Into the book
“The most difficult thing for humans is gambling.
Therefore, gambling requires complete harmony.
“You can never win by treating casino games like gambling.”
“What if I don’t gamble like gambling?”
“Casino games should be treated like studying.
“It requires the care to scoop up a bowl of hot seaweed soup and place it on the table, as well as the prudence to blow on it dozens of times to cool it down.”
"To win big, you have to take risks and bet when the time comes. Plus, don't you win big when you have a little luck?"
“That is the path to certain defeat.
Casino games are such that even if you win nine out of ten times, you can lose everything if you lose just once.
In casino games, it's not about how much you win that day, but how you win that matters.
What this means is that the process is more important than the result.
So, casino games should be treated like studying.”
“So what is luck or fortune in casino games?”
Professor Choi's answer was firm.
“There is no such thing.”
“Huh? Isn’t luck the most important thing in gambling?”
“That is the thinking of the lower classes.
If you think of it as a study that constantly refines yourself, there is no room for luck.”
"but……."
“A gambler must constantly reflect on himself.
Whether you get it right or not is a matter of chance.
“The gambler’s role is to swim through the sea of countless coincidences and create inevitability through his own harmony.”
“Humans are like candles in the wind.
Think about it.
The grand and eventful fate of humanity.
In the face of that fate, humans can only be humble.
You two are good at casino games? You always win? But that's not how casino games work.
I have to lose.
Losing something brings sadness and hardship.
And that's how you acquire wisdom.
But these two people are like machines, manufactured for the sole purpose of making money.
“Woo Pro’s greed created the two of them.”
“Anyway, we win.
“I’ve always won.”
“Casino games are inherently about losing.
It is the struggle of humans to learn the wisdom to survive through countless defeats.
How to deal with the gambling instinct that is deeply rooted in the human mind is a task for humans.
But the two were designed only to win at gambling.
A lot of gamblers are like that.
Obsessed with the illusion of victory, they end up ruining everything around them and ruining their own lives.
If you don't teach them defeat now, they will mechanically work for money, and eventually, they will be obsessed with money and ruin their lives.
I wanted to save two people, so I started this game.
“I can’t stop.”
Therefore, gambling requires complete harmony.

Publisher's Review
Kim Jin-myeong, Unraveling the Secrets of the Casino!
The novel is set in famous casinos around the world, from Kangwon Land to Macau and Las Vegas.
No gambling novel has ever portrayed the world of true professional gamblers and casinos so realistically.
Through this novel, readers will be able to encounter not only the 'world of professional gamblers' but also a different side of Kim Jin-myeong than the one they knew before.
Casino games save lives, not casino gambling that kills people.
There is a saying that goes, 'If you want to kill someone, make them play baccarat.'
As the saying goes, the simplest gambles are the most exciting, and baccarat captivates many with its simple rules, which are as simple as flipping a coin.
But this easy baccarat is a scary game that brings tragedy.
No matter how many times you have won, if you fail once, you can lose everything in an instant, and baccarat is something that prevents you from giving up until that moment comes.
But can anyone really beat a casino? Reading about the world of casinos, I'm struck by the human desire for money and the meaning of gambling.
The lives of gamblers in the real world of casinos are a world that is difficult for ordinary people to access.
Trapped in our prejudices, we have no intention or room to seriously look into their world, but it would be meaningful to look at the 'game', 'gambling', 'gambler', 'gambler', and the 'desire' that lies dormant within us.
This is a novel that makes you think about money, humanity, desire, and what 'true' victory is.
