gambler at the gambling board
“okay. Long time no see.”
As expected, I ran into her as soon as I entered the casino.
“Why haven’t you been here before!”
“I’ve been busy with work lately.”
Even though we haven’t seen each other in a long time, Joanne is flirting without any sense of distance.
“How have you been?”
“I was always the same as usual.”
“I mean, every day wasted on gambling.”
“haha···.”
She didn’t deny my words and only let out a sad laugh.
This is enough to admire how wonderful it is.
Do you have enough money to consistently attend the casino even if you lose money every day?
He said he was a doctor by profession, and the salary seems to be quite good.
“Then what happened to the casino today, Mr. Lupin? The last time we parted, he said as if he would never come again.”
“Hmm. But unexpectedly, I thought about it again.”
“Is that so!? In fact, that’s how I started.”
I mean, don’t agree with this statement. She recounted how she became addicted to gambling.
“At first, I didn’t even think about casinos, I just started lightly with horse racing…”
No, I don’t need to tell you.
By some chance, I heard from the side of her life history mixed with sighs.
“So, in conclusion, life is a one-shot.”
“Why does the story end like that?”
“Even if you hit the jackpot once, it will be restored immediately.”
okay. I understand that his brain has already been damaged to such an extent that it cannot be regenerated.
He’s completely addicted to gambling, so normal thinking is impossible.
“The fact that Lupin also visited the casino again after all means that you can’t forget the taste of money at that time, right?”
“Nothing. I came here to relieve stress by playing games rather than winning money.”
“Everyone says that at first. After all, the reason the game is fun is because the stakes are at stake. It’s not even exciting without the thrill of having money at stake.”
What she said is true. In fact, the reason why people become addicted to gambling is the thrill and pleasure that the adrenaline that comes out of extreme situations and the dopamine that comes with winning money. If you experience it even once, you will feel that the small daily life is too trivial.
“Did you forget the last four cards?”
“Hmm.”
But I was an exception.
In the end, the reason I become addicted to gambling is because of the thrill that I can’t feel in everyday life and the dream of turning my life around, both of which do not apply to me.
Stealing is far more thrilling than sitting at a table and playing cards. Even if you win money, you don’t get too much excitement because you steal expensive jewels that look cute on the gambling board.
Then all that remains is the pure fun of the game.
That alone can’t ruin your life because you’re crazy about gambling.
“I’m sure it would be fun to draw four cards again.”
This was all my impressions were.
“Even if you pretend to be so relaxed now, wouldn’t it be different when you sit down at the table? I thought so too at first.”
Isn’t this almost the level of cursing someone to become addicted to gambling?
Anyway, we naturally went to the poker table.
“Five. You’re back, ma’am? Before, he was bragging and acting like he was going out right away.”
“Who is an aunt? and when did i You said you were just coming from outside to get some fresh air!”
“yes. I hit it like that. But who is next to you? I don’t think it’s my husband.”
Then Joanne introduced me as if she had brought a strong older brother and brags about it.
“My friend! You should be worried about your wallet because your skills are amazing.”
“haha. I think the gentleman over there should be concerned about the wallet. Just by looking at you, you seem quite relaxed.”
“I beg you.”
He sat down at the table without saying a lot.

My goal in coming to the casino is not to win money. is to build relationships.
Even with the upper class, not ordinary people.
There are people who say that you shouldn’t judge by appearance alone, but no one seems to meet my criteria in this place.
Then you don’t even need to try to make friends.
All you have to do is wait until you meet the upper class while getting along in moderation.
“great. Then, let’s see what the new player’s skills are.”
The game started. This time Joanne also sat next to me and joined the game.
Actually, I wasn’t particularly good at it.
No matter where you are in gambling, psychological warfare and numbers battles are not something everyone can do.
Right now, Joanne and most of this place are addicted to the point that they only ate and gambled. Of course, compared to me, who barely knew the basic rules, I must say that I have a far superior edge.
But it didn’t matter.
In the end, the most important thing in gambling is luck, no matter what anyone says.
Because the element of luck that only God can control was the most important.
About 30 minutes after sitting at the table.
The man opposite him jumped up from his seat in a completely different state from the first time.
His bright red face looked like he couldn’t control his excitement no matter who saw him.
“This is a scam! You must be cheating!”
The finger he was pointing at was definitely pointing at me.
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“Don’t take the shichimi! Does it make sense to say that I played a few games and never lost money!?”
“The money is lost. I just picked it up and filled it up later.”
“It doesn’t make sense! How can you completely know the status of your hand and make a stop-loss right away!”
As he said, I had an overwhelming amount of money swept from the table.
It doesn’t mean that you win the game just because you’ve got a crazy hand. It’s just that the stakes are accumulated considerably in the game to be won, while the one with a poor hand will die like a sword, so there is little to no damage.
I replied with a smile on purpose to make the other person more angry.
“What would you do? My skills are good.”
“Hey, that crazy bastard…!”
“If you feel that way, file a formal complaint with the dealer. It won’t change anything if you’re just swearing.”
The opponent was about to collapse from high blood pressure.
This is more fun than I thought.
In fact, there was another reason for me to be vicious at making fun of my opponent.
The dealer officially responded to the bystanders who had gathered around him with a puzzled expression.
“No cheating has been found in the games played so far.”
At the same time, there were shouts everywhere.
If you listen carefully, you can catch a glimpse of what they are saying.
“Does that make sense?”
“But I think I’ve seen him somewhere.”
“Ah, that person back then! That gambler gentleman!”
“Is that the guy who floated the four cards last time?”
okay. I was just looking for this
It was to make a fuss on purpose, to focus the attention of the entire casino, and to clearly imprint my presence.
Now everyone who didn’t see me that day would have been interested in me.
If you watch the game from the side, you will naturally be convinced that I am a gambler.
Naturally, there will be more people approaching me for any purpose, and among them there will be upper classes who come with interest.
Thanks to this, the table quickly turned into new faces.
Those who have lost all their money to me get up with a blank expression, and those who have heard the rumors will replace them.
Joan, who was already sitting next to me, was also looking at me with a blank slate after squeezing the money.
“Wow···.”
“He won again.”
“Isn’t it really a trick?”
“How are people looking at you like this?”
Even if you look for a hundred days, you will never find anything strange.
Because I didn’t really cheat in the first place.
what can i do
If they twist, they too will be pleased by the goddess of fortune.
Anyway, in a gamble where luck is more important than anything else, I have no choice but to win.
But I don’t really have a bite.
All the people sitting at the table see only the same nerdy guys as before.
In the first place, this may be because it is a regular casino where anyone can enter if they pay money.
There is a high probability that the upper-class people I really want are playing in a luxurious casino that can only be entered if they meet strict qualifications.
Should I give up making connections here?
Or do you sit down completely and build a gambler reputation and enter the casino through it? I think it will take quite a while to get there.
By the way, where did this woman go? Obviously, Joanne, who had been watching from the side until a while ago, was nowhere to be seen at some point, so I looked around and looked for her.
Then, a little further away, I found a middle-aged man who came out of the boat and Joanne, who enjoyed chatting hahaha.
But who is that man?
As soon as they had doubts, the two approached this way.
Then Joan introduces me to the man next to me.
“This is a hot gambler gentleman right now.”
“Ohh. indeed.”
“Mr. Lupin! This is Gilbert Grace, my hospital VIP customer.”
“nice to see you.”
I was convinced as soon as I heard his name.
That this man is the key to the upper-class connections I was looking for.
