Chapter 149 A Game- Who Won And Who Lost (Part Two) (1/2)
Shirley knew nothing about gambling, but she could guess based on Steven's and Molly's expressions that the game was not going in their favor.
”Excuse me, hit or stay?” the croupier asked after waiting for three minutes as per the rules.
Steven looked at Shane's calm demeanor, gritted his teeth and said,”Hit, for the second pair.”
Since the first pair made 16 and the third pair made 20, even if the second pair exceeded 21, he would still have a chance to beat the dealer and win the game.
With his gloved hand, the croupier dealt another card and turned it over near the second pair of cards. Steven and Molly had their hearts in their mouths, breathlessly staring at the card which was about to be revealed.
Steven's eyes lighted up as soon as he saw the 5 facing him. Steven instantly beamed, which vividly demonstrated the mentality of a gambler finding an escape in desperate circumstances.
”Excuse me, hit or stay?” the croupier asked him again.
Steven shook his head and said with a smile,”Stay!”
Then he looked at Shane who was ready to continue the game.
Shane looked calmly at Steven. Although he remained silent, his presence was a little nerve wracking.
The croupier then dealt three cards in succession. They were 2, 2 and 6. And now, the sum of the dealer's cards had reached 20.
Steven looked at Shane's cards tensely. Shane would not be able to beat him unless the card that had been placed face down in the beginning was an A. If it was any other card, the sum would exceed 21.
