Chapter 595
James was happily engrossed in a game of Taxus Poker at an illegal casino that evening. Beside him sat a young lady with short hair who was dressed in revealing attire. Judging from the casino
chips on the table, it looked like they had been winning a lot.
“I have a pair of Queens. Show your hand!” A man with a hooked nose who sat opposite James
revealed his hand
“You dare challenge me with just à pair of Queens? Keep your eyes open, buddy. I’ve got Three of a Kind James grinned, flipping his cards over to show a pair of sixes. Since there was a six in one
of the five community cards, they made a set of three sixes, also known as three of a kind.
The rules of Taxus Poker are simple. There were five community cards, and each player was dealt two hole cards. These can then be combined in any way to form the best five–card hand. The
highest–ranking hand is a Royal Flush, followed by Four of a Kind, Full House, Flush, Three of a
Kind, Two Pair, One Pair, and finally, a High Card.
*James, you’ve won again! You’re amazing!” The lady with short hair cheered excitedly, admiration evident in her eyes.
Hahaha! Well, luck isn’t the only factor in a game of Taxus Poker. It’s a matter of skill too. I can
see through all his tricks! There’s no way I’d lose to him!” James bragged gleefully.
“I say, based on your chips, you’ve probably won at least a million dollars, haven’t you, James?”
The young lady asked as her eyes shone brightly.
“More or less. Here, this is for you.” James pressed a chip worth 20 thousand dollars into her hand
with a chuckle.
“Thank you, James!” The young lady flashed him a radiant smile before planting a kiss on his
cheek
“Come on, let’s go enjoy ourselves!” James reached out to hook an arm around the lady’s neck. He was happy with how much he’d won and was ready to leave to enjoy the rest of the night.
“You have a winning streak tonight, James. Why don’t you play some more while you’re winning?
It’s a good opportunity for you to make some more money while Lady Luck is on your side!” The young lady did not seem to want to leave yet.
“Oi, rascal! Are you running off after winning just so little? What a loser! Would you dare play another game with me?” The man with the hooked nose who sat opposite James taunted.
