At night.
International Waters.
In Cruise Ship, the casino is open.
The huge gambling hall was packed with people. The croupiers were all ready and the staff were on standby. For a while, many gambling tables were occupied.
It's time to start. The Power of Time and Wealth 1245
The atmosphere was very high.
"Let's go Little Dong."
"Okay, you have fun."
"Okay, I'll find you later."
"Well, then I'll go take a look."
The two of them separated. Anyway, Big Sister Zhang was just warming up and had no intention of placing a big bet. It didn't matter whether Dong Xuebin paid attention or not.
Many tables in the hall are Baccarat.
Zhang Longjuan and Shen Xiaomei went to one of the tables.
Dong Xuebin didn't go there because he didn't understand the rules of baccarat very well. He looked around and saw 21 Point and the roulette wheel. He didn't go there either. Instead, he blinked and walked to the many rows of Slot Machine in the corner. Over at, there are about dozens of machines. There are a lot of people playing, and half of them are occupied. I have never played Slot Machine Dong Xuebin, so I feel a little dizzy when I look at the patterns that seem to be different on each machine.
Snap.
A person put in a $1,000 chip, and when he turned the joystick on his hand, the Slot Machine pattern started spinning rapidly, and finally stopped.
The colors are very messy.
The man showed a helpless expression, obviously he missed.
Someone next to me also threw in chips, and in the end the result was the same.
Dong Xuebin looked at it for a while and roughly understood something. What Sister Zhang said was that the gameplay here is different from other casinos. Slot Machine betting here does not involve throwing coins. It's not just a few bucks. They actually put in the chips. After the chips are put in, the machine will automatically detect it, and it will only be able to rock the stick after a beep. The joystick is not like that in ordinary casinos, which is pulled and released, but is horizontal and has to be pushed. That's a chip worth a thousand dollars. If we were to get the biggest prize, I don't know how much it would be. Taking into account the odds, it would be astronomical. Of course, it would be almost impossible to win the big prize. Everyone knows this.
After watching for a long time, no one won the prize.
Dong Xuebin was secretly shocked to see the chips being eaten one by one. These people were really desperate for their lives. How much does it cost?
But suddenly, there was a ding-ding-ding sound!
A middle-aged woman over there laughed, it seemed to be a Slot Machine with a fruit pattern, I don't know what kind of pattern it was, and she cheered. About a hundred chips suddenly poured out from underneath. The woman collected them one by one and put them into the box, changed to a machine and continued playing. The Power of Time and Wealth 1245
One hundred chips?
Although it is the lowest one, it is still one hundred thousand US dollars!
That's hundreds of thousands of RMB! Got it in such a short time?
Everyone around looked at the middle-aged woman. He seems to be envious of her luck, but this amount of prize money is obviously not a grand prize. It must be the kind with low odds, otherwise it wouldn't be as simple as just one hundred thousand US dollars. But it's not bad. Many people saw this and moved towards Slot Machine. After only a few minutes, dozens of Slot Machines were actually filled with people. As expected, it is called the most profitable game in the casino like baccarat. Although they knew that the chance of winning money was slim, everyone still couldn't help but take a chance.
But what Dong Xuebin noticed was that there was no one sitting on one of the Slot Machines. There was a person queuing behind the other person, but he didn't sit on that table.
All that's left is an empty machine.
Dong Xuebin is a little confused, the machine is broken?
But when I walked up and took a look, I saw that the machine was fine. Why was no one sitting on it?
Dong Xuebin was just idle and wanted to play. But when he saw the situation, he hesitated a little. He was thinking that this machine could take advantage of it, right? This guy used to go to the game arcade when he was in school, and sometimes he would encounter situations where the machine would not respond after inserting coins. Jingcheng Dialect called "eating coins", so he stared at it for a long time without daring to sit down. Others didn't go, so it must be reasonable.
At this time, the waiting young man glanced at Dong Xuebin, "Are you waiting too?"
Dong Xuebin hummed and took the opportunity to say, "By the way, isn't this machine empty? Why don't you go?"
The young man said oh and explained, "This machine won 777, the biggest prize, once a month ago, so no one went there."
"777?" Dong Xuebin said, "How much does it cost?"
The young man said without thinking, "One hundred million US Dollar, an integer."
Dong Xuebin said in astonishment, "One hundred million? How come there are so many?"
The young man said, "That person threw it with 10,000 chips. The odds were high and the bonus was large. If he had thrown it with 1,000 chips, it would only be 10 million US dollars. That person was very lucky and caught up."
I'm going!
One hundred million dollars!
That's hundreds of millions of yuan!
So the casino won't pay you to death? No, they don't seem to be paying compensation. Dong Xuebin You can understand it as soon as you think about it. One hundred million US dollars seems like a lot, but how much does this set of machines earn in one day? There are dozens of units, and this night is estimated to be hundreds of millions. It can reach hundreds of millions of dollars in one day. Even if Gambling Ship is opened once every ten days, it will bring in 300 to 400 million yuan a month. Even relatively speaking, if someone wins 100 million, it will drive everyone crazy. Just these Slot Machines may make more than 300 to 400 million a month. If the net profit of other small prizes is also thrown in, it is still profitable! 100 million a month is stable!
Dong Xuebin said, "Because there are no chips out, that's why everyone stops playing this game?"
"That's not the reason." The young man said, "The chips in each round here are at least one thousand, which is relatively high, so some of the rules are relatively different. Didn't you notice that their machines are all made by themselves? It is different from Slot Machine in general casinos. Every time they open for one day, the chips in the jackpot will be filled up, so as long as you can win the prize, you don't have to worry about no chips coming out. The odds are also fixed, and the ratio is not calculated according to the chips that Slot Machine takes in every day." The Power of Time and Wealth 1245
Dong Xuebin said strangely, "Then this machine should have a lot of people? At least it has won the prize once."
The young man chuckled and said, "Don't think so. Do you know how low the probability of winning 777 is? Gambling Ship has been open for several months, but it only won once last month. This is almost a matter of luck, so if a machine that has won once has won the next time, the probability is extremely low, so no one comes."
That's it.
Dong Xuebin probably understands, but also smiles a little bitterly. If the probability of each machine is the same, then even the machine that has won the jackpot will be no different from other machines. This can be explained by statistics. At most, it is just the psychological effect of everyone.
never mind.
Let it be.
Only this one was empty, so Dong Xuebin sat on it.
The young man next to him didn't persuade him, because the man in front left, and the young man also sat on it and started playing.
Dong Xuebin It was my first time to play, so I fumbled around a bit, looked at the coin slot, and painfully threw a $1,000 chip in my hand.
There was a beeping sound.
The machine displayed a "1".
Dong Xuebin touched the lever and pushed it, and the machine pattern immediately started to rotate!
Snoring, snoring, in the end, Dong Xuebin didn't even see the "7", it was all other things. When it finally stopped, the machine didn't respond at all. Although it was still in the fog, Dong Xuebin also knew that he had missed, and the one thousand US dollars was just gone. It was really heartbreaking.
Played again.
Still didn't win.
Dong Xuebin shook his head and stood up, knowing that this Slot Machine was so ridiculous that it was impossible to win the grand prize. He might as well play something else.
As soon as I turned around, I saw Zhang Longjuan.
Big Sister Zhang smiled and said, "Why are you playing Slot Machine?"
Dong Xuebin said, "You don't need to use your brain for this, just playing around."
In fact, Dong Xuebin wanted to share the pressure with Zhang Longjuan if he won a big prize and help her company get out of trouble. That would be the best.
Zhang Longjuan smiled and took his hand, pulling him to go somewhere else, "Actually, I don't recommend playing this."
"Why?"
"Because they made the Slot Machine by themselves, right? You see it? It's not a coin toss, but a chip player. The machine operates differently from other Slot Machines, and the rules are also different. They are all made by themselves. Even though the odds are more tempting, the small prizes seem to be much higher than other Slot Machines, but you are still not sure about things you haven't touched, because you don't have to be too stable, understand?"
"You said there was something fishy?"
"I don't know. I'm sure I won't win the grand prize anyway."
"Didn't you say that someone got hit last month?"
"How many chips did you eat before you won one? What's the difference between this and an impossible win?" Zhang Longjuan smiled. "I still like gambling that I can control, such as blackjack. It's not just a matter of luck. Gambling skills and experience also play a big role. Only in this way can I master it." Haha, the eldest sister also knows that the odds are high here Slot Machine, maybe one win can solve my company's problem, but if the eldest sister counts it as 10,000 chips, it will only be 500, can't you just bet on luck? And you can't win even if you bet, eldest sister is not that blind. "
Zhang Longjuan is very calm, he has always been like this, and he naturally sees things more clearly than others.
Dong Xuebin nodded and agreed with Big Sister Zhang. Instead of playing Slot Machine with almost no technical content, it is better to get something that you can control yourself.
"Have you warmed up yet?" Dong Xuebin asked.
Zhang Longjuan moved his fingers, "It's not bad, let's play with the outfield again."
Dong Xuebin looked at the box behind Shen Xiaomei, "Do you still have chips..."
Zhang Longjuan smiled and said, "It's a little more, about 56,700,000."
Dong Xuebin said with shame, "You won six or seven hundred thousand in such a short time? Or is it US dollars?"
"I'm not too lucky." Zhang Longjuan said with a smile, "I won some in baccarat, and some in blackjack, but I lost in roulette, otherwise I could have won more."
"This is a good record."
"It's far from it. Sister's goal today is 100 million U. S. dollars. We have to go to VIP Room soon. Otherwise, there are only two possibilities for such a small game. One is to lose all the money, and the other is to win not much."
"There will definitely be no problem if this momentum continues." After hearing that she had won so much, Dong Xuebin also gained a lot of confidence in Zhang Longjuan. (To be continued
