad that you'll do the part of ending up with Aspen instead of me," I said with a fake smile, avoiding his eyes. I sounded so weird but I don't want to meddle up with Aspen anymore. Mezakiel stirred his juice drink. "If you'll listen to yourself clearly, I'm certain that you'll even shut your mouth for days." I widened my eyes on him but he still leaned his head on his hand. "Miss Karin Ruiz, there are no rules in the gambling that the main player shall do all the process to win.

she stuttered? “You're not getting a dime from me if you don't tell me what's going on” I growled as she stared at me for a while. “I'm a gambler, I gambled and lost and ran off, but now they're back, and they want their money, or I might risk losing everything and everyone I know” “You're a gambler”

I said to Tiny. "Yep, this is where we make magic. This place is under the cop's radar and a safe place for people like us." Tiny smiled and winked at me. Some gamblers play cards and different types of games. It's not just a game of money or a priceless possession. It's a game where you bet your life on it. I was startled when I heard a gunshot coming from behind. One of the players was shot in the head after losing a bet on a card game.

I lost it too long ago. “Please—” I pulled the trigger and watched the light leave his eyes. His body dropped to the ground like a sack of tomatoes. Blood splattered onto the creaking, rusty floor of his crappy as fuck house. I could practically smell the stench of his poverty. This was what gambling did to you. It eats you up from the inside-out and leaves you a shell, a hollow of yourself. Worst of all, you can't stop either. The devil would always be on your shoulders, whispering sweet promises of double abundance. Urging you to take that risk and when you do, he’d leave you alone, crackling in laughter as you fall deeper and deeper into the dark hole of despair.

one of the lackeys greeted him, stepping back with a bow. Sylvester's eyes scanned the room with a predatory gleam in his eyes. "Who's betting with me tonight?" he asked, already settling into his seat, ever the confident gambler. A murmur went through the crowd as an elderly man was pointed out. He was an aged man who must have spent his entire life gambling, a notorious gambler by the looks. "I go by the name Casio, the unbeatable poker face." The man said with a wicked grin. Sylvester led out a loud chuckle, underrating the old man already.

Bruno brought out a stick of cigarette, which he lit immediately, handing it over to Corbin who took it from him, placing it between his lips "Who's your best card player here?"
