Although Ho Hung Sun is known as the king of Macau gambling, if you look at it from the perspective of "gambling" itself, Ye Han is truly worthy of the "gambling king" of Macao, and Ye Han is also known as the "ghost king Ye" and "gambling saint" by the world with his unparalleled gambling skills. What really made Ye Han famous in the First World War was that when he was 31 years old, he broke the "Listening to the Dice Party" and was canonized in the First World War, and has since been called "Gambling Saint".
Macau gambling king Ip Han, who was named "Gambling Saint"
Ye Han was born in 1906 in Xinhui, Guangdong Province, the father of a businessman and a small success, but not a rich man. Ye Han was very clever and calculating, but he used all his cleverness and calculation on gambling, so he was addicted to gambling and good at gambling since he was a child, and he almost won every bet.
His father thought that Ye Han was not doing his job, and he was greatly disappointed in him, believing that his life was a waste, and simply let him go. Without his father's discipline, Ye Han gained a great deal of freedom and threw himself into gambling, practicing his gambling skills even more intensely.
When he was only a teenager, Ye Han was introduced by his uncle Ye Zuopeng and entered the "Chengcheng Casino" in Macau as a dealer. The so-called "dealer" is a profession in the casino responsible for dealing cards, killing (recovering the chips lost by the guest) and losing (losing the lottery). Ye Han's outstanding gambling skills made him quickly emerge in the casino and became the best "dealer star". After Lu Jiu won the Macau gambling card, Ye Han was also included in the casino.
Ye Han originally thought that he could gain Lu Jiu's appreciation by relying on his unmatched gambling skills, so as to get ahead, who knew that he had not been able to achieve his wish. Later, Fu Laorong, who was hired to sit in a casino in Shenzhen, poached Ye Han, and Ye Han was grateful to Fu Laorong, and in order to repay Fu Laorong's kindness, he was determined to "bow down and die" for Fu Laorong.
In 1937, Fu Laorong joined hands with Gao Kening, the king of the Hong Kong and Macao betting industry, to obtain a Macau gambling license and establish the "Taixing Company", and as a result, Ye Han also followed Fu Laorong to Macau. Fu Laorong was not thin to Ye Han, making him the director of the company's Sic Bao department, and at the same time offering him a high salary of 700 yuan per month.

Ye Han's opportunity to repay Fu Laorong's kindness soon came. Soon after the new establishment of Taixing Company, it ushered in a group of mysterious gamblers. The leader of them was known as the "Golden Master", forty or fifty years old, not smiling, with a somber face, and he looked like a fierce corner who had experienced a big battle in the casino.
After the bet, the beautiful female dealer covered with a copper cup helmet, held the dice cup, shook it vigorously 3 times, and then placed it on the gambling case, and the female dealer then beckoned the gamblers to bet. After the dice in the dice cup sounded three times, Jin Ye made a look, and one of his minions took a mud code worth 5,000 Hong Kong dollars and bet it on the "small".
The pretty dealeress shouted "Open"! The dice cup was unveiled, and the dice appeared in front of everyone: "One, two, four, seven o'clock open small"! The little minions next to Jin Ye neatly pocketed another 5,000 Hong Kong dollars of mud on the gambling table, and this bet, Jin Ye won 5,000 Hong Kong dollars. The next few bets, if Jin Ye has divine help, buy big win big, buy small win small. Many onlookers saw Jin Ye's miraculous powers, and all followed Jin Ye to bet.
As a result, the more Jin Ye won, the more the casino lost, and the beautiful female dealer's face was frightened and white. But Jin Ye still looks gloomy, the casino continues to lose, the female dealer can not withstand the huge pressure, no longer dare to play, had to change a male dealer, but the ending is still the same: the casino loses more and more, the more Jin Ye wins.
After Ye Han heard the news that Jin Ye had won wildly in the casino, he quickly appeared on the scene and sat quietly to observe, Ye Han finally saw the mystery in it: this man named Jin Ye could actually listen to the dice! This kind of skill was terrible, I had only heard it from the older generation before, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. This time the casino lost too badly, fu Laorong had to ignore the impact on the casino business, announced that for the time being, the sic bo would not be opened!

Fu Laorong said to Ye Han in an almost pleading tone, Brother, you must find a way to break this spell for me! This skill was so mysterious that Fu Laorong had no choice but to call it a spell. Ye Han's heart suddenly rose a burst of pride, patting his chest and assuring Fu Laorong that as long as he was given 3 days, he would definitely break this dice listening technique, and if he couldn't break it, he would never receive this 700 yuan salary again!
The 3 days passed in a flash, and on the 4th day, Jin Ye, who had eaten sweet, came to the casino with a bunch of minions. This time, Ye Han specially selected the most beautiful girl as a dealer, the girl trembled, saw Jin Ye coming, her legs were frightened, and she had to harden her scalp. The first bet on the golden master came to a lower Horse Wei, directly put the 20,000 Hong Kong dollar mud code on the "big", the casino air seems to be frozen, Ye Han also put his heart to the throat eye, who knows after opening the cup cover, opened at five o'clock, small!
Suddenly, the whole audience was in an uproar, Jin Ye's face was full of surprise, and the gang behind him was even more horrified, as if they had seen a ghost. On this bet, the casino ate 598,000 Hong Kong dollars! The surprise on Jin Ye's face was fleeting, and after adjusting his state, he made several bets in a row. Who knew that today, like a ghost, the dice seemed to be specifically against Jin Ye, he bet on the big and opened the small, and he bet on the small and opened the big. Jin Ye and his gang of minions lost all the money they had brought, looked miserable, and walked out of the casino without a word.
Originally, after Ye Han made a military order to Fu Laorong, he locked himself in the room and repeatedly practiced listening to the dice for 3 days, all day long, eating, sleeping, and even when it was convenient, he had been practicing the dice, and on the third day, he finally heard the famous hall: the dice fell on the bottom of the glass cup, the sound was crisp, and Jin Ye relied on this to accurately judge the points of the dice.
Therefore, Ye Han made a dice cup with transparent plastic instead of glass, and then used a thick layer of flannel cloth to make the bottom of the dice cup, so that the sound of the dice falling down was so small that it was almost impossible to distinguish. Ye Han used this trick to break Jin Ye's miraculous dice listening technique, and since then, the listening party has never dared to appear in the Macau casino again. Ye Han rose to prominence on this basis, was canonized in world war I, and was known as the "gambling saint".
