A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 764

"You’ve got some nerve!"

Fiman snorted and tapped on the table, signaling the dealer to deal the cards.

Soon, a pile of cards was neatly laid on the green table.

Fiman placed the cards on the long bar and dealt two cards in a row to the players at the table.

He, as the dealer, also dealt himself two cards, one face down and one face up, while the other four players revealed their cards immediately.

Eleanor, holding the rule book, carefully studied it and roughly understood the game.

The rules were simple. In poker, the Ace could be considered 1 point or 11 points, while J, Q, and K were 10 points, and the remaining 2-10 points were the numbers on the cards themselves.

Each player would initially get two cards. If the player's total points were still far from 21, they could continue to ask for cards. When the player's points were close to or reached 21, they could stop asking for cards.

After stopping asking for cards, if the player's points exceeded the dealer's, they would win; otherwise, they would lose. If the points of the player or the dealer exceeded 21, it would be considered a bust, which meant losing.

After understanding the rules, Eleanor glanced at the two cards in front of Bernard.

An Ace and a jack. If he asked for a Q, K, another A, or a 10, he could directly get 21 points.

Even if he got a 9, he could be close to 21 points. As long as the dealer's points didn't exceed his, he might win.

Eleanor side-eyed Bernard, wondering how he got such good cards right off the bat.

Feeling the gaze beside him, Bernard turned his head and intentionally brushed her cheek lightly, saying, "Mrs. Laurence, tell me the rules."

A man who didn't even know the rules dared to bet 2 billion chips. Such audacity! But it was indeed helpful for her deal.

Eleanor immediately closed the rule book and hid it in the gap of the sofa behind her, then began to seriously explain the rules to him.
