When Chen Hai and his party arrived at Haizhu City, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.
By the time we finished eating and crossed the border to Haojiang River, the lanterns had already started to light up and night had completely fallen.
However, Haojiang Casino is a city that never sleeps.
Here, compared with the day, it seems more lively at night.
There are no other high-end industries in this city, and the gaming industry is the backbone of this place.
The entire region has a total population of about 500,000.
However, there are nearly 60,000 people directly employed in the gaming industry. Including those indirectly employed and those who rely on the gaming industry for a living, the total number exceeds 100,000.
As long as you step into the territory of Haojiang and want to find a casino to gamble for a few games? There is no difficulty at all. It is as simple as eating and drinking.
Chen Hai and the others had just cleared the customs when some people working in the gaming industry took the initiative to greet them.
After knowing that Chen Hai and others really wanted to go to the casino, these people suddenly became extremely enthusiastic.
For now, there is only one legal operating right for casinos in Haojiang, commonly known as gambling license, and it is in the hands of gambling king He's family.
But there are many gambling halls in the casinos under the gambling king's name, all of which are contracted by others.
After all, he cannot live alone. In order to balance the interests of all parties, he can only share the benefits and allow all parties to enjoy the casino dividends. Only then can his industry continue for a long time.
After choosing a Junket Operator who looked relatively reliable, Chen Hai and his group went to a hotel called Xintiandi.
In terms of chips, he didn't change much, just 50,000 yuan.
After giving Tian Mingjian and Bai Xiaohang 10,000 chips each and letting them play casually, Chen Hai started wandering around in the casino inside the hotel.
There are hundreds of slot machines in casinos.
After wandering around the area, Chen Hai left immediately.
After all, his Taoist skills cannot affect the results of slot machines. If he plays this kind of thing and has a little bad luck, he will lose everything in the blink of an eye.
Roulette, Blackjack, Pai Gow...
Chen Hai wandered around the casino several times. Finally, he stopped at a dice gambling table.
"Big...big..."
"Double... seven singles in a row, this one will definitely be a double!"
"I, Cao Nima, am single again..."
More than ten or twenty people gathered around this gambling table.
Some people looked nervous and kept shouting, some muttered words as if begging God for blessing, and some people looked desperate and cursed on the side.
The gameplay of dice is relatively simple.
After the croupier at the head of the gaming table shakes the dice cup and places it on the gaming table, the surrounding gamblers only need to follow suit and place their bets.
You can bet on big or small, you can bet on odd or even, and you can also bet on fixed points.
On the gambling table, every possible betting method is marked, and each occupies an area.
Whichever gambler wants to bet on, he only needs to place his chips in the corresponding area.
Next to the gambling table, he watched silently for a while, and after roughly understanding the various rules of dice gambling, when a gambler who had lost all his money got up and left, Chen Hai sat down directly on the chair where he was sitting.
"One thousand yuan, order!" Since he had already sat down, he naturally would not be idle. He picked up the chips in his hand, randomly selected an area, and began to place bets.
"Buy and leave, one, one, four, double, six o'clock small..."
A few minutes later, as the gamblers finished placing their bets, the croupier opened the dice cup and reported the points inside.
Not surprisingly, Chen Hai lost this round.
But this was not beyond his expectation. After all, he had never expected to win this round.
He bet one thousand in one round and lost ten rounds in a row.
"Young man, can you do it? If not, come down and give me your seat..."
Next to Chen Hai, there was a fat man in his fifties. After seeing Chen Hai losing all the time, he gloated and joked.
"Who says I can't do it? I guarantee to win this round!"
"Brother, I see that you have also lost a lot. If you want to recover your losses, bet with me and you will win for sure."
Looking back, Chen Hai glanced at the fat man and said with a smile.
"Bet five thousand, I'll bet thirteen!"
This time, Chen Hai made a bet. He did not bet on the big or small, nor on the odd or even, but directly started betting on the points.
If the total points of the three dice are added up to exactly thirteen, he will win. The odds are eight times. The five thousand he bet can directly become forty thousand.
"You are so unlucky that you want me to bet with you. Are you not cheating on me?"
"Do you know what it means to bet on bad luck? Let me tell you, I am watching you get unlucky. If you bet big, I will bet small. If you bet single, I will bet even."
"Just now, I was betting behind your back, and I already won three times in a row."
"You bet thirteen? That's a big bet. I'll follow you and bet five thousand. Just bet a small one."
"Young man, you have to take it easy and don't lose everything too early. Whether I can get my money back or not, I hope it all depends on you."
With a look of scorn on his face, the fat man chuckled. He counted out five thousand chips and threw them directly into the area that represented the small one.
With a chuckle, Chen Hai didn't say much.
The fat man next to him has been following him and betting in the opposite direction. He has been betting several times in a row, so naturally he will not miss it.
Let him bet with you, this is what he said on purpose.
After all, he was absolutely sure that in the eyes of the fat man, he was an unlucky one, and it was impossible for him to follow him and bet on thirteen o'clock.
"Buy and leave, three, four, six, odd, thirteen, big!" Soon, the croupier opened the dice cup and truthfully reported the points inside.
"It's really thirteen o'clock. You kid, are you just lucky?" The fat man beat his chest and felt regretful.
"I asked you to bet with me, but you didn't listen. Why are you betting on bad luck? I lost another five thousand, who's to blame?" Chen Hai joked happily as he put away the winning chips.
He did not choose any other gambling table, but he chose this dice table.
The reason is simple, because he can clearly know what point the dealer shakes out.
The reason why he won this time after losing ten games in a row was because he didn't want to attract too much attention from others.
After all, there are cameras everywhere in this casino. If his behavior of winning money is too abnormal, I believe it won't be long before he will be asked to go aside by the boss behind the casino.
"Young man, what are you betting on this one?"
"Bet nine, pay six times, do you want to follow?"
"Young man, your last bet was eight times your bet. You should be lucky. In this round, do you bet nine? Okay, I'll follow. I'll follow you as much as you bet!"
…
Tilting his head, the fat man thought for a while. He followed Chen Hai and dropped two thousand chips in the area where he bet on nine o'clock.
As expected, he lost this round again.
In the next few games, Chen Hai won and he lost. Chen Hai lost and he also lost.
"Young man, you are so fucking evil. I won't bet with you anymore. I'm going to play over there!"
After swearing several times about bad luck, the fat man cursed and retreated dejectedly, going to another gambling table not far away where he was playing blackjack.
Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, it was already more than an hour later.
That guy Bai Xiaohang has already lost all the 10,000 chips in his hand.
The chips in Tian Mingjian's hand are neither too many nor too few, but they are still there.
After all, he just walked around the casino a few times and didn't actually gamble.
Now the two of them, one on the left and one on the right, have returned to Chen Hai, quietly watching Chen Hai play dice.
For more than an hour at this gambling table, he lost more times than he won.
However, when he lost, he bet one or two thousand, but the last time he won, it was at least tens of thousands.
Before he knew it, the 30,000 chips in his hand had skyrocketed to more than one million.
"Boss, what are you betting on this one?"
Chen Hai won money, and both Bai Xiaohang and Tian Mingjian were equally happy.
Seeing the croupier at the head of the gaming table, after shaking the dice cup and putting it down on the gaming table, Bai Xiaohang tentatively opened his mouth and asked.
"Bet one hundred thousand, just for fun, just bet seventeen!" Chen Hai took out one hundred thousand chips and put them in the betting area lightly.
If it weren't for the betting limit on this gambling table, with one hundred thousand being the limit, it wouldn't be impossible for him to throw in a few more chips.
After all, according to the rules of dice playing, the two numbers four and seventeen have fifty times the odds if they are hit.
Chen Hai bet the 100,000 yuan on 17 points. As long as the bet is successful, he can get back 5 million.
"I bet on seventeen!"
"I'll bet 10,000 on 17!"
…
Following Chen Hai, several people began to place bets.
The large pile of chips in front of Chen Hai is really conspicuous.
After playing at the gambling table here for more than an hour, his good luck was naturally noticed by many interested people.
He has tried his best to keep a low profile. Faced with this situation, Chen Hai also feels a little helpless.
The dealer opposite glanced at Chen Hai meaningfully, and his face also looked a little unattractive.
"Buy and leave, three sixes, leopard, take them all!" After looking away from Chen Hai, the croupier opened the dice cup, revealing the three dices inside.
"This..." Chen Hai's eyes were like a knife, piercing the croupier opposite the gaming table.
He was certain that the three dice he saw in the dice cup when he just left his body were undoubtedly five, six, sixty-seven.
But now, five, six, and six suddenly turned into three six. There is no doubt that the croupier in front of him must have done something to cause this result to happen.
"Mr. Chen, our boss, Bucktooth Zhu, has invited you to the VIP room No. 6. You also have an old friend waiting there!"
Facing Chen Hai's aggressive gaze, the croupier calmly smiled softly and said to Chen Hai.
