After 5 years of living a normal and calm life as an ordinary person, the demon-hearted enemy Chau Siu-chee (Wu Hsing-kuo) begins to harass Ko Chun’s life.
Before the bloody tragedy happened, Ko Chun was enjoying happy days with his wife, Wan Yau (Sharla Cheung) who was pregnant. One day, Ko Chun invites his old friend and former bodyguard when Ko Chun was the god of gambling, Lung Wu (Charles Heung).
When Ko Chun was reuniting with his old best friend, Chau Siu-chee. Chau Siu-chee suddenly came. He apparently held a grudge against Ko Chun because his challenge to play gambling with him did not get a response from Ko Chun. Chau just wanted to prove that he also deserved the title of the god of gambling.
The Bloody Tragedy that Awakened the Soul of ‘Beast’ Ko Chun
Long story short, Ko Chun’s wife died as a result of Chau in a very cruel way. The fetus that is being conceived by the wife is also removed and stored in a large clear glass jar. Ko Chun was very angry and sad when he found his wife who was dying and the fetus in front of him.

In his dying condition, his wife told Ko Chun to never gamble again and keep Ko Chun’s real identity hidden for 1 year. He also advised not to have a grudge against someone with a demonic heart who had harmed him and killed their future child. With a heavy heart, Ko Chun agreed.
Right after 1 year of the death of his wife and child, Ko Chun immediately finished his revenge by coming first to Taiwan and then to the Mainland.
Ko Chun’s meeting with Hoi On
There is a tragic incident that occurs when Ko Chun is on board the chartered boat Hoi On, a gambling boss who turns out to be Chau’s tough competitor. At that time Hoi On was traveling to Taiwan to take his two young children.
This tragic event was apparently part of Chau’s rotten plan. As a result of this incident, Hoi On and his daughter were killed. Hoi also instructed Ko Chun to bring the only surviving prince to Taiwan and meet his eldest son who had gone to Taiwan first. Ko Chu is ready to deliver.
Ko Chun and his young son Hoi On arrive at a small motel. He then meets some other figures who later become friends of Ko Chun. After escorting the prince of Hoi On, Ko Chun along with his new friends immediately went to Chau’s headquarters to take revenge.
Chau himself is unsure of his gambling skills. He is pessimistic about beating Ko Chun. In order to defeat Ko Chun, Chau then asked for help from Cheung Po Sing, who has telekinetic abilities like Sing, especially in changing gambling cards.
The Best Gambling God Movie Twist Plot
The day of revenge arrived. Ko Chun arrives at Chau’s large casino. Inside the casino, there are great gamblers from all over the world. The plot twist in this film is when the scene of Cheung Po changes the card of the gambling god. It seems that this scene is nothing like what the audience expected.
The reason is apparently that Cheung Po is not a figure with telekinetic abilities. He only pretended to be a figure to trick Chau. He was apparently Ko Chun’s subordinate when he was still living in Paris.
