Zhou An always felt that in the long history of mankind, the invention of playing cards is great. It is not about gambling, but about entertainment, can play when you are relaxing in your spare time, can play with friends gatherings, can play with energy during the Chinese New Year and during the savings, and a set of decks in your hand, can be played anytime and anywhere.

And in Donggan, there is no such gambling tool yet.

For some reasons, when Zhou An "invented" playing cards, he made some localized changes to fit the world.

He did not use English letters.

It completely avoids Arabic numerals.

The reason why English letters are not used is because that thing is very difficult to promote, and strange symbols give it inexplicable meaning.

Arabic numerals are easy to promote because they are numbers, just another way of writing.

However, Zhou An has used Arabic numerals in the Dongchang Intelligence Codebook, so he does not want people in this world to learn Arabic numerals.

There is also the evasion of imperial power.

The k in Zhou An's playing cards in his previous life represented the emperor, and according to the colors, they were Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and King David.

q represents the queen.

In this world, localization changes must not be made into the image of the emperor and the queen in the gambling game, even if it is symbolic.

In addition, Zhou An does not use English letters, so jqk changes a lot. The scimitar guard is j, the lantern queen is q, and the bow and arrow king is k.

It does not involve imperial power, but it involves secondary royal power.

If this thing was invented by someone from the folk, it would be a big problem, but it was invented by Zhou An. He himself is a first-class prince. Even if he really painted a certain vassal king on a card, it would be a big problem.

Compared with imperial power, the issue of the first-level king level is not very sensitive.

A, Zhou An changed it to a great sword.

The pronunciations of the scimitar guard, the queen of Lanterns, and the king of bows and arrows are "Blades and Lanterns", which corresponds to jqk, and the great sword is the sound of "Sword", which is somewhat similar to the pronunciation of a itself.

There are also changes to the big and big kings.

Zhou An directly changed it to the gods and evil ghosts, and the pronunciation is "gods and ghosts", and the combination is the largest card "gods and ghosts".

Zhou An threw a booklet to Ma San again.

This is the "Detailed Explanation of East Cards" written by Zhou An today. It not only provides a detailed explanation of East Cards, but also lists five ways of playing, namely Landlord, Zhajinhua, Texas Hold'em, Soha, and Bullfight.

The booklet is very thick.

Ma San looked around and his eyes gradually shone.

In fact, poker is not a very exquisite thing, but it can be simple and complex, and it can have multiple ways to play without changing gambling tools, which is amazing.

What's even more amazing is that this thing is designed directly, rather than being improved little by little with development.

This is very scary.

"Let's see again when we go back, we still have something..." Zhou An said when he saw Ma San keep looking.

Ma San quickly closed the booklet and looked at Zhou An.

"Look at this!"

Zhou An pushed a wooden box toward Ma San and opened the wooden box. There were small rectangular wooden blocks, each of which was carved with patterns and colored.

Some are round, some are long, some are text with patterns, and some are portrayed in the southeast, west, and two common dices.

Zhou An took out another booklet, threw it on the wooden box, and said, "Go back and read it."

Ma San quickly put away the things. The moment he closed the box, he saw the four words on the booklet and explained the mahjong in detail!

"Come here!" Zhou An stood up again and signaled to Ma San.

He was busy for most of the day, and of course he not only invented poker and mahjong, but that thing was so easy to invent. Zhou An could cut it into mahjong with a piece of wood. Of course, he also made other, complicated things.

There is a large piece of silk covering something in the inner side of the study, which looks like a table.

Zhou An took Ma San over, removed the silk, and threw it aside.

Under the silk, it is really a table, and it is a nearly fan-shaped table. The height is the same as a normal table. There are some grids on it, and each grid has different texts, such as dealer, and one, two, three, four, five...

There is also a booklet on the table.

There are four words on the booklet, name is Baccarat and detailed explanation!

"This is a gambling platform. Our family invented a game called Baccarat. After a while, you ask someone to carry this away, and then according to the gambling platform, you ask someone to make at least fifty of them for our family... The drawings of the gambling platform are at the end of the instruction manual. The structure is very simple. Remember to make it better and more luxurious..."

Ma San was stunned.

There is even a sense of fear.

Because his intuition told him that the gambling game or gambling method that Zhou An invented would inevitably be popular among the world, and both the people in the martial arts world and ordinary people would like it.

But this is difficult and almost impossible.

Because gambling is developing slowly.

There are more gamblers with smart little brains. I don’t know how many people in the world have invented new gambling tools and new ways of gambling every year, but no one will play it soon.

It is not difficult to invent gambling tools.

It is harder to invent playable gambling tools than to reach the sky.

You should know that the gambling method popular among Dongqian is not much different from that of more than 300 years ago. It is still the dice to be king! But now it seems that the "Dong Card" invented by Zhou An is likely to change this situation.

"Come here, there!" Zhou An led Ma San to walk a few more steps aside.

Another item covered by silk was pulled open.

This is a large turntable, which seems to be a large bowl with a shallow bottom. There is a column in the middle of the bowl. With this column as the center, diffuse grids are divided around it. In addition to numbers such as one, two, and three, there are also color differences.

"Rove wheel! You'll ask someone to move away later..." Zhou An signaled.

There was also a booklet in the roulette, which read the detailed explanation of the roulette!

After Zhou An finished speaking, he walked away, went to the table beside him, and picked up a small box from it, which contained some small wooden circles.

"Cards!" Zhou An handed over the small box to Ma San who was following him. "For the sake of easy calculation and convenient gamblers to place bets, you have to let the gamblers exchange chips when entering the casino, and when leaving the casino, exchange them back in equal amount..."

Ma San looked at a few small circles, some with silver slanted, and some with one hundred gold slanted. He even saw a chip with ten thousand gold slanted!

"You need to work hard to prevent forgery of chips. If necessary, you can directly cast chips with gold and silver, and move forward to the gems. Our family can let the silver game cooperate with you..."

Yinzuoju is one of the twenty-four yamen in the inner court, responsible for creating gold and silver jewelry. The extremely complex phoenix crown worn by the empress on her head is the pinnacle of Yinzuoju.

"Here... we still have a lot of ideas, but we can't use them for a while, so we didn't do much." Zhou An brought Ma San to the corner.

Ma San curled his lips when he heard this.

Not much is this?

You are so humble!

"This is the last one, and the most important one!" Zhou An said, tearing off the silk cloth.

Under the silk cloth is a large wooden shelf, and on the wooden shelf is a ball... an empty ball, woven with rattan, and then covered with ultra-thin yarn. This yarn is a tribute, ultra-thin translucent, allowing people to see the situation inside the ball.

Inside the big balls are small balls, and each ball has numbers of one, two, three, and four digits slanted... There are dozens of balls, and it is impossible to determine how many of them are at a glance.

And on the side of the hollow large ball, there is a shaking handle.

"This thing is a prize machine... Our family made it a bit rough. You can study and improve it. If necessary, you can use glass..."

Ma San can't understand it anymore.

This thing is the most important thing? Because Ma San saw the characteristics of gambling tools, he knew that this thing could definitely be used for gambling, but... it seems too complicated and easy to cheat.

"This is just for lottery draws. What style does not matter, what is important is this..." This time, Zhou An took out a small notebook from his arms and handed it to Ma San as he spoke.

This is a long strip of notebook. When you open the notebook, you will find that each page of the notebook is divided into home page and side page, which is a piece of paper. One-third of the left is the side page, and two-thirds of the right is the home page.

The main and secondary pages are all numbered, exactly the same, and stamped, just pressed in the middle of the main and secondary pages.
Chapter completed!
