BetPK Casino
The brand-new Dragon Tiger table, in the heart of BetPK’s casino, glittered like a diamond, its surface alive under the flicker of a hundred mirrored lights. Easy to play, hard to win, the novice, the hopeless gambler, the casino addict made a pilgrimage to this game that had a resonance with two mythical creatures that mingled auspicious beasts.
I walked up to the table on enchanted feet, feeling like I’d stepped into the enchanted realm of a wonderland where anything goes; the quiet but self-possessed young woman dealing was a real witch, and her quick hands had the flourish of our childhood fairy-tale variety.
The game itself looked simple – a pair of cards, one for the Dragon and one for the Tiger, and whoever had the highest card won. But there was something strange about it, as if there was some kind of magic behind it all, beyond the dictates of impersonal chance. The Dragon and Tiger, real world powers of luck and strength, seemed to imbue the cards with their own power until somehow each round transformed into the mystical duel between two magical forces.
I wagered on Dragon, and when the dealer fanned the cards a thrill of empathetic anticipation rippled through me. The Dragon was a king of hearts. It was matched against the Tiger’s queen of spades. I cheered when Dragon won, as though great beasts themselves had affected the coin, their primordial adversaries facing each other over the felt.
As the round went on, I began to experience the story of swings of fortune: every round was a new page. The dealer conducted the hands like a maestro leading an orchestra. The dress code spanned the spectrum from disco dancer to scientist.
The young man in the sharp suit with the glint of hope in his eye and a bet on the Tiger. The older women with the creases on her face and her bets, with quiet experience demanded. The couple, who whispered plans to each other in a world of sheer survival, and each dragged the other by the arm, encouraging to their chosen beast.
For minutes between that girl and all of it, I glimpsed a totem-world where I knew just where I belonged It is no measured form of entertainment, but a rite of joy and revelation. The Dragon and the Tiger are emblems of the mystery of opposites – of the transcendent interplay of dual forces that gives rise to all things.
The wins and losses of the evening become tunes of chance.The tables kept turning. Laughs echoed again; grumbles were snuffed. It was the end of the night and, although the table was a level seasaw of credits, people were, as they came, satisfied. BetPK’s Dragon Tiger had shown a game that was also entertainment. The whole institute had revealed to us a community where magic was still to be counted in, where belief in a dreamworld could influence the fall of the dice and the turn of the card. As I departed the table, I, too, felt satisfied.
I took my leave of the Dragon and Tiger, as if the image of them – and the thought that every other BetPK Casino game is like them – was something beautiful or mystical that I didn’t want to forget. I knew I would return to play again. I felt compelled to sell to someone one day the concept that in a number of respects, the Dragon and Tiger game, or Beat the Dealer 3 alike, convey a sense of the cosmic. It feels, perhaps, like our own Siddhartha turning his back on the world to find absolute truth and joy under a tree; it feels like the Ganges; it feels like heaven.
