Chapter 1000 Blackjack
The gameplay was similar to that in the main hall. Besides Roulette and Baccarat, there was also Blackjack.
Friedman threw a dart at the wall, which landed on a chart labeled “Blackjack,” thus deciding the rules for the first round of play.
The rules for playing Blackjack were similar to that in the maint hall, but the chips used for betting were very different from those in the casino.
“One chip is worth two million. Betting starts now!”
As Friedman tapped his finger on the table, the four players at the gambling table began to push their chips out.
“Two bets, each with ten chips, for a total of 40 million.”
“Three bets, 60 million.”
“Four bets, 80 million.”
The other three people at the gambling table placed their bets and then looked up at the man leaning back on a white
leather sofa chair.
Between James’s slender fingers, there was a coffee-colored
cigar that he hadn’t lit yet. He was just rubbing and fiddling
with it.
Everyone was waiting for him to place the bet, but he was staring at his wife who was sitting next to him without blinking.
The young nobles rolled their eyes when they saw this, thinking: “Why to bother keeping such a close watch on your wife? She won’t run away.”
As the dealer, Friedman tapped on the table and reminded James, “Mr. James, are you in?”
James ignored him and leaned in close to Amelia’s ear, chuckling softly. “Honey, 10 million isn’t even enough for a bet. You’ve already lost before you even start, don’t you think?”
Amelia thought they would place a big bet, but she didn’t
expect it to be this big.
One chip was worth 20 million, and each player was betting bigger than the last. The total amount of bets had skyrocketed from 40 million to 80 million.
Amelia had thought that they would place a bet of about 2 million at most. She didn’t expect that they would gamble on
tens of millions.
She was a bit taken aback, but the dealing hadn’t started yet, and James may not be able to win.
