Chapter 522 under the sign

"Qin Feng, that person is Sigmund..."

While waiting to enter the arena, Chen Shihao pointed to a western man in his early thirties, and said to Qin Feng: "It seems that he doesn't belong to any force."

In order to ensure victory in the finals, the major powers generally would not use their trump cards in the knockout rounds of the main match. Sigmund himself went into battle, which showed that he was not a player trained by any power.

"Except for his bright eyes, he doesn't see anything special..."

Qin Feng glanced in the direction of Chen Shihao's finger, and found that the New Zealander named Sigmont, who was 31 years old, was wearing a well-fitting suit.

The Sigmontese are quite energetic, but when thrown on the road, they are no different from ordinary people. Except for Qin Feng, no one can guess that he used the probability to calculate the winning cards.

"Sigmund entered the main match with an undefeated record in the knockout round. He is considered a seed player. I hope you don't run into him..."

Looking at Sigmund, Chen Shihao clasped his hands in front of his chest with some superstition. Many people knew that he was a Buddhist, and he even went to Thailand to worship the White Dragon King as his teacher.

"Seed player? What do you mean?"

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled, "Since when did card gambling be included in sports competitions, and what kind of seeded players are there?"

"Of course the seed players will be selected..."

Chen Shihao said disapprovingly: "Otherwise, if all the people with good gambling skills are assigned to the same gaming table, wouldn't it be impossible to show the highest level of this gambling king competition?"

It turned out that in order to prevent some players with high world rankings or high rankings in the knockout round from meeting in the first round of the main match, the organizers borrowed some methods from sports events and used their scores and previous records to divide 100 players. Multiple seeds.

These more than 100 seed players are assigned to compete on more than 100 gaming tables. In this way, it is possible to ensure that those players with good gambling skills can enter the real finals to the greatest extent.

Of course, it is very common for seeded players to capsize in the gutter, but the top [-] players in the world basically have no accidents, and they will all enter the final stage safely.

"Henry's performance in the knockout round was mediocre, so I'm afraid he can't be listed as a seeded player."

Looking at the contestants entering the arena ahead, Chen Shihao said: "Brother, only contestants are allowed to enter the arena. I will only be outside to cheer you on later. By the way, if you are too tired, you can apply for a substitution." ..."

According to the regulations of the organizing committee of the competition, in the first round of the main competition, there is a chance for substitutions.

But generally speaking, the contestants will let their assistants finish the first round, because there is only one chance to change players, and there is no need to change them back after the change.

After the first round of competition is over, the finals will be held immediately, and there is no chance to rest at all in the middle, so generally only at the end of the competition, there will be some substitutions.

"Brother Hao, just put your heart in your stomach..."

Qin Feng smiled and shook his head. Seeing that he had reached the entrance, he turned around and said, "I promised you something, and I will definitely do it. You don't have to wait for Henry at the scene, just go back and rest!"

It may be that yesterday's game did consume a lot of energy. Only now did Qin Feng see Henry Wei rushing into the casino, separating from the crowd and squeezing towards himself.

"Okay, I got it, brother, please!" Chen Shihao also saw Henry Wei, nodded to Qin Feng immediately, turned around and waved to Henry Wei.

On the periphery of the competition area, several rows of seats were placed. In addition, the casino also temporarily built a large projection screen. Tourists who are interested in the competition can observe the progress of the competition through the screen.

After sending Qin Feng into the arena, Chen Shihao and Henry Wei sat on the chairs outside. As for Liu Zimo who came with Qin Feng, he received a call from Bai Zhentian and did not follow up with the casino.

"Gentlemen and ladies, I am very glad that all of you are here to participate in the first round of the Gambling King Competition...

This game is about stud, and each table can seat ten people, please come forward and draw a number plate, and the players who have drawn a number plate, please go to the table and take a seat..."

In foreign countries, especially in casinos, it is true that time is money. A gray-haired old gentleman stood on a temporary table with a microphone and said a few words without pain, and then announced the draw start.

Of course, this kind of lottery is carried out after the seed players have been determined, and those seed players, such as Sigmont who Qin Feng just saw, were brought to the corresponding place by the casino staff as soon as they entered the arena. in front of the gaming table.

"It's Stud, so why divide it into three casinos?" After hearing what the host said, Qin Feng looked around.

Every year in the main game of the King of Gambling Contest, you can choose one of the three gambling methods: stud, blackjack and baccarat, and the upper limit of stud is that ten people can play at the same time.

Calculated in this way, 1000 people only need [-] gaming tables.

"There are ten people at a gaming table, and only one person can advance. This kind of game is really cruel!"

Qin Feng shook his head slightly. Judging from this situation, except for the seeded players, the other nine players seemed to be studying with the prince.

"Henry, which table do you think Qin Feng can draw?" Chen Shihao looked nervously at the outside of the field and said to Henry Wei.

"If you are not a seeded player, the situation will be the same at any table you draw..."

Henry Wei had a wry smile on his face, and said, "Danny, I didn't expect the level of the Gambling King Competition to be so high. If the seeded players are all at Sigmund's level, I'm afraid that I will have to die even to enter the main game." With a little luck..."

When Henry Wei followed Ye Han, he was banned from participating in the Gambling King Contest, and he had never been to Las Vegas to watch it live, so he, who is proficient in gambling, actually didn’t really care about the Gambling King Contest in his heart. You can see it.

But after participating in the knockout round, Henry Wei clearly knew how prosperous card gambling is abroad.

Not to mention professional gamblers, even those foreign tourists, all of them seemed to be playing well. There were even [-] or [-] lucky tourists who entered the main game of the Gambling King Contest.

The current Henry Wei no longer dared to underestimate these foreigners. The reason why he came late today was because he had been watching the game videos of those foreigners last night for a whole night.

"Henry, you don't need to belittle yourself. Show your normal level. I think it's not a big problem to win the title of gambling king."

Chen Shihao cheered Henry Wei on. He had been preparing for the Gambling King Competition for a long time, and the title of Gambling King was inevitable, and no mistakes could be tolerated.

"Don't worry, I will do my best, but it also requires Qin Feng to be in the top [-]."

Henry Wei is also an old man who has been in the gambling circle for decades, and he quickly adjusted his state. This gambling is like a martial arts master. First of all, he cannot be weaker than others in terms of momentum.

"Okay, what I want is your words." Chen Shihao nodded, and suddenly said: "Brother Qin is drawing lots, I hope I can draw a lot..."

The good draw that Chen Shihao said meant that there were two unlucky tourists who also entered the main match with a record of unanimous victories. What he hopes most now is that Qin Feng will draw the gambling table where those two people are.

There were five hundred contestants in this venue, but under the orderly arrangement of the casino, the lottery was carried out very quickly, and it was Qin Feng's turn after a few minutes.

"Well, No. [-], Table [-]?" Qin Feng took out a small piece of paper from the cardboard box, on which the words "Table [-], No. [-]" were written in English.

"Sir, please come with me..."

A casino attendant looked at the paper Qin Feng had drawn, and led him to the No.14 gaming table in the first row, and said, "Sir, seat No. [-] is your seat, please take a seat..."

"Ok."

Qin Feng glanced left and right, and found that there were already seven people sitting in front of this gambling table, all of whom were about 30 years old. The person who looked like he was only 24 or [-] years old was Qin Feng himself.

Sitting in the first place was a white man with a high nose bridge and wearing glasses. After squinting at Qin Feng, he muttered, "The threshold for the Gambling King Contest is really getting lower and lower. Anyone can participate..."

Speaking of Qin Feng's current honor, it's really not that good. In order to make his makeup more similar to "Wu Zhe", he even dyed his hair yellow, which looks a bit nondescript.

"Damn it, I'll win all your pants later." Qin Feng cursed inwardly, but pretended not to understand English, and looked around.

"Sigmund is right next door to me? Fortunately, there is no need to touch this math genius."

Qin Feng looked around and found that the New Zealander who had won against Henry Wei was the No. 13 table seed player, and he was wiping his glasses with a glasses cloth.

Although Qin Feng is not afraid of this person who can calculate the probability of cards, it is still difficult to win such a person. He can only win when he relaxes and makes a mistake in his calculation. It will probably take a long time.

"Fortunately, I didn't sit with Sigmund..."

Chen Shihao, who had the same idea as Qin Feng, was sitting on the outside of the venue. When Qin Feng walked towards the No. After sitting down, Chen Shihao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Danny, Qin Feng might as well sit at the No.13 gaming table." After seeing clearly the people sitting at Qin Feng's table, Henry Wei's voice suddenly became bitter.

"why?"

Chen Shihao looked at Henry Wei with some puzzlement, and said, "Henry, there is only one qualifying place for each table, can you guarantee that Qin Feng will win Sigmund steadily?"

"Danny, I can't guarantee that Qin Feng can beat Sigmund."

Looking at the person sitting in the first seat of the No.14 gaming table, Henry Wei said with a wry smile: "But...but I can guarantee that it will be even more difficult for Qin Feng to qualify at the No.14 table. This... This is a sign!"

"What's going on?" Chen Shihao was shocked when he heard the words, and quickly asked: "Who is that foreigner with a big nose? He is the seed player at table No.14?"

"That's right, that man's name is Cleo Washburn..."

The wry smile on Henry Wei's face was even worse, "He won the title of Gambling King five years ago. This man's gambling methods are deceitful and changeable, and he is known as a magician in the gambling world...

In the past few years, Washburn's state has declined somewhat, but the world ranking has always been around the top fifteen, I... I didn't expect him to participate in this competition as someone else's assistant..."

Although Henry Wei didn't come to watch the game of the King of Gamblers, but as a practitioner in the gambling industry, he still pays close attention to the world rankings in the gambling world announced every year.

Four years ago, when Henry Wei accompanied Ye Han to the casino in Las Vegas to gamble, he had a brief encounter with Washburn.

Henry Wei had to admit that he was no weaker than Washburn in other gambling methods such as dice and roulette.

But in gambling, especially stud, he and Washburn were neck and neck. As for who could win, it depended on the performance on the spot and the luck of both parties.

Right now, this person who is enough to be a seed player in the finals actually sits on the gambling table in the knockout round of the main match, which can't help but make Henry Wei startled.

"Danny, I'm afraid that what Washburn represents is the MGM Casino in front of me."

Henry Wei sighed, to let a former gambling king be another person's assistant, I am afraid that only the three major casinos in Las Vegas have such confidence and background.

"Damn, shady, there must be shady!"

Chen Shihao's face showed shock and anger. Although he knew that Qin Feng's gambling skills were not inferior to Henry Wei's, and he had seen Qin Feng play dice and cheat gold flowers with his own eyes, but they were shuffling the cards by hand, and human factors occupied the components very big.

But now the card dealer is used to deal the cards, and the process of shuffling the cards is all in the machine, so in Chen Shihao's mind, Qin Feng's methods are completely useless, and I am afraid that if he meets a master like Washburn again, It's going to be bad luck.

"Damn it, it must be that people from MGM also want to compete for the Ao Island gambling license, and assigned your number plate to this group."

Chen Shihao started cursing, he had high hopes for this Gambling King Competition, but after learning about Washburn's ranking, he was a bit out of control.

In fact, Chen Shihao really wronged the casino, all the lottery was done under the watchful eyes of the public, and Qin Feng could only be blamed for being unlucky, so he won the gambling table where Washburn was.

"Danny, don't worry." Henry Wei thought for a while and said, "If Qin Feng's situation is not good, I will replace him in advance!"

Although Henry Wei knew that Qin Feng's gambling skills were better than his own, but they were all technical, such as stealing cards, changing cards and listening to dice, and these methods were basically not used in this game.

So Henry Wei is not very optimistic about Qin Feng's victory. After all, in this kind of long-term see-saw game, experience and patience are often the most important.

"Henry, are you sure you can beat that Washburn?"

Chen Shihao was taken aback when he heard the words. After seeing Henry Wei's match yesterday, his confidence in his old friend was a little bit lacking.

"Danny, if I don't even have the confidence to win against Washburn, how can I participate in the next final." Chen Shihao's words made Henry Wei smile bitterly. It seemed that his performance yesterday was really disappointing.

However, for the next game, Henry Wei is still very confident. He is on the same level as George, the technical director of Casino Lisboa, and George was ranked sixth in the world last year.

So as long as he doesn't meet that New Zealand math genius who can calculate probabilities, Henry is still somewhat sure that he can win against Washburn, who is about the same level as him.

"That's good, but Henry, I'm afraid this trip will have to work hard for you."

After hearing Henry's words, Chen Shihao breathed a long sigh of relief, and at the same time blamed himself in his heart. He shouldn't have paid him such a high price after seeing Qin Feng's gambling skills before.

"Gentlemen, the game is about to begin."

Just when Chen Shihao was uneasy, five hundred contestants had already sat in their seats, and the entire first floor of the casino became quiet, only the voice of the master of ceremonies echoed.

"Please check your belongings, watches and various electronic devices again, and please take the initiative to hand them over to our staff. If you find out, you will be disqualified from the competition..."

In order to prevent cheating, the organizer stipulates that all contestants are not allowed to wear watches or mobile phones for the competition, because this will affect the fairness of the competition.

You must know that the current electronic equipment is updated very quickly. Last year, some players implanted tiny earphones under the ear cortex.

If it wasn't for a problem with the FM, the high-pitched sound from the earphones made the contestant yell on the spot, and the organizers really couldn't find this kind of equipment.

When the master of ceremonies sounded in the arena, Washburn, who was sitting one seat away from Qin Feng's left, suddenly laughed, and said to Qin Feng mockingly: "Hey, rookie, take off the watch on your hand Well, we all know it's a Rolex..."

"Huh? What did you say? I didn't hear clearly, please say it again..."

Qin Feng just turned his head to Washburn, but he wasn't sure if the foreigner was talking to him, and Qin Feng really was wearing a gold Rolex watch given to him by Chen Shihao.

"Rookie, you can't wear a watch during the game, don't you know that?"

Washburn was a little impatient, and was arranged by the casino to participate in the knockout round of the main match instead of the final. He was already simmering with anger in his heart, how could he give Qin Feng a good look?
"Oh, I forgot to tell Qin Feng that you can't wear a watch during the game."

Chen Shihao, who was outside the arena, heard the voice of the master of ceremonies in the arena, and suddenly jumped up as if his butt was on fire. If Qin Feng was disqualified for this reason, he would really cry to death.

　The fever is gone, but the head is still a little heavy, today is [-] words, tomorrow I will strive for more! ! !
