Who should be worshipping Er-Ge Feng?
1) 1st and foremost, Worshipping / Venerating, or Praying to Er-Ge Feng is the personal matters of Er-Ge Feng's descendents and the Teochew People of Qi-Yuan Village (淇园村) in Chao-An Area in China.
2) Secondly, the Thai Government should pay respect to Er-Ge Feng for his past constributions to Siam's Economy
3) Outsiders, who are not direct descendants, nor beneficiaries of his past contributions and charities, can pay homage / respect to him, so as to remind yourself to be like him, to do good to society and do more charities, not praying to him (by threating him as a God / Deity) so that You can Win In The Casino or The Lottery.

How History gone wrong and Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰) end up as "God Of Gambler" ?
The Central Police Station at Bangkok Chinatown (with the Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰)'s Shrine at the 4th floor) was once Senior Official Rong-Lu Mansion (荣禄大夫府) belonged to Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰), and later donated to Siam Government. The Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰)'s Shrine is so-called the “Main” Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰) Shrine / Temple.
There was a Teochew Guy, named Hia-Mao (茂兄) who started the cult of Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰) as "God Of Gambler" ..
Here Goes The Story:-
"A Teochew guy, named Hia-Mao (茂兄), during the period of his Police Detention, he often dreamed of an old man, and he always felt that the old man was following him. When his family released him on bail, he went straight to the top floor and found a dilapidated small temple.
When he walked forward and took a look, he enshrined an old photo of the old man in front of the altar. He was shocked immediately. Wasn't the person in the photo the old man in the dream? Brother Mao never worshiped God. When encountering such a situation, he had to light up three sticks of incense to worship and pray; Brother Mao Make a vow to help the society if he cleaned up his act. In the end, Brother Mao was indeed acquitted.
Since then, he has often dreamed that the old man bestowed him with spiritual words, and he had won prizes almost every time. He also followed the instructions of the old man, and after winning the prize, he set aside part of the prize money to do good deeds. Since then, he has gradually become wealthy, everything goes smoothly, and his life is getting better. Today, he is said to have been promoted to the ranks of millionaires.
Since his living environment has improved, he has built temples everywhere. Friends, relatives and friends all responded very much. They raised money to build temples together. So far, there are six Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰) temples all over Thailand. In 2538, they also renovated and rebuilt the old Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰) Temple on the police station, spending a total of about 2 million baht for the faithful from all over the world to worship and pray.
Regarding the Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰) amulets, it was the first one made by Brother Mao to present it to the faithful who have made contributions to the establishment of Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰) Temple.
Brother Mao said: It is not easy to make Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰) Amulets. First, collect holy materials; such as hair. He collected the hair of about three hundred monks. The cassock cloth worn by the monks, plus the holy soil, incense ash, water, etc. collected throughout Thailand, China, Cambodia and other places, and then collected some famous stems and wild vines from the forest.
After processing, all the materials are ground into powder, and then they can be printed into amulets. And every time the Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰) amulet was cast, Brother Mao would personally go to China to "notify" the casting amulet and its purpose in front of Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰)s grave, and toss the rice to ask Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰) for instructions. He can only return to Thailand to cast the amulets Otherwise some unexpected weird things will happen during the casting process.
In addition, Brother Mao would take some tomb soil and infiltrate the materials to cast amulets; and the Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰) amulets after being made were transported in a small truck, and from one state to another, the monks were asked to recite the scriptures and the number of monks blessed. No less than a hundred.
Needless to say, it turns out that the reason why Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰) amulets has the title of God of Gamblers originated from a famous Cambodian gambling shop called CASINO PAIRIN (CASINO PAIRIN). Grant the "Er Ge Feng God of Gamblers" amulets to give to long-term gamblers.
Thousands of coins have been cast in total; you said it’s not surprising that even the gambling shops have sent "God of Gambling Buddha Cards" to protect gamblers! Brother Mao said: If believers are really down to the limit, they just need to be sincere. He prayed silently to Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰) amulets, and after he had promised the amount he had to win, he could bet; but after he had won the promised amount, he had to stop and leave immediately."
An Amulet or Talisman, with Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰) Image, may work it's magic, is due to the fact that the Spiritual masters who created the amulets / talismans are importing the spiritual energy of other deities or spirits / ghosts into the amulets / talismans, not because of the spirit of Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰) blessing You.
Let the Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰) Image and Statue for You to pay respect for his past contribution to Siam's Economy and charities to his Village in Chao-An Area in China, not praying to him so that You can have benefits. (For this reason, many people would lose interest to wear Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰) Image).
Spiritual Masters, and soon even more Spiritual Masters, are creating Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰) Amulets / Talismans for the same reason - to "donate" (bring in) money for the Spiritual Masters.
Now You know, Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰) was a Man Of Charity, and now a historical figure, not a God Of Gambler (赌神).
There are deities and ghosts that can give You gambling / lottery luck, but not Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰). If You want to Win The Lottery or Gambling, You can pray to deities and spirits / ghosts that bring gambling luck, without Image Of Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰).
By not praying to Er-Ge Feng (二哥丰) as God Of Gambler, You are also respecting Er-Ge Feng and his Descendents.
