She was the only female on the table, Blakeley stood behind her placing her hands on her shoulders. They all placed a bet with a thousand dollars, and the game started. All players received all their cards face up and the dealer’s first card is face up while the second card is face down. Since they all play against the dealer, the goal of the game is to get closer to 21 than the dealer without going over 21. If a hand goes over 21, it is called a “bust” or “break” and the wager is lost. Everyone started playing and the man opposite Cassie won the first round, he placed a bet again and someone else lost.

He set the cards clockwise facing up on either sides of the table then kept two cards to himself; one facing up and the other down. The dealer had a card value of eighteen. “Why don’t you go first, my lady?” He nodded at me with a smirk. Recalling how the game goes, I played my hand. I dealt a seventeen and lost since the dealer had an higher value. My heart sank with horror in my chest.

“Just deal me three and save some time. Right, no need to deal them face-down. Just show me the cards.” Harvey was indifferent.

"You just have to choose the biggest card among these cards," the dealer looks like opening his five cards. There is a king, queen, warrior, joker and 3 hearts. "How much is this Joker worth?" asked Altair.

A deck of face cards gets distributed evenly among the players. Nobody looks at their cards. Each player places a card in the middle face up in turn. If a Jack is played, the next player has one chance to play a face card or an Ace otherwise the player who laid down the Jack gets the pile. A Queen gives you two chances to get a face card, King three chances, and an Ace four chances. Also, if you slap doubles, you get the pile. “Poker is a lot more fun,” he grumbled.

“There are three cards that signify different meanings. The BLACK card is the most common; it’s the one you get when you get invited to a fight. This BLACK card comes with a written letter, the time, and the location for your pickup, and at that exact time, you’ll be brought to the fighting ring where you’ll fight until one of you dies. After this fight, the sum of 50 million dollars is given to the winner in cash, alongside 50 investors’ 1-kilogram gold bar, which weighs about 32.15 troy ounces, with an approximate value of $130,000 - $140,000.” “The RED card.

I asked setting the next four cards down so he could see them. “Yes, and depending on the game, each card is assigned a value.

He laughed with me, taking my hand and kissing it. “I won't go down without a

“She was very cautious in the first four rounds and only dared to lose 150 grand each time. This time, she has the guts to bet 115 million, so she must have a high chance of winning. Among the five community cards are the red jack of hearts, the ten of hearts, and the ace of hearts. Could it be a royal flush?” “How is that possible?
