Chapter 16 14. Became a croupier

A few months later, Da Bin and I went out to dinner one afternoon.The big guest at the dinner table asked me: "Do you want to be a dealer?" I glared at him: "Nonsense, I don't want to run early." He pulled me and said mysteriously: "I didn't treat you as an outsider by letting you be a croupier, but we have to agree that you are not allowed to betray after being a croupier." Seeing that I didn't understand, he explained the game in detail Some tables are just gambling games, and some tables are for tricks, and tricks are usually realized through dealers.The croupier cannot tell these things to outsiders, his mouth must be strict.

After I swore I would not betray him, he took me to meet his uncle, the owner of the casino.The boss has given me a formal appointment by giving me equal attention to kindness and power.Considering that I was appointed as a croupier within a short period of time, it may cause dissatisfaction among other employees, so let me start from the bottom desk, and the salary will increase to 3,500 per month, and the salary will be adjusted every time I change.So I became a "white-collar worker" and could wear a tie. After I became a croupier, I realized how dark the underground casino was back then, and gradually realized how I was cheated by Brother Hai and the others.

At first I worked as a croupier at the dice table.When I was working, I first showed the dice and the cup to the players for inspection, and if there was no objection, I picked it up and shook it up and down; usually after shaking it 5 times, I put the cup on the table and signaled everyone to place a bet; , I will ring the bell to indicate that the buyer is determined to leave the hand, and the player can no longer move the money that has been bet on the table; if everyone has no objection, the cup will be uncovered, and the little girl next to him will make a bet according to the winning or losing situation.

If the dice appear to lean against other dice or overlap together, the round is declared invalid, and players on the field can withdraw their bets, and some casinos do not allow withdrawal. This seems reasonable, but it's actually a lot trickier.Customers are busy checking cups and dice, and can't check anything at all, because there is nothing wrong with it.The trick is in the table, that is to say, the mechanism has been put in when the table is customized.The table is not an ordinary table. There is an ultra-thin strong magnetic induction plate under the table. The dice are specially made. It can be knocked open and smashed for inspection, but no fault can be found.

But that thing is amazing, it can artificially control the "leopard", and it can kill all sizes, of course the size can also be controlled. There is an insignificant person outside the table, who looks like a bystander or a gambler (sometimes standing at a distance), it is likely that this person controls the sensor board, a very small remote control device, specifically those on it How the button is operated, I don't understand now, because they didn't teach me at all. My task is to put the dice cup in the designated position accurately when putting down the dice cup. Disorderly open.If that person hasn't operated yet, I'll open the cup, which is okay.In case he wants to operate, I open the cup and let the players witness the whole process of the dice changing, and the casino will be smashed.Putting down the cup, I will urge everyone to bet money. Players bet money just to control the operation time of the dice person. I have to protect the dice cup to prevent someone from suddenly coming to open it.

But later on, casinos of a certain size generally stopped doing this. In those days, the "industry" was not standardized, and there were many "immoral" casinos. It is not surprising that such a thing happened. Gradually, I became friends with all the croupiers in this field. Each of these guys has some unique skills in their hands, and the dark lights on the field have also become my good buddies. We knew each other at that time. From these people, I learned some things that I didn’t learn from Dabin, and I also met some friends of Dabin who often come to hang out. They taught me without reservation when they were free.

The art of making is ever-changing, and it is always being updated, so you often have to adapt to and learn new art. You never know what new tricks will come out tomorrow. Dabin was my first mentor, he really brought me into the door.The days passed by quickly, and my skills seemed to improve day by day. During these days, I have also seen all kinds of people who came to the casino to make money (all of them were caught, so I can’t say they are experts), and the various ways of making money are unexpected. I have been promoted one by one, and the salary has been improved day by day.I worked hard every day. According to my thinking at the time, after five or six years of work, I could go home and meet my parents.

I dare not spend the money I earn, and save it bit by bit.More than once I dreamed that I went back to my hometown, paid off my debts, and the whole family lived happily together; I always dreamed that my parents were happy to see my success. I'm homesick, but I can only think about it. In 1996, it may be that the umbrella of the casino failed, and the casino moved to Shanghai.When I went to Shanghai, the boss only retained a small number of people, and I became the lucky one. We moved to a high-end residential area in Shanghai. In this casino, I became the main force, and finally became a baccarat dealer.

This is how baccarat was first cheated.If there is nothing wrong with the cards, they can be inspected casually, shuffling, cutting, and cutting are all normal; then the shuffled cards are put into the card last, which is generally transparent, which is convenient for off-site players to supervise.After putting the card into the card tree, push it in with a barrier on the top.In this way, a rectangular transparent box is formed, and there is only one outlet on the outside, which is used for dealers to deal cards, and only one card can be played at a time. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with these, it seems like it's hard to mess with, the problem is the last.The length of the brand last is exactly the same as that of poker, but the height is slightly larger.That thing is very ingeniously made, it's just a little bit taller, but that's enough for the croupiers.After the dealer's and player's cards are dealt, sometimes it is not possible to win or lose with one hand, and it is necessary to make up the cards.At this time, the dealer's fast calculation ability and on-the-spot quick response ability are needed.

When the cards are dealt, the croupier uses one or two fingers to drag the cards out of the card tree. The croupier can see what the card is from the exposed side of the first card, while the players outside can not see.At this time, the dealer can choose whether to keep or deal this card.Generally, when the cards are dealt normally, this card should be kept. If it is a flower card, it is usually dealt directly without keeping it.According to the rules of baccarat, you can continue to make up until the flower is filled, and the remaining cards are weighed by the croupier according to the cards and bets of the dealer and player on the field.If there are fewer players and more dealers, it is hoped that the players will win, and the extra profit will be taken by the casino; on the contrary, if there are fewer dealers and more players, it is hoped that the dealer will have a big card. Whether the cards are good for the house or it is good for the house to replenish the player.

For example, if the banker bets 80,000 and the player bets 40,000, it is beneficial to the casino if the player wins.If the remaining cards are directly replenished to the dealer, if he can make up for death directly, then directly replenish the dealer without hesitation.If it will increase the banker’s points if replenishing it out, the card below will be issued. When the dealer can make up, continue to make up this card. If the dealer’s points will decrease, then you can directly replenish the dealer’s points. If it will increase the points, continue Keep.Replenishment to the player is beneficial to increase the points, so it is necessary to replenish the player; on the contrary, it must be kept and the next card will be issued. Sometimes the winning or losing of both parties is determined by the direct dealing of the cards, which is unavoidable.The main role of the croupier is reflected in the draw, which is all chosen by the croupier according to the bet. Don't underestimate this card, it can often determine life and death.After all, there are not many times when baccarat directly appears 7:6, 8:9, or directly 9.Even if 8 out of 9 is played directly, the other player can still draw a tie by drawing cards. In the specific operation, the technical and psychological quality requirements of the croupier are very high.Every time the cards are dealt, the cut surface on the cards is still very neat. Only when dealing, the croupier has to use his fingers to place the wrong card while dealing. This side is only as thick as a nail. Bian Shun goes out, it is impossible to do it without a little effort.No matter how sharp your eyes are, people outside the field can't tell. The rule of the casino is that no players are allowed behind the croupier. This can be regarded as an international practice, so you are not afraid of being discovered by others when you lift the cards.Even if someone stood behind and looked at it, even if they could see the side of the card showing, they wouldn't think much about it. It takes only a blink of an eye to show the edge, and the croupier must seize this moment.The croupier is the focus of all attention on the field, and he cannot always look down at the cards, so he cannot stare intently, but has to make a sweeping gesture, or use his peripheral vision to see. I finally know how my original money was exported, and I also know how I owed 300,000.At that time, I had this idea: If I meet those Beijing bastards again, I will kill them.I don't know if Kaizi, who lost money with me, also has the urge to kill me.
