Helmed by Wong Jing, the film is the fourth installment of the God of Gamblers film series.
Superstar Chou Yun-fat reprises his role as maverick gambler Ko Chun, complete with signature slick-backed hair and jade pinky ring.
Nicholas Tse, Chapman To, Gao Hu, Jing Tian and Tong Fei rounds up the all star ensemble cast.
Aside from the glamour and excitement of the gambling world, the film carries a moral message at heart warning viewers of the emptiness of a life married to the chips.
Chow is returning to the role of Ko Chun after almost twenty years since his last outing as the flamboyant gambler. Speaking to CRI, Chou says that it was the comedy aspect of the film that drew him the most.
"Actually there is not much gambling in the film. On the contrary it's a comedy. I have acted in many films. This time, I chose to do the film in order to please both myself and Wong Jing. The last comedy I did, "the Eighth Happiness.', that was more than twenty years ago. I'm glad that Wong Jing asked me to be in a film that is sure to crack audiences up."
The film's arrival is perfectly timed to coincide with the Spring Festival on January 31st, 2014.
