Wow! Sorry for such experience. Its common and i've also fallen for it here in my country. But here they don't use cards. They use matchbox, two empty and one filled matchbox. They hold the filled matchbox up and show it to participants and then shuffle it randomly on the table for you to identify the filled matchbox.
I was passing by this road on a sunny afternoon and saw people gathered. The dealers voice caught my attention and i went to observe what was happening. It didn't take me too long to give in, and i decided to play. When he raise the filled matchbox up, i saw it and my gaze never left that matchbox even as fast as he could try shuffling i was certain i was looking at the filled matchbox. I dropped my bet and boom, it wasn't. No one had to tell me to leave while its still early.
The truth is, some of the people around there watching the game are accomplice. They help make it look real to entice others. Like the guy who kept slamming his hand on the queen i your case is definitely an accomplice.
Well,lesson learnt for you. I'm you never tried that again and you will always advise people against doing such.
Sorry for such experience. You made a good choice by leaving when it was still early. Guess you didn't lose much
Yea @steemsoccershow. I just had to leave knowing it could never be profitable and at least i could still bear the little loss. No need staying there to lose everything
