Gambling in the Street

While we were strolling along the riverbank promenade in Hue, we saw a group of people intensely involved in some activity.  When we approached, we saw what they were doing.

The man who was running the game put some tokens in the cup, shook it, and people bet on the number that came up.

Around the people who were actually gambling a group of spectators formed.  They were so involved in what they were doing, that they ignored me.

This young man was deciding whether to bet.

Women were betting alongside men.  After a while a tough-looking young man did notice that I was taking pictures and told me to stop, but no one else cared.
