Chapter 310
After a while, Sienna brought out the poker cards, and at the same time, the staff that went to exchange chips also returned with a cart.
Rhys sat across Kingsley, tidied up his clothes, and waved at her excitedly. “Come, Sienna. Explain the rules of the Three Card Poker to Mr. Nicholson!”
Then, she began to explain while shuffling the cards skillfully. “In Three Card Poker, each person is dealt three cards, and the dealer will start the bet while the other person can choose to call, raise, or fold.
The strength of the cards, from small to big, were Jaguar, Straight Flush, Flush, Straight, Pair, and Single. In Singles, Ace is the largest card.”
Kingsley nodded, pretending that this was the first time he had heard all these. “I see. So, the biggest card in the whole deck is three aces?”
“That’s right! Mr. Nicholson, you’re so smart!” Rhys laughed aloud. “Who knows, you might get those three aces tonight!”
Although he kept singing praises, he had another thought in mind. Does he want to draw three aces? In his dreams! I have been around casinos of all sizes for over ten years, and I have only seen three aces once! This Kingsley lad is out of luck today. He might not even get a straight!
At that thought, Rhys rubbed his hands and spoke respectfully to Kingsley, “What do you think? Mr. Nicholson, are you ready? If you are, why not get Sienna to start dealing?”
Kingsley nodded nonchalantly. “Sure.”
As soon as he said that, Sienna’s fair, elegant hands began to shuffle the cards quickly.
Shuffle! Shuffle!
Her actions were skillful, so everyone knew that she was a professionally trained dealer with just a glance.
A deck of 52 playing cards flew around in her hands like gravity didn’t matter, as none of them fell. Then, as if the cards had minds of their own, they fluttered before Kingsley and Rhys.
They fluttered to the table lightly without making a sound.
Kingsley looked at the three neatly arranged cards in front of him and clapped his hands lightly. “Beautifully done!”
Sienna smiled charmingly as she curtseyed. “Thank you, Mr. Nicholson.”
At the sight of her charming appearance, most men in the crowd had their eyes fixated on her.
On the other hand, Paige rolled her eyes. For some reason, there was a burst of inexplicable annoyance at the bottom of her heart.
When Rhys noticed the displeasure on her face, he began to fear that something terrible might happen, so he quickly turned to Kingsley and said respectfully, “Mr. Nicholson, for the first round, why don’t you be the dealer?”
“Then, can I look at my cards?” Kingsley pretended to act clueless. “I don’t know the rules very well.”
“Yes, of course,” Rhys nodded and said. “Let’s not make it hard. You can see any cards you want and bet anyhow you want!”
As he said that, he dragged a cart full of chips from the side.
“This is five million chips I took from the casino in advance. If these chips aren’t enough, then we’ll open up the game to the public! I hope you’ll go easy on me later, Mr. Nicholson.”
In Sunshine Casino, Rhys’ status was second to the big boss. So, it was effortless for him to borrow chips from the venue.
Moreover, he was confident that he could pay it back immediately. From the way he saw it, the 10 million on Kingsley’s cart would soon belong to him!
Kingsley smiled. “If that’s the case, I won’t see my cards for now.”
As soon as he said that, he picked up a tray full of chips from the cart. “There should be about a million in this tray, right? I’ll bet a million!”
Gasp…
Everyone sucked in a deep breath after hearing that he would bet a million.
Nevertheless, at this point, they weren’t as shocked as before; they were basically immune to his flashy actions.
“Mr. Nicholson, you’re really generous with your money!” Rhys was secretly delighted. “As for me, I have to be careful with my small amount of money. Let me take a look at my cards first…”
As he talked, he took a peep at his cards and looked up to glance at Sienna.
She gave him a discrete nod seamlessly.
The meaning was obvious; she was telling him to play with confidence!
Her acrobatic shuffling technique just now was just a flashy way to cover up the fact that she was secretly cheating. Because of her superb skills, it flawlessly covered up her actions.
Unfortunately, Kingsley had noticed all of that!
That was why he praised her with a smile just now as it was beautifully done!
Rhys got the hint, and that gave him a boost in confidence. So, he picked up the card and took a look.
Four, five, six! A straight!
