YesAsia Editorial Description
Hong Kong Cinema's unique gambling genre had one of its finest moments with King Gambler, an entertaining gambling film starring Shaw Brothers regular Chan Koon Tai. Chan is Peng Tianshi, who becomes the "Card Tyrant" in response to the gambling world dominance of the Sha family. But Peng also has a Sha family member blinded in retaliation for an earlier loss, leaving the Sha family with a debt of vengeance that needs to be repaid! Sha Tong (Zong Hua) sets in motion an elaborate plan to make turn the rich and affluent Peng into a penniless former king of the gambling world! But can the "Card Tyrant" be bested? Director Cheng Kang (The Twelve Gold Medallions) brings sound direction and solid melodrama to King Gambler, a standout gambling film filled with the elaborate gambling duels and deceptions that one expects from this popular Hong Kong Cinema genre!

沙氏家族的賭術千術已達出神入化的境界，沙通（宗華）更是青出於藍而勝於藍，故有「賭王」之譽。不過沙通卻背負一段由賭而來的深仇，其師遭「牌霸」彭天石（陳觀泰）誣告販毒，結果被判刑十多年。沙通矢志為師傅報仇，聲稱將以「老千千老千，騙子騙騙子」的手段對付彭天石……
The Hong Kong The Sting Well, maybe, but this film was actually a lively forerunner to the gambling film craze, which eventually swept Asian cinema. Here, it's cardsharp versus cardsharp, but with a lot more kung-fu action , in battle of wits and fists to become the king of the casino. The double stings and triple crosses raise in complexity and imagination until what started as an unusual box office risk became a top ten hit of 1976.

One of the Best Gambling Movies
| This is the best gambling film from HK. The rest to follow during the 80's and 90's can be forgotten. Director Cheng Kang, the Stanley Kublick of Shaw Bros did very few films but everyone is up to standard. |
