Huh? You think it means I pray this (=the coin) will multiply through you (=the other gambler)

You are just making that up!

The latin words for "pray" are intecedor, peto, posco,adoro, oro, and supplico.

The latin for "to multiply" is "multiplico, cresco or augeor"

Haes means "fixed in place, lingering, clinging (like velcro)" from the verb haereo.

Auctor means "creator, maker, father"

Colam means "to a place called Cola, or a coloring, or to a place He has designed".

How did you make that translation, anyway? You should use a LOL tag when you're joking around.

I read that as "haec" as in "hic, haec, hoc". I have no Latin dictionary here and my schoollatin is very rusty. "Auctare" means to "rise steadily" or "make money". That's where I got the multiply from. I can blame that on the language barrier :)
