Chen Xi followed Sun Haiming, and not long after leaving, he saw Yang Dan at a gate of the entertainment venue.
"Master Yang, welcome to Wynn Casino!" Sun Haiming made an invitation gesture.
"Why did you bring me here? The person I made an appointment with shouldn't be here." Yang Dan asked unhappily.
"Brother Hua has something to do. He will have to wait for a while before he comes. You can play a few games here first." Sun Haiming explained with a smile on his face.
“Hey, what if I lose? I don’t have that much cash with me.”
"If I lose, it's mine."
"Okay!" Yang Dan was happy when he heard this. Who would care about the free chips.
This kid... I think he was deceived. The Junket Operator asked people to come to the casino. He must be trying to get results. No matter how rich Yang Dingtian is, it's not enough to lose. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk ~
What about talking about business? Yang Dan has the brains to talk about business...
Chen Xi, who was hiding in the distance, was wearing the mask he got from the service desk and touching his chin. Thinking.
Seeing several people walking towards a door, Chen Xi slowly followed them.
"Sir, this is a VIP room, please show your membership card." A Southeast Asian doorman stopped him.
Shit, I forgot to ask for a membership card to enter...
Wait...
Chen Xi suddenly thought of something and subconsciously took out his wallet. The Crown black card given by Ma Yueling before was included.
"This...is not our membership card, sorry!" The guard picked up the card and looked at it, then smiled at Chen Xi.
"Look carefully, there is a signature on it." Chen Xi pointed to Ma Yueling's name on it.
"What's going on?" At this time, a man in a suit came over. He looked at Chen Xi's black card, thought for a while and then looked at Chen Xi carefully, and immediately changed He said with a smile: "Welcome to the VIP room!"
The next second, the door was opened, Chen Xi thanked him and walked in.
There are very few tables in the VIP room, but the ante on each table is very high. It is similar to the VIP room in Crwon, Tu'ao, but with a different name and an extra Junket Operator to serve you. .
"Damn it, you're idle again! I've opened thirteen games in a row, and I've lost more than ten million!" A fat man angrily threw the cards in his hand on the table, and then left angrily. .
"Haha, if you don't follow such a good path, you have to fight in reverse. Dragon slaying is not that easy." A man eating claypot rice laughed.
Beside the man, there were several men and women smoking cigarettes and frowning at the game screen.
The VIP room is different from the vegetable market outside. You can neither take pictures with your mobile phone nor smoke casually outside, and you have to be far away from the counter to make phone calls.
But here you can do whatever you want. You can call for half an hour, and the dealer will wait for you to open the cards with a smile on his face. If it were at the vegetable market, the dealer would have been cursing.
So, in Australia, if you have money, you are the boss. If you don’t have money, you can only lie down on the Paralyzed Avenue.
Chen Xi took a casual glance and spotted Yang Dan who had just sat down, while Sun Haiming walked over with a pile of chips.
"Young Master Yang, do you know how to play? Do you want me to teach you?" Sun Haiming asked kindly.
"You think I'm a country bumpkin? I've played abroad, and I still need you to teach me?" Yang Dan said disdainfully, and casually put 100,000 yuan on the banker.
"..." Sun Haiming was completely speechless when he saw this. This idiot just placed a bet without even looking at the path. He also expected the other party to help him make more money.
"Damn it, it's poisonous. I'll lose at eight points." Yang Dan knelt down in the first round.
"It's okay, Mr. Yang, it's just the first round. Eight loses nine, it happens often, doesn't it? Let's look at the path first and then attack. Brother Hua will still have some time to come." Sun Haiming looked at it. said the watch.
"Two hundred thousand, I want to pass three levels!" Yang Dan ignored the other party and doubled his bet.
Oh, damn, you know how to pass three levels. You don’t look like a novice, but you are a fool!
Sun Haiming was happy after hearing Yang Dan's words.
"Holy shit, are you cheating? Why did you kill me again!" Yang Dan opened a 7 o'clock this time, but was instantly killed by 8 o'clock. He slammed the table hard and looked at the dealer and said .
The dealer did not speak, but looked at Yang Dan with a smile. His professional ethics was quite good.
These are all big customers. Generally, dealers will not offend anyone. Even if they are scolded, they can only swallow their anger.
"How could it be? This is a regular place, and any outcome of the red or blue game is possible. I suggest you look at the path before playing." Sun Haiming persuaded him from the side.
"Look at it, I don't know how to read that thing. You think I haven't studied mathematics. It's like tossing a coin. It's either heads or tails. The small probability is in the middle." Yang Although Dan is a fool, there is still some truth in what he said. Novices who don't know the way often win money, but today he seems to be a bit unlucky.
Chen Xi sat at the bar in the distance, pulled down the hood of his coat, covering half of his head, and looked at the situation there leisurely.
Yang Dan was good at math when he was in school, and he was still among the top in the class. Everyone has their own strengths, and he was no exception.
According to the next routine, this Sun Haiming should still sign a code for Yang Dan, but this code is not given for free, it requires a contract and an IOU.
Chen Xi is very familiar with Junket Operator's routine. The other party will give you free chips first, so that you can relax your vigilance and get on the boat first. When you are almost done with losing, he will ask you to continue signing and issuing IOUs. , most people will agree after hesitation.
What should I do if I lose again?
They will implement the next step, which is to let you borrow money first, then take you to play, and then pay him back after winning the money.
This loan is different from the previous IOU. To issue an IOU and sign a contract, you need to get the code in the VIP room. To borrow a loan, you need to borrow from a local financial company, which is the so-called usury. There is a type of loan shark called Jiu Chu Shi San Gui, whose interest rates are much higher than normal bank loans or private loans.
Nine Outs: It means that if the borrower needs to borrow 10 yuan, the actual amount may be much greater than this. The loan shark only lends 9 yuan, which is equivalent to the borrower having already lost 1 yuan when borrowing. This 1 yuan Usually deducted as a processing fee or deposit.
Thirteen Returns: Refers to the fact that the borrower needs to return 13 yuan when the loan is due. This includes the interest of the original loan of 9 yuan and 3 yuan (assuming that the loan period is 3 months and the monthly interest is 1 yuan). Therefore, the actual interest paid by the borrower is 4 yuan (13 yuan-9 yuan), which is equivalent to 44.4% of the original loan amount (4 yuan/9 yuan).
How can you let customers borrow money with such a high interest rate?
They will give you matching products, which are platform soles.
So what is the bottom line?
In order to circumvent the betting limit and pursue higher returns, gamblers will conduct under-the-table betting transactions with private bookmakers or casino staff. This kind of transaction is usually carried out in a leveraged manner, that is, the amount won by the gambler on the table will be multiplied by a multiple as the profit from the gambling under the table.
Usually, there are three and four in the bottom of the table. If you win a hand on the table, the private banker will pay you three times, and vice versa if you lose.
Some bosses are not satisfied with this small multiple, and will find several underpinning companies to fight together, that is, they will pay more than ten, twenty, or even thirty for one loss.
However, off-the-counter gambling transactions are not subject to official supervision in Australia, so the profits can evade the high gaming tax. This is one of the reasons why gamblers and casino staff are willing to engage in such transactions.
Betting transactions under the table lack legal supervision and protection, so there are great risks and uncertainties. Some private dealers see that your winnings are too big, so they will refuse to pay. This kind of thing is common. After all, you are on someone else's territory, and you can't do anything to others.
"Haha, I won. Sure enough, it can only be three!" In the third round, Yang Dan was lucky. He opened a nine point and instantly killed the opponent.
"Let me tell you, how can it be possible that you have always been so unlucky." Sun Haiming also had a smile on his face. Their performance is all based on turnover. He is happy when customers win money, because winning money means that they can continue to place bets. The purpose of lending is to let customers make turnover.
Just like that, it only took about ten minutes to go back and forth. Yang Dan lost all the stud games because of greed.
"Young Master Yang, how about we sit down for a while and wait for Brother Hua to come?" Sun Haiming did not mention the chips, but instead advised the other party not to play.
“Can’t you sign the code? Give me more signs.” Yang Dan was so angry that he wanted to win money.
"This... my quota is limited. If I sign again, I will have to write a note." Sun Haiming looked embarrassed.
“If you make a note, just make a note. If you win, you don’t have to pay it back.”
"That's the truth... But it's your first time, Mr. Yang, and the quota is only five hundred thousand!"
"Fifty thousand is useless, so give me one million first."< br>
"This...Okay, okay, please wait a moment." Sun Haiming had a bitter look on his face, but his heart was filled with joy.
As for what he said before about being a fellow countryman and not being a fellow countryman, that was all his farts.
Soon, one million was brought. Although this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for the Yang family, it is not a small amount of money for Yang Dan. His monthly pocket money is actually limited. If it is not enough, he can only go to his sister Yang Qing to get it. As for Yang Dingtian, he would not give his son any money at all, which is what most fathers would do.
Oops, why is this kid so obsessed with this thing?
It seems that he was not so addicted when he was in Acun before...
Chen Xi gloated and ordered a drink and sat there watching everything happily.
"Hello, do you need a signature? With your membership level, we can maximize your gaming experience." At this time, a handsome middle-aged man came over.
"No, thank you." Chen Xi shook his head and refused.
"I am the owner of the hall. Naturally, we have to treat VIPs like you well when they come. Seeing that you have been sitting here without playing, are you dissatisfied with our service?" The man spoke very politely, all because of Chen Xi of that card.
It can be regarded as representing Ma Yueling. In Australia, everyone wants to give the Ma family three points of noodles.
"I'm very satisfied. I'm waiting for my friends. I'll consider whether to play or not later."
"Okay, you can come to me anytime if you need anything. I'll say hello to the staff here. "Yes." The man didn't force it and left with a smile.
It is no exaggeration to say that according to the level of this card, you can sign any number you want. Just ask Ma Yueling in advance.
"Haha, I won, here's one million! I'll give it back to you first." Ten minutes later, Yang Dan magically won the money, and also pushed one million chips to Sun Haiming in advance, which meant that he now had The remaining chips are all for free.
“Hey, this is a good road, I’ll buy the bank!” At this moment, a fat man walked to the table where Yang Dan was sitting. He looked at the road map on the screen and bet on it without hesitation. Go to the village.
This bet is 510,000, which is exactly 10,000 more than Yang Dan.
Generally, whoever presses the most is the one who sees the cards. The fat man's behavior is obviously provoking.
“Damn it, I want to see the cards!” Yang Dan cursed and raised another hundred thousand.
"Let me take a look. I'm lucky. You're so thin, so you're not suitable for reading cards. Card readers need to sit steady, and only my weight is stable." The fat man sat down with a smile and rubbed the table with his fat palms. tablecloth.
"I pressed first, are you looking for trouble?" Yang Dan responded angrily.
"I have more chips than you here. As much as you want to press, I will press 10,000 more than you." The fat man continued to provoke Yang Dan.
"Okay, be ruthless, I'll take advantage of you!" Yang Dan changed the position of the chip he pushed up, and now the two of them became hostile.
"Haha." The fat man said nothing, just smiled, and then motioned to the dealer to open the cards.
Everyone, the player opens the cards first, and the banker opens the cards last.
Yang Dan started with five points, and Fatty had four points.
This kind of card Yang Dan has a very high chance of winning. As long as you make up a doll, you can win directly.
But fate always plays tricks on people. Yang Dan made up a double hand, which means that it is either the maximum point or the minimum point.
"Blow~blow~" Sun Haiming sat aside and cheered Yang Dan up. As long as a four was drawn, it would be nine points.
After playing "fuck" for half a minute, Yang Dan angrily threw away the card in his hand, which turned out to be a five. The sum of Player's three cards becomes zero.
"Hahaha, I won't lose." After the fat man read it, he almost died from laughter.
"What's so funny? Maybe if you get a six, then everyone will be tied." Yang Dan pretended to be calm.
"Haha, you thought I was you, I'm really a threesome." The fat man didn't even smile a few times, but his expression turned ugly.
If you get a three-sided card, it may be six, seven, or eight.
If it opens to six, it will be zero points. Yang Dan will not lose money, and he will not win any money.
But how could the fat man let go of the opportunity to win money? He now had a two-thirds chance of winning, so he calmed down and started reading cards.
"Blow, blow, blow~" Yang Dan stared at the fat man and muttered quietly.
"Haha, I'm sorry, it's Zhang Qi!" A minute later, the fat man grinned at Yang Dan, then turned over his playing cards and waved them in front of the opponent. .
It is indeed a 7 of spades.
That means the player wins with zero points and the banker wins with one point.
"Fuck" Yang Dan cursed and watched helplessly as the croupier took away his chips.
"Young Master Yang, look..." Sun Haiming showed the chips in front of him just right.
"Bring it here, I'll play first and kill him." Yang Dan was already on the move at this time, snatched the chips in front of him, pressed them on Xian without hesitation, and said: “Come back when you have the guts!”
“Hey, I just want to play banker. , let’s do it again. Young people are young people. You must be a novice at first glance! This is a place where everyone is trying to make money together. You must fight against me today. Let you remember it for a long time." The fat man said extremely arrogantly.
But what the fat man said was right. He came to a place like this to seek money. Only novices would get angry and fight other players.
Hey, this kid...
I have never been so stupid before, and I can't even think of borrowing money to play.
Chen Xi from a distance looked at all this and couldn't help but smile and shook his head. (End of this chapter)
