King Dice, the Devil's right hand, was given a task. He was to eliminate a man named Kaiji Ito.

The Devil, his boss, had reasons unknown to Dice. All he knew was that Kaiji was a threat.

Kaiji Ito was known for his gambling prowess. His reputation had reached the Devil, thus making him a target.

Dice approached Kaiji, offering him a dangerous gamble. A game that could cost Kaiji his life.

Kaiji agreed to the gamble, his pride as a gambler wouldn't let him back down.

They played hand after hand. It was a close game, with each player holding their cards close.

The final hand was dealt, and Dice revealed his cards - a royal flush.

Kaiji, with a calm expression, slowly revealed his hand - a straight flush. He had won.

Dice was stunned. He had lost. The Devil's task had failed.

The Devil, witnessing the game, decided to handle Kaiji personally.

Kaiji was summoned by the Devil. A new gamble was proposed, this time with higher stakes.

Kaiji, with nothing left to lose, accepted. The game was set.

The game was simple. Bet on a number and spin the wheel. The stakes, however, were their lives.

With a devilish grin, the Devil spun the wheel. The crowd watched in anticipation.

The ball landed on Kaiji's number. The room filled with gasps as the Devil lost his own game.

Kaiji, against all odds, had won. His life was spared, and he gained the Devil's respect.

Having beaten the Devil at his own game, Kaiji became a legend in the gambling world.

Dice and the Devil, while disappointed, had to admit that Kaiji was a formidable opponent.

Even after Kaiji's departure, his legend lived on. The casino continued its operations, with a new respect for its patrons.

Dice and the Devil, learning from their defeat, became more cautious in their dealings.

Kaiji, having survived the Devil's gambit, continued his life as a gambler, always ready for the next challenge.

His experiences at the Devil's casino had changed him. He was no longer just a gambler, but a legend.
