Calculating the Wager (2)

The result was five rounds: he lost one and won four. In one stroke, the house had paid out eighty thousand Divine Power Points.

Li Yu immediately saw the trick behind it. This Otsutsuki Kazuhiro was no simple man. He had undoubtedly worked out some pattern from it, and even possessed a certain ability to count cards.

"Did you see that? Kazuhiro has already won 1.7 million Divine Power Points from the casino. We can't let him keep going."

"There are plenty of ways to deal with this. Change one deck into four decks, cut them at random after shuffling, then load the cards into a box."

"It's that simple?"

"That's right. That way, customers can't count cards, and the calculations become far more difficult."

"Calculations?"

"You don't need to know about that. Only those with exceptionally powerful minds can do those calculations. This method was only introduced less than half a year ago, precisely to guard against clansmen like this appearing in the future."

"So that's how it is. It seems there was a reason the young master took a liking to you."

"You flatter me."

"What about now?"

"Now it's even easier. Just upgrade the table to two decks of cards."

Sto's Otsutsuki swiftly transmitted his words to Yafei, who stood in the middle. When she looked over in surprise, she also spotted Li Yu standing to the side, and her eyes immediately lit up.

As the dealer, Yafei quickly pulled another new deck from beneath the table and rapidly shuffled it together with the cards already in play. This move immediately made Otsutsuki Kazuhiro frown.

"What is this?"

"My apologies, Young Master Kazuhiro. The casino has added a new rule: multiple decks may be used together to reduce the number of shuffles."

"Young Master, let's keep playing."
