Superstitions have been part of gambling since a very long time. Gamblers from all over the world believe in some form of superstition and in most cases they also share the same set of beliefs. However, there are some countries such as China which has a different set of superstitions. These superstitions or beliefs determine the things which are considered lucky and those which are considered unlucky.
There are many gamblers who will just do anything to increase their chances of winning even if it includes performing a ritual of some kind before or during the game. While there are some groups of gamblers such as Chinese gamblers who have adopted their own set of superstitions, there are also a common set of superstitions that many gamblers share. Let us look at some of the common superstitions and some of the Chinese superstitions.

My Lucky Stars $16.96 Because the success of the first LUCKY STARS film (WINNERS AND SINNERS) had a lot to do with the Japanese market, the second film in the series takes place in the land of the rising sun and features Michiko Nishiwaki, the Japanese female bodybuilder. Jackie Chan plays an undercover cop who solicits the help of his gang of childhood friends--the five Lucky Stars, each of whom specializes in petty crimes and minor mishaps--to help him catch Japanese gangsters. Dough-faced Eric Tsang replaces John Sham as one of the Lucky Stars, while Sibelle Hu plays the femme du jour and the object of the Lucky Stars' lust. The film features several notable fights, including a surreal sequence in which Chan rumbles in an outlandish amusement park costume; in another memorable fight, director Sammo Hung battles in a yellow jumpsuit, à la Bruce Lee's GAME OF DEATH. The fantastic showdown at a haunted house attraction pits the Lucky Stars against a stellar cast of opponents: Hu versus Nishiwaki, Hung versus Lau Kar-wing, Yuen Biao versus Lam Ching-ying, and Chan versus Dick Wei. |
