1990s Hong Kong: Waking Up as the Kidnapped Tycoon's Sister-in-Law

Chen Rou first meets Nie Zhao because of an anti-terrorism case involving Hong Kong's wealthy elite. He is the richest man in Hong Kong for many years, and a renowned powerful figure. Even thou...

Chapter 543 No, she's here to catch the con artist!

While washing the cards, she said, "The playing cards in the casino are all imported from the United States, and they are the best quality playing cards currently on the market. The packaging shows the time of release. Regardless of whether the deck has been used or not, it will be sent to a special destruction center for unified destruction after 8 hours. So it's impossible to cheat by taking the cards."

In Macau, watching the dealers shuffle the cards is also a unique sight.

Of course, there are double-insertion method, triple-insertion method, and even five-finger rotating flower-insertion shuffling method, and so on.

Chen Rou is now using fancy shuffling techniques. So, is there some secret behind shuffling, which seems like a simple action?

Nie Jiayu had a gut feeling that it was there, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it yet. But then he remembered what his mother had said: everything has its own rules.

The real secret to gambling lies in following a certain pattern.

Sure enough, Chen Rou shuffled the cards as she spoke. After she finished speaking, she stopped shuffling and said, "Using the shuffling method I just used, as long as I shuffle 52 times, the order of this deck will be restored to its factory state."

After saying that, she looked at Chen Jinbao again: "Little Chen, am I right?"

Chen Jinbao didn't say anything, but he was frantically memorizing the information, as were the other three gamblers.

And it is actually the key to winning at Texas Hold'em.

A deck of cards, if shuffled a sufficient number of times using a specific method, will eventually return to its original sequence.

Chen Rou only learned about this knowledge point after reading the manual.

Do you think the dealer shuffling the cards is random and unpredictable? No, it isn't.

If the dealer knows how to shuffle the cards back to their original order, then he can know what each card is. Therefore, when dealing the cards, as long as the dealer is determined, he can control who wins or loses.

In other words, from the very beginning, the dealer, along with the bespectacled guy and the blond guy, were setting a trap for Chen Rou, dealing her cards that were designed to ensure her defeat.

Of course, that scheme was orchestrated by the second wife of the Wen family, and what they relied on was the knowledge point that Chen Rou had just mentioned.

However, apart from the dealer, the guy with glasses, and Hu Xiaotian, no one else knew.

But now, Chen Rou has directly exposed their cheating methods, revealing this long-secret cheating technique. Afterwards, the casino will fix the loopholes, and then they can forget about cheating.

At this moment, Chen Rou held a hand of cards, and with a flourish of her fingers, she began dealing the cards again.

The first card was still sent to the blond guy, then to the bespectacled guy, the other two gamblers, and then to her.

She dealt the cards again as before, and then, a miracle happened.

The cards in this deck are exactly the same as the ones the dealer just dealt her.

Once the cards are dealt, the entire cheating process is exposed and laid bare for everyone to see.

As she played the remaining cards, Chen Rou turned around, looked at the man with glasses again, and said, "Sir, did you see clearly? You were cheating just now."

She gently picked up another card, and with a snap, it brushed past the bespectacled man's ear. She turned back and smiled, then said, "The casino rules state that anyone who cheats in the casino will have both legs chopped off from the knees down."

Dressed in a black dress and adorned with jewels, she approached the bespectacled man with a smile and asked, "Tell me, should I report you?"

...

Not only was Glasses Guy dumbfounded, but Hu Xiaotian and Wen's second wife on the other side of the screen also gasped.

Ever since Chen Rou entered the casino, everyone assumed she was there to gamble and win money.

It turned out she was there to catch a con artist!
