Chapter 1273: I got a solution

Casino main lobby.

In a corner.

Zhang Longjuan saw everyone looking at Dong Xuebing, and she smiled. She held his arm and said. “You are famous now. People will hear about what happened tonight. Haha…”

Shen Xiaomei said. “It is useless to be famous.”

Shen Xiaoyan nodded. “We cannot get 200 million USD. Sigh…”

Shen Xiaomei frowned. “They are too much. How can they risk their reputation by stopping the casino? They are targeting us.”

Zhang Longjuan laughed. “They are not stupid. At least they did not attack us directly.”

Shen Xiaoyan looked at Dong Xuebing. “Song Yuhu knows about Mr. Dong’s combat power. He will not attack us directly. Their reputation will be ruined if they do that, and the casino might have to close down. It is different from shutting down the tables and machines.”

Shen Xiaomei looked at Zhang Longjuan. “What should we do about that 200 million USD?”

Dong Xuebing said. “We won around 120 million USD. It is not enough.”

Zhang Longjuan replied. “I am content with how much you won for me today. We will split the money later. Xiao Dong, you will get the bigger share, and the rest is enough for my company to tide a few days. I will think of other solutions.”

Dong Xuebing interrupted. “I said I was not taking anything earlier. We must get 200 million USD. What’s the point of dragging a few more days? It cannot solve the problem.”

Shen Xiaoyan said. “But the main lobby had stopped operating. How are you going to win?”

Shen Xiaomei added. “We could play in the VIP rooms. But who dares to play against you after knowing your skills? The ship is leaving international waters. We don’t have time to win 70 to 80 million USD even if others are willing to play with you.”

Zhang Longjuan nodded. “Haha… we can only play the jackpot machines.”

Dong Xuebing was curious. “Why didn’t they stop the jackpot machines?”

Zhang Longjuan replied. “They stopped the main lobby because they don’t know how skilled you are. They don’t know if you can repeat what happened at the Roulette tables at other tables. That’s why they closed all tables. But jackpot machines are different. It is a money-eating machine. The odds of a Single-number bet at the Roulette table is about 1 out of 38. The odds of winning are higher if you bet on big or small. But slot machines’ odds are too low. Another thing is that no one can cheat at slot machines.”

Dong Xuebing asked. “Are you sure?”

Zhang Longjuan explained. “Even if the machines can be tempered, it will be the casino who can do it. There was an incident in which the wins were controlled by a PC previously. But the casino will not do this.” She paused for a second and said. “Players could not cheat as the numbers were random. All the parts were mechanical, and it was impossible for the player or anybody to control it. I don’t know much about cheating, but the casino knew. That’s why they allowed the slot machines to continue.”

“It is purely based on luck?”

“Yes. This is the only game in the casino that is based purely on luck. Anyone who gambles will not play slots.”

“Is it because there’s no skill involved?”

“Yes. Haha… it is based on luck.”

Dong Xuebing looked at the slot machines and thought for a while. He asked. “Can the strength used when pulling the lever affect the numbers?”

“Their machines accept chips only. I am not sure, as I never played with their machines before. I don’t think it can affect the numbers.”

“Isn’t the strength used to push will affect the position of the symbols?”

“That’s what was shown in the movies. It should be random, and the strength will not make any difference.”

Many casino staff carried seven to eight new slot machines into the lobby. Many were dusty. They should be stored in the store for a while and used as replacement machines. A few dealers started putting casino chips into the machines.

Many guests had no choice but to play the slot machines.

However, Dong Xuebing noticed many guests waiting in line before the new machines were switched on.

Shen Xiaoyan said. “Is there a need to do that?”

Shen Xiaomei looked and asked. “What are they doing?”

Dong Xuebing was puzzled, too. He walked over to look.

A few guests saw Dong Xuebing and greeted him politely.

Dong Xuebing asked. “Why are you all queuing up here? There’s an empty machine there.”

A young man replied. “You should know that someone won the jackpot last month.”

“Yes. I heard about it.”

“It happened on the third of last month. That guy who won the jackpot was playing at another machine. But he did not win. After that, the machine broke down, and the staff brought a new one. He puts in a 10,000 USD chip and wins the jackpot.”

“He won on his first try?”

“Yes. That’s why new machines are popular. Many people felt the chances of winning are higher. Haha… but I think it’s all the same.”

Dong Xuebing asked. “Oh, are the machines here different from other casinos?”

A young woman replied. “It’s about the same except that one accepts chips and others accept coins.”

“What about the strength used when pulling the lever?” Dong Xuebing was concerned as he did not get an answer from Zhang Longjuan.

The woman seemed to know a lot about slot machines. “Strength does not matter. Although you can feel the resistance when pulling or pushing the lever, it was designed to let players think it would affect the results. Electronic circuits controlled everything inside. Once the circuit is closed, the machine will start moving. It has nothing to do with the strength. It is all about luck.”

“Oh, I see. Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it. Teach me how to play Mahjong next time. Haha…”

3rd of last month?

It was a new machine that struck the jackpot.

The strength used when pulling the lever will not affect the result.

The results will be the same as long as a chip is inserted. Dong Xuebing organized the information he got and nodded.

He found a solution.
