Zatoichi - The Gambler (博徒 Bakuto)

The Gambler (博徒 - Bakuto) - According to wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakuto), "Bakuto (博徒) were itinerant gamblers active in Japan from the 18th century to the mid-20th century. They were one of two forerunners (the other being tekiya, or peddlers) to modern Japanese organized crime syndicates called yakuza."

Zatoichi loved his gambling, especially luring the greedy and dishonest players with his dice trick. Also, with his super keen sense of hearing and intuition, he could tell how the dice were going to turn up, and even where they were hidden when the dice thrower intended to cheat.

Out of numerous gambling episodes, I have selected four clips to be presented here. These are respectively from "The Chess Expert", "Fight Ichi Fight", "Chest of Gold" and "Ichi's Revenge". I like these four because of their drama and Cinematography.
