Biography of Wang Pi (ZS18)

[General on the southern border during the final years of Northern Wei, then served under Yuwen Tai as commander of the important fortress of Huazhou.]

Wang Pi, courtesy name Xiongpi, was a native of Bacheng in Jingzhao. He was a descendant of Han's Governor of Henan, Wang Zun. For generations his family was among the province and commandery's distinguished clans. Pi was unyielding, straight, and strong as wood, and he judged people fair and equally. The province and commandery respected and flinched away from him.

Middle of Wei's Taihe [477 – 499], he was appointed General Within the Halls. Before this, the Di and Qiang from Nanqi# and Dongyi turned to rebellion, and the imperial host fought unsuccessfully. They therefore ordered Pi to lead 5 000 of the Feathered Forest to garrison Liang# province, and chastise and pacify the various traitors. When he came back, he was granted General of the Right and Interior Clerk of Xihe. He turned it down and did not serve. At the time people spoke to him, saying:

Xihe is a big country, the salary and beneficence rich and lavish. Why are you turning it down?

Pi said:

The capital on the Luo is a lumber forest extending beyond Xihe. The court nobles who built mansions and residences have all sought sought pardons[?]. If they are handling it privately, the strength for it is inadequate. Suppose ordnances are issued out among the people, they will also defy the laws and statutes. It was due to this I declined, and that is all.

Liang's general Cao Yizong besieged Jing province [in 528 AD]. Directed Pi, together with the Detached Commander Pei Yan to lead troops and proceed to the rescue. Thereupon he fought with the people of Liang, and greatly routed them. At the time the cauldrons were boiling over in various regions, and those places withered and decayed. Jing province had newly passed through difficulties with bandits, and particularly depended on comforting and consoling. Used Pi as Inspector of Jing province, and advanced his title to General who Consoles the Army.

Liang again dispatched Jia Yizong with a multitude of several ten thousand to besiege Jing province. He dammed the river to flood the city, that which did not sink was several planks [high?]. At the time then inside and outside there was much worrying, and there was not yet time to spare for rescue and aid. They therefore ignored Pi's iron bond, and stated that for the city to be kept whole it had to be given to the original province Inspector. Within the city, provisions were exhausted. Pi cooked congee and divided it equally with the generals and soldiers, and ate it. Every time he set out to fight, he did not put on armour and helmet, but with a great shout said:

Jing province's city was set up by the Filial and Civil August Emperor. If Heaven does not support the house of state, it will cause the traitors' arrows to hit Wang Pi. If they do not, Wang Pi will rout the traitors.

He again and again went through battles in the battle line, and also was never wounded. Fully three years went past, and just then did Yizong withdraw.

He advanced in fief to Duke of Bacheng county. Soon after he moved the Great General of Chariots and Cavalry and Inspector of Jing# province. He had not yet reached his division, when during Taizu's raising up of campaigning troops to be diligent for the ruler, he requested the vanguard and offered up his life. Thereupon he became Great Chief Controller, garrisoning Hua province.

When Xiaowu of Wei moved west, he was designated Great General of Agile Cavalry, and in addition Attendant-at-Centre and Opening Office. He attempted to repair the provincial city but was not yet finished, and the ladders were outside. Shenwu of Qi dispatched Han Gui and Sima Ziru to make a night crossing from east of the He, and assault Pi, and Pi was not aware of it. By daybreak, Gui's multitudes had already climbed the ladders and entered the walls [or “city”]. Pi was still lying down and had not yet risen when he heard from close up [?] outside sounds of cries and clamour. He promptly, naked body, open topknot, and walking bare footed, grasped a white staff, made a great shout and set out. The enemy were surprised by him, and thereupon he reached the eastern gate. Left and right bit by bit assembled and joined the battle, and they routed them. Gui's multitudes thereupon jumped from the walls and escaped and fled.

At the time in Guanzhong there was great hunger, and they levied and taxed the people for grain and food to provide for army consumption. Sometimes those who concealed and hid away were made to successively report on each other, and many were caned and beaten, and due to that people were fleeing and scattering. Only Pi trusted and divulged to people, and did not have those who concealed. The grain he obtained was not the least among the various provinces, and yet there was no resentment or denunciations.

During the campaign of Shayuan [in 537 AD], Shenwu of Qi's solders and horses were extremely flourishing. Taizu, since Hua province was a strategic thoroughfare, dispatched messengers reassure Pi, and make him increase defensive preparations. Pi told the messenger, saying:

[While] the Old Bear is sleeping on the road, how will the Little Badger get to pass!

Taizu heard and was heartened [?] by it.

[Wang Pi's personal name 羆 literally means “bear”, while Gao Huan's, 歡, is a homophone of 貆, “badger”.]

When Shenwu of Qi arrived beneath the walls, he spoke to Pi, saying:

Why not surrender early?

Pi then with a great shout said:

This city is Wang Pi's burial mound, he will live and die at this place. Come, those who wish to die.

Shenwu of Qi consequently did not dare to attack.

At the time the Ruru crossed south of the He to rob [in 540 AD?], and scout cavalry had already reached Bin province, the imperial court was worried about their deep penetration. They therefore summoned and issued out soldiers and horses to stay and defend the imperial city, and dug moats in the various streets and lanes to prepare for intrusive raids. The Archer-Servant of the Left, Zhou Huida summoned Pi to discuss with him. Pi did not respond to the instructions, but spoke to his messenger, saying:

If the Ruru arrive north of the Wei, Wang Pi will lead his home village to rout them himself, and not trouble the troops and horses of the house of state. Who is it within the Son of Heaven's city who carried out devising skittish actions like this. It was the Zhou family's young boy timid cowardice which caused this.

Pi made light of insulting power and authority, but defended propriety without deviating, in everything he was this way. Before long he moved to garrison Hedong.

Pi was by nature frugal without exception and was not concerned with appearances. Once there was a messenger from the palace, and Pi had him [?] set out food. The messenger then tore apart the edges of his thin rice-cakes. Pi said:

Ploughing, planting, gathering, and hunting, these achievements are very profound. Pounding [with a mortar], cooking, creating and completing, employs strength that is not small. Therefore [since] you select what to pick up, it must be that you are not yet hungry.

He instructed left and right to clear out and leave them. The messenger was shocked and greatly ashamed.

There was also a guest who ate melon with Pi. The guest cut away the melon skin, and slowly the skin became rather thick. Pi thought he disliked it. When the melon skin fell to the ground, he therefore put out his hand to towards the ground, and took and ate it. The guest very much had a shameful face. He was by nature also severe and prickly. There once was a functionary who counted on his private [interests] to arrange affairs. Pi did not make instructions for his beating, but then with his own hand took a boot, and held it to strike him.

He was by nature also severe and impatient. There once was a functionary who counted on his private [interests] to arrange affairs. Pi did not make instructions for his beating, but then with his own hand took a boot, and held it to strike him. Always when arriving at a banquet assembly, he would personally weigh and measure the alcohol and meat, and divide it up and give it to the generals and soldiers. At the time people held high his equal fairness, and mocked his vulgar minutiae[?].

7th Year of Datong [541 AD], he passed at the garrison. He was conferred Grand Commandant.

His son Qingyuan, as a young man, due to being the son of a merited subject, was designated Straight Match General. He passed before Pi, and the grandson Shu inherited.

Shu, courtesy name Changshu, as young was perceptive and smart, and had a capacity for understanding. Aged eight sui, Taizu saw him and marvelled at him, saying:

That Excellency Wang has this grandson is enough that he will not be forgotten.

He promptly used him as General who Quells the Distant and designated him Retainer to the Heir-Apparent. Due to worries for his grandfather he left he post.

Shu mourned his father at a young age and was reared and brought up by Pi. During the mourning period he was deeply in union with the ritual norms. At that time east and west were engaged in a dispute, and the metal and leather [i.e. warfare] had just begun. Those among the crowd officials who came upon mourning, after they had finished wailing they all rose up with orders to attend to affairs. Shu requested to finish [according to] the ritual regulations, his speech reasoned sincerely and incisively. Taizu ordered a palace messenger to go and observe him. He understood his extreme grief, and therefore specially allowed it. When the mourning was concluded, he inherited the feudal rank of Duke of Fufeng commandery, and amassed moves to Upper Great General.

The Story of Master Wu-Da and the Water Repentance Sutra

The Story of Master Wu-Da and the Water Repentance Sutra

Why do virtuous people sometimes encounter great misfortune? The reason is that our actions in this lifetime bear fruit in future lifetimes, and “bad luck” in this life is just residual karma from previous lives. This is the law of cause and effect. The Compassionate Samadhi Water Repentance Sutra, written by Dharma Master Wu-Da, explains it this way: During the Tang Dynasty, a monk named Zhixuan was traveling from temple to temple when he met another monk whose whole body was riddled with festering sores. This monk had been very ill for a long time, and most people dared not go near him. Zhixuan could not bear to see this monk suffer. So he stayed with the monk and washed him and cared for him. After the monk recovered, he said, “I am very grateful. I want to repay you. If you ever encounter difficulties, please come to Jiulong Mountain. You will find me by two pine trees.” Young Zhixuan thought, “I only wanted to ease your suffering. How could I ask for anything in return?” But he merely said, “If I ever need help, I will come to Jiulong Mountain.” Time passed and Zhixuan remained diligent in his spiritual practice. He mastered the teachings of the Buddhist canon and meticulously upheld the precepts. Word of his virtue reached Emperor Yizong, who invited him to expound the Dharma. After hearing Zhixuan, the emperor gave him the title “Imperial Dharma Master Wu-Da.” To express his supreme respect for Imperial Dharma Master Wu-Da, the emperor presented him with a sandalwood Dharma-throne to sit upon while lecturing. When Master Wu-Da saw this throne, a trace of arrogance arose in his heart. As he joyfully approached the throne, he struck his knee on the chair. A bruise appeared. Then the bruise became inflamed. Then the inflammation became a boil shaped like a human face, with a nose and mouth. The emperor summoned famous physicians to treat Wu-Da to no avail. Wu-Da suffered tremendously, and he reflected on his predicament. He knew that it was karma, but how could he eliminate this karma? As he pondered, he remembered the sick monk. Suddenly the monk's parting words took on a profound meaning. And so he set off on a journey to Jiulong Mountain. https://www.thekchencholing.org/blog/ullambana-6/post/the-story-of-master-wu-da-and-the-water-repentance-sutra-21

It describes Princess Tongchang, daughter of Emperor Yizong of Tang, playing the "leaf game" in 868 with members of the Wei clan, the family of the princess's husband.Caribbean Stud Poker will be played with one deck having 52 cards without jokers, with backs of the same colour and design and one cutting card. These requirements are meant to keep the game fair (preventing switching the dice or making a "controlled shot"). If, however, you have a playable hand, perhaps a pair or straight, and you believe that you might beat the Dealer's hand, it's time to place an additional bet. In the box marked Bet, you must wager twice the amount of the Ante bet.

We’ve included some tips for playing online, too, and even recommended the most suitable casinos for certain games.To enhance gameplay, modern machines have integrated several aspects not possible in vintage machines. Eventually, Chinese immigrants introduced keno to the US in the 19th century,[7] where the name was Westernized into boc hop bu[6] and puck-apu. The period between the two world wars was marked by the construction of the church, the bridge, and the town hall (1924).

Manitoba initially deployed them at rural locations only, but expanded them to Winnipeg in 1993, and the Assiniboia Downs race track.There are many variations of street craps. The simplest way is to either agree on or roll a number as the point, then roll the point again before you roll a seven. In American history, early gambling establishments were known as saloons. The creation and importance of saloons was greatly influenced by four major cities: New Orleans, St. Louis, Chicago and San Francisco. It was in the saloons that travelers could find people to talk to, drink with, and often gamble with. During the early 20th century in America, gambling was outlawed by state legislation. However, in 1931, gambling was legalized throughout the state of Nevada, where America's first legalized casinos were set up. In 1976 New Jersey allowed gambling in Atlantic City, now America's second largest gambling city. In most tarock games, the rule is f,t,r. This means that you must follow suit if you can. If you can't follow suit, you must play a trump if you can. Only if you can neither follow suit nor play a trump, you may play any card.

Variations are available that pay different amounts for the quad "deuces", such as Double Deuces (2000), Loose Deuces (2500), Triple Deuces (3000), and Royal Deuces (4000).Each side bet made is added to the large progressive jackpot which keeps on increasing when players contribute a $1 progressive side bet to the jackpot. Typically, the amount you’ll be able to win is displayed on the progressive jackpot meter. The French, however, introduced different suits, which ultimately dominated the European style and was eventually accepted in American card production.If the dealer's hand is not Ace-King or better, the player is paid even money on the ante and nothing (i.e., a push) on the bet. If the dealer's hand is Ace-King or better it is said to "qualify" (for play against the player).

If your hand is greater than the dealer’s, you’ll get paid out 1:1 on your ante bet and you’ll get paid out according to the pay schedule for your Call bet. The higher your hand, the more real money you’ll earn.If the dealer does not have at least an Ace/King, you’ll automatically win. However, you’ll only get paid out for your ante.In the early frontier gambling saloons, the house would set the odds on roulette tables at 27 for 1. The government claimed it would save $200,000 a year by removing the system.Gambling is such a huge industry in Nevada that even the state prison had a casino inside it for 35 years.

Craps attracts the big bettors in American casinos, most of which demand an advantage no greater than 1.4 percent and some only 1 percent or less.Surprisingly, this doesn’t mean passing your dealer a joint in the casino. Passing your toke to a dealer is a gambling term that refers to tipping the dealer – and it’s good manners in most places, especially when you’ve won the hand. A possible origin for the word is that it’s short for tokens (of appreciation). Set a time limit for your visit to the casino. 스윗포인트 The player is paid based on how many numbers were chosen (either player selection, or the terminal picking the numbers), the number of matches out of those chosen, and the wager.

One card is dealt from the red deck and one is dealt from the blue deck. The shooter throws the "cubes" and the color of the cube that is higher selects the color of the card to be used to settle bets.The object of the game is to beat the dealer. Casinos that reduce paytables generally have to increase promotions to compensate and attract customers.However, generally, blackjack dealers are considered reliable and do not cheat.

It then goes on to describe the layout with, "…two betting spaces containing the bank's two numbers, zero and double zero".These are bets that the number bet on will be rolled before a 7 is rolled. The same is true, to a smaller extent, of dog racing. The emergence of satellite broadcasting technology has led to the creation of so-called off-track betting facilities, in which bettors watch live telecasts at locations away from the racetrack.Blackjack has one of the best odds from all the casino games with the house edge being anywhere from 0.5% up to 1% in a single deck of cards.

H I S T O R Y

The Blue Moons Gang was formed in the 1930s by Wen Dingxiang, nicknamed White Wolf, and other mainland Chinese who had immigrated to Taiwan. They began as a vigilante force during Japan’s occupation of Taiwan, opposing the Kōminka movement, which sought to fully “japanize” Taiwanese society.

Following the end of World War II, The BMG gained notoriety through street fighting and vigilante justice. The Blue Moons' membership's goals shifted from street fighting to profiteering by the late 1950s. The gang began extorting money from politicians and big corporations, and established a name for itself in the "protection" industry. 

The gang's influence increased in the early 1980s due to its involvement in politics and international missions. Regarding politics, BMG behaves like a lobbying organization, supporting candidates that share their views.

O R G A N I Z A T I O N

The BMG has a rank system, advancements, and bonuses. It is systematic and regimented. Senior gang figures are called "Da Ge" or "Big Brother." 

The gang is divided into 12 divisions (one for each territory), with names like "Alpha Division" and "Canidae Division." There are bosses, advisers, underbosses, soldiers, and associates. The BMG is said to work with multi-ethnic syndicates to traffic drugs and launder money.

Wen was born in Taipei, Taiwan, to a Korean mother. She abandoned the family when he was six years old, leaving him to be raised by his negligent father. Wen became a somber and isolated child. Immediately after being rejected by his mother, he refused to speak for a year. 

His father was eager for Wen to experience his preeminent werewolf transformation upon the advent of his twelfth or thirteenth birthday. However, puberty came and went for Wen, and he never transformed. It was apparent he did not inherit lycanthropy. This deeply disappointed his father, who distanced himself from his son to the point where he rarely saw him. Wen felt like a failure and sunk further into depression.

The arrival of Theodore 'Teddy' Liu in 2009 was a fortunate turn of events. Wen found a confidante and companion in Liu. They quickly became best friends and were joined at the hip. Within months, Wen was sleeping beside Liu every night. They began to experiment with drugs, alcohol, and their burgeoning sexualities. 

Fleeing to South Korea

After witnessing a violent gang murder, Liu pleaded with Wen that they run away together. Wen proposed that they flee to South Korea, where he has dual citizenship. He and Liu stole money from Liu's father and took a red eye to Seoul, where they found affordable housing in a low-income neighborhood.

Personality

Wen is known for his deadpan sense of humor. He is the straight man to Liu’s funny man and plays off his friend’s wild antics with an eye roll and dry retort. When he is around people he doesn't know, he can be a little hesitant and relies on Liu to handle what he deems "unnecessary conversation."

He is determined to have a decent life for himself and hopes to adopt children in the future.

몰디브바둑이 Anleitung und Erklärung

This is also the period of the game in which the player has to decide whether to raise or fold. After this, the other four cards the dealer has are turned face up. This is when the player finds out whether he has a winning hand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/?search=온라인카지노 When playing your favorite online casino, you might see a game labeled as “Caribbean Draw Poker,” and it can be easy to confuse that with Caribbean Stud as described on this page. But in reality, Caribbean Draw Poker is an offshoot offering slightly different rules and gameplay. If you are in a casino and you receive a plain card, it means the deck needs shuffling before playing another hand. A typical pay table starts with a minimum hand of a pair of jacks, which pays even money. All the other hand combinations in video poker are the same as in table poker, including such hands as two pair, three of a kind, straight (a sequence of 5 cards of consecutive value), flush (any 5 cards of the same suit), full house (a pair and a three of a kind), four of a kind (four cards of the same value), straight flush (5 consecutive cards of the same suit) and royal flush (a Ten, a Jack, a Queen, a King and an Ace of the same suit).

Caribbean Stud Poker appeals to many players and is a very unique variation of standard five-card draw, so if you’re a fan of five-card or other table games such as blackjack or craps, you will likely take to Caribbean Stud Poker. It does, however, take some extent of patience to wait for the right hand and discipline to stick to strategy, so if you are the type to make rash decisions and get bored easily, you might not find this game too exciting. Gamblers playing roulette in America are going to have a slightly harder time winning. A put bet is a bet which allows players to increase or make a Pass line bet after a point has been established (after come-out roll). This is a reproduction of a deck dated to 1567 that is based on a set of face cards by Pierre Marechal of Rouen, France. The cards of Rouen are significant because many were produced for export to Britain. English merchants are even said to have bought them for re-export to other countries. In 1628 England banned the importation of cards, and English printers have been shown to have used Rouen face cards as inspiration for their own cruder, more stylised decks which have become the standard motifs still used in many modern decks.

Casinos know that, and those few who really are capable to exploit the rules are of no consequence. A major rule change from Five Card Stud Poker is that Caribbean Stud Poker is played only against the dealer, and not against any of the other players at the table. Due to this aspect of the game, there is no bluffing or other means of deception involved. This reduces the maximum payout percentage to 98.39% for players betting five coins per hand to receive the Royal Flush bonus. It describes Princess Tongchang, daughter of Emperor Yizong of Tang, playing the "leaf game" in 868 with members of the Wei clan, the family of the princess's husband.

Casinos are a huge source of interesting myths, legends, and stories that almost seem too good to be true. If the player loses, it means that a normal koatari has been hit and the machine enters into jitan mode.The Mexican game Lotería requires a special deck of 54 cards. Each card has a picture, name, and number. 2 or 12 (hi-lo): Wins if shooter rolls a 2 or 12. The stickman places this bet on the line dividing the 2 and 12 bets.

Today, poker has evolved into numerous variants with differing rules and formats. There are so many different forms of the game in existence that it would be near impossible to name them all. The former Dairy Factory (now an Auto workshop) on Route de Merviller (1930) 온라인사설바둑이게임주소 Only take cash. Don’t take your bank cards or credit cards with you when you gamble. Due to the high payout rate (RTP) approximately 99.41%, it is also one of the top table games in any casino.

These establishments often provide food and beverage services. Very popular in British casinos, tiers bets outnumber voisins and orphelins bets by a massive margin.This also goes for insurance; paying the premium on one’s life insurance is, in effect, a bet that one will die within a specified time. The action then proceeds clockwise as each player in turn must either match (or "call") the maximum previous bet, or fold, losing the amount bet so far and all further involvement in the hand. A player who matches a bet may also "raise" (increase) the bet.

Most roulette wheels have two colors: red and black. If your addiction to gambling is getting out of control, several states allow you to ban yourself from casinos, making it a crime to step foot on the gaming floor.One can slow, but not eliminate, one's average losses by only placing bets with the smallest house advantage. An analysis using primarily descriptive statistics indicated both sub-samples had similar viewpoints although Macau residents tended to have higher scores pertaining to the consequences of gambling.

In certain states, such as Florida and California, tribal owners have been active in blocking new entrants, and they spend tens of millions of dollars annually on political contributions, PACs, lobbying efforts and ballot initiatives to maintain a competitive edge. Red is a popular decorating color because it is thought to make people lose track of time. Also, there are no clocks on casino walls.The most notable difference between playing street craps and bank craps is that there is no bank or house to cover bets in street craps. Some casino do not allow new pass line bets while a point has been established. Some casinos will place the bet straddling the outer border of the pass line so as to indicate that it is to be paid the same odds as a place bet, instead of just even money.

If the player switches all five cards, then he must raise.The player may either fold or raise.If player folds, then he forfeits his cards, ante bet, and side bet (if made).If player raises, then he must make a raise wager exactly equal to twice the ante. Harrah's Entertainment finds that in 2005 the typical casino gambler was a forty-six-year-old female from a household with an above-average income. A Short History of Cards-The first playing cards appeared in China, when paper started to be used in sheets and books, rather than rolls. In 868, the  Collection of Miscellanea at Duyang  (by E Su)  says that the favorite daughter of  Emperor Yizong of the Tang dynasty,  Princess Tongchang,  would play the game of  leaves  (yeh-tzâ)  with members of the family of her powerful husband  (Wei Baoheng). In 1120, an official memo proposed a standardization of the popular card game of "Heavens and Nines" (T'ien-kiu)  using a type of playing cards known as  dotted cards  (teen tsze pae). The  fallacious legend  that those cards were invented at that date to amuse the numerous concubines of Emperor  Huizong  (of the  Song dynasty)  was properly debunked by  W.H. Wilkinson (1895)  and others. Marco PoloThe legend that European explorers of the 13th and 14th century  (starting with Marco Polo)  brought playing cards from the Orient to Venice is dubious at best. So are the reports that  Bertrand du Guesclin (1320-1380)  discovered them in Italy  "in 1350",  during the  Hundred Years' War. In 1371, the Catalan word  naip  was used to describe a playing card  (the Spanish spelling is  naipe).  According to  Michael Dummett (1925-2011) that's the earliest extant European reference to playing-cards. Cards became really popular in Europe around 1377,  at which time they attracted the attention of religious and civil authorities  (until then, dice  were the sole gaming enemy).  In 1377, a gaming statute was passed in Florence to regulate the "recently introduced" game of  naibbe. Playing cards were first letter-pressed by  Thomas de la Rue  (1793-1866)  in 1832, imitating wood-block style. The British company he founded in 1821  (DeLaRue)  is now the World's largest producer of security papers.Its  playing-card operations  were sold to  John Waddington in 1969. The 20th Battalion of Foot Chasseurs were stationed in Baccarat from 1906 to 1918.

HOW THE HANDS RANK IN CARIBBEAN STUD POKER-ROYAL FLUSH The highest hand in Caribbean Stud Poker – the top five cards in the deck (10, Jack, Queen,King, Ace), all of the same suit. One of the most distinguishing features of the French cards is the queen. Casinos in the United States say that a player staking money won from the casino is playing with the house's money. After all players have either folded or bet, the Dealer displays the House hand. To continue (qualify), the Dealer must have at least an Ace and King. If not, all Ante wagers are paid at even money, and all other bets are considered inactive.

If the Dealer does not have at least an Ace and King, all Players who haven’t folded are paid even money on their Ante wagers only. When the Dealer’s hand is an Ace and King or better, you must have a better hand to win. http://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=사설놀이터추천 In 1982 I invented the game that became Carribbean Stud. I called it Casino Poker. Except for the fact that I exposed one card rather than two, and had no progressive jackpot betting option, the rules were the same. Ante one, bet two more, dealer qualifies with AK. Plus there were bonus pays for high hands. A typical Bingo game utilizes the numbers 1 through 75. Some clubs allow players to redeem points for cash; others offer meals, rooms, or merchandise.

For people interested in collecting playing-cards or researching into their history, their origins, their spread around the world, use and manufacture there is as yet no news group. However a discussion forum is managed via Ecartis at cs.man.ac.uk. Eleven is called out as "yo" or "yo-leven" to prevent being misheard as "seven". An older term for eleven is "six five, no jive" because it is a winning roll. c. Is equal in rank to the dealer's five-card hand, the dealer shall return the Ante and BetA deck of cards offers the opportunity to play a variety of games and maybe even practice your French. Here’s some vocabulary that can help.

TWO PAIRS Any two cards of the same face value, plus another two cards of the same face value (but different from the first pair), plus any other odd card. ONE PAIR Any two cards of the same face value, plus any other three odd cards. An exhaustive list of these is beyond the scope of this article, but the guidelines below are most commonly given. This number becomes the "come-bet point" and the player is allowed to take odds, just like a pass line bet. Also like a pass line bet, the come bet is a contract bet and is always working, and cannot be turned "Off", removed or reduced until it wins or loses.Some roulette players may continue playing even if they are consistently losing because they feel it is their turn to win.

The 1950 Broadway musical Guys and Dolls features a major plot point revolving around a floating craps game. The story caught on, however, and soon people throughout Europe were craving sandwiches. Manitoba initially deployed them at rural locations only, but expanded them to Winnipeg in 1993, and the Assiniboia Downs race track.If a player lays maximum odds with a point of 4 or 10 on a table offering five-times odds, he would be able to lay a maximum of ten times the amount of his Don't Pass bet.

To use the simplest example, the player may place a bet on any one of those 38 numbers. In modern China, the idea of using lotteries to fund a public institution was not accepted before the late 19th century. Gaming machines, such as slot machines and pachinko, are usually played by one player at a time and do not require the involvement of casino employees to play.The coincidence, coupled with gambling's knack for ruining lives, has earned the roulette wheel the nickname "The Devil's Wheel."

one fascinating thing about blackjack is it has 52 cards in a deck, and surprisingly, there are 52 weeks in a year. Straight hands of five cards are sometimes used as a final showdown, but poker is almost always played in a more complex form to allow for additional strategy. Blackjack is the principal card game in American casinos. 우리카지노계열 This rare ability to hide the price of a good or service offers an opportunity for casino management to raise the price without notifying the players – if they can get away with it.

Should You Tip Your 안전한놀이터 Dealer?

Most prominently, it is universally considered bad luck to say the word "seven" (after the "come-out", a roll of 7 is a loss for "pass" bets). https://www.washingtonpost.com/newssearch/?query=안전공원 Party per fesse, 1 Gules a dexter arm hand Carnation armed Argent holding a sword the same hilt and pommel Or between two roundels the same; 2 Azure a goblet Argent. Although the international pack, based on Anglo-American designs, is known throughout the world, most European countries also have their own distinctive designs of French suited cards. Also, in many places games are played which use fewer than 52 cards or multiple packs, and in some places packs are printed specially for these games. Here are some examples. The bet consists of four chips or multiples thereof. Three chips are bet on splits and one chip straight-up: one chip on 0-3 split, one on 12-15 split, one on 32-35 split and one straight-up on number 26.

Yes. It is generally considered that you should definitely split a pair of Aces in blackjack. Typically, the more numbers a player chooses and the more numbers hit, the greater the payout, although some paytables pay for hitting a lesser number of spots. Deck celebrating the union of Brittany and France with Spanish suits but has queens instead of knights Antoine de Logiriera of Toulouse, c.1500. To play the progressive jackpot, drop a chip in the slot, which turns on the light for that seat for the duration of the current hand. In US casinos, the rules of Caribbean Stud Poker vary somewhat depending on where you are playing.

Player wins: Ante pushes and Raise is paid according to pay table below.Tie: Both Ante and Raise push.Dealer wins: Both Ante and Raise lose.If the dealer cannot open with ace-king or better, then the Ante will pay even money and the Raise will push, regardless of the poker value of the player's hand. Playing cards in America came along with European settlers, representing the countries they belonged to. When the player's turn comes, they place a bet equal to the original bet, and the dealer gives the player just one card, which is placed face down and is not turned up until the bets are settled at the end of the hand. In all the above scenarios, whenever the Pass line wins, the Don't Pass line loses, and vice versa, with one exception: on the come-out roll, a roll of 12 will cause Pass Line bets to lose, but Don't Pass bets are pushed (or "barred"), neither winning nor losing. (The same applies to "Come" and "Don't Come" bets, discussed below.)

What led to its explosive growth? First, it's based on the All-American game of five-card stud poker that is familiar to most players.  Secondly, all players compete against the dealer which eliminates the intimidation of playing against other players that occurs in regular table poker. Suits are irrelevant. In most varieties of the game, a player receiving two cards of the same rank may split them, receiving a second card for each, and play the two hands independently of each other. 썬시티게임 Depending on the sum you're exchanging, the dealer will automatically break down the chips to allow you to make bets that relate to your bankroll. You can, however, request denominations of your choice, as long as they match the table playing rules and limits. Playing cards were invented in Ancient China. They were found in China as early as the 9th Century during the Tang Dynasty (618–907). The first reference to the card game in world history dates no later than the 9th Century, when the Collection of Miscellanea at Duyang, written by Tang Dynasty writer Su E, described Princess Tongchang (daughter of Emperor Yizong of Tang) playing the “leaf game” in 868 with members of the Wei clan (the family of the princess’ husband). The Song Dynasty (960–1279) scholar Ouyang Xiu (1007–1072) asserted that playing cards and card games existed at least since the mid-Tang Dynasty and associated their invention with the simultaneous development of using sheets or pages instead of paper rolls as a writing medium. The first known book on cards called Yezi Gexi was allegedly written by a Tang-era woman, and was commented on by Chinese writers of subsequent dynasties.

These requirements are meant to keep the game fair (preventing switching the dice or making a "controlled shot"). Unlike in other states, the gaming devices are not under the jurisdiction of the state lottery.Some may also discourage or disallow unsanitary practices such as kissing or spitting on the dice. Dealers will usually announce if bets are working unless otherwise called off. If a non-working point number placed, bought or laid becomes the new point as the result of a come-out, the bet is usually refunded, or can be moved to another number for free.

For generations of Americans, casino gambling meant Las Vegas -- and the name evoked either glamour or tacky glitz, depending on the listener. The true odds are 17:1 and 35:1, resulting in a house edge of 11.11% and 13.89% respectively.A working bet is a live bet. Bets may also be on the board, but not in play and therefore not working. Pass line and come bets are always working meaning the chips are in play and the player is therefore wagering live money. According to The Tech of a Casino (TechTV, June 2002), casinos use a variety of tricks to attract gamblers.

France boasts many of the most famous European casinos, including those at Cannes, Nice, Divonne-les-Bains, and Deauville. On the other 24 rolls that become a point, your don't pass bet is now to your advantage by 6:3 (4 and 10), 6:4 (5 and 9) and 6:5 (6 and 8). If a player chooses to remove the initial don't come and/or don't pass line bet, he or she can no longer lay odds behind the bet and cannot re-bet the same don't pass and/or don't come number (players must make a new don't pass or come bets if desired).If the first number ends with an 8, 9, or 0, another number may be drawn as there are no numbers starting with an 8 or 9 and only 9 numbers starting with a 0. Some halls will also redraw a number ending with a 7 as there are only six numbers beginning with a 7. Eight rolled the hard way, as opposed to an "easy eight", is sometimes called an "eighter from Decatur".

Combinatorial analysis and/or computer simulation is necessary to complete the task. To give an example of why, take the concept of the house edge.In some casinos, you might see the dealer wearing red-tinted glasses instead. Players may wager money against each other (playing "street craps") or a bank (playing "casino craps", also known as "table craps", or often just "craps").
