Having achieved success and fortune, Michael currently inhabits in a villa previously owned by his Kuwaiti neighbour, Sam, who has gone broke after Iraq's invasion of Kuwait.

While Michael defeats several assassins and successfully escapes with Sing and Tat, Ng was knocked out in an explosion and was abducted by Black Panther.

With the help of Sing, Michael manages to win enough funds from Brother Kau's gambling den and confronts Hussein on his ship the next day to face off with him.

However, Hussein's ship is surveilled with high technology to help him cheat and since Sing lost his supernatural power, Michael loses.

When Michael attempts to calls his mentor in Brazil to expose Hussein to the press, he discovers Tat and Ng have been captured and backs off.

While feeling hopeless, Sam scolds Michael and Sing before returning to Kuwait to fight for his country, which motivates to confront Hussein at his ship again the next day.

Even though the international English title is God of Gamblers II, this is not the direct sequel to the 1989 film starring Chow Yun-fat.

This film is followed by God of Gamblers III: Back to Shanghai, which does not have Andy Lau, but features actress Gong Li in two roles.
