Chapter 139: The “God of Gamblers” Arrives
Every night, some lucky people would get rich overnight, but more would return in disappointment. This place consumed both money and time, but most people enjoyed it. Even if they had lost a lot the day before, as long as they still had capital, they would come as usual every night. Those who came here were more for the experience, a kind of loneliness.
The gorgeously dressed bunny girls, coming and going, guided the wealthy travelers, their every move flirtatious, making one’s heart itch. If you thought they were alright, you just had to pay a certain amount of chips, and there were corresponding private rooms in this casino for your private enjoyment. These bunny girls also increased their income in this way. The more they did, the more they got. In this place where money was not money, the generous, the depressed, and the casual would all choose to vent their rich emotions here. After a night, the income of these girls was quite considerable.
Seeing that Chen Ran and his group had a certain air about them, many girls had already come up to talk to them, but they were all kindly sent away by Chen Ran. They were here on business tonight.
He casually got more than a hundred gold coins’ worth of chips. Compared to most of the wealthy customers here, Chen Ran’s consumption was almost stingy. But for him, money was something that would come soon.
He had never believed in fate. In his previous life, he had heard of many families who were ruined by debt collectors, so he had a natural aversion to such a speculative business as gambling. He was not here for entertainment this time. He was not a master like the God of Gamblers, Gao Jin. What he knew was only cheating.
Shameless, you say?
I guess so. Chen Ran was here to cause trouble this time. After earning a little capital, Chen Ran would go to the horse racing track to see the most popular gambling project here.
In front of a pinball machine, Chen Ran looked at the several odds holes, the lowest being twice, and the highest being two hundred times. The chips in his hand could be directly inserted into the pinball machine to be exchanged.
The casino also had three types of chips: a copper-colored one worth one gold coin, a silver-colored one worth ten gold coins, and a golden-colored one worth one hundred gold coins. Each small machine had three insertion slots, and you could choose balls of different values.
Chen Ran casually inserted a copper-colored chip and got an ordinary small pinball. Chen Ran pressed the button to select the spring’s strength.
The small steel ball shot out, bouncing in front of the steel pins, rolling down, and falling layer by layer, and then… it fell into the hole with no odds at all.
After four consecutive times, only once did it fall into the two-times hole. Chen Ran found that he was losing a lot, especially the two-hundred-times hole. He observed for a while and found that it was almost impossible to fall into it with the opening of the steel pins. Even the one-hundred-times hole was impossible to fall into.
It was said that the odds of these machines in the casino were set every few days, and the probability of each machine was also different.
Chen Ran didn’t mind. In his opinion, it was at most a matter of winning a few more times.
Although most of these machines were anti-magnetic and could sense magic energy, since Chen Ran dared to come, he naturally had his own preparations.
He casually put on a pair of seemingly ordinary special gloves.
The hand wearing the glove drew a few strokes in front of the reliable steel pins, all the way down to the fifty-times hole. Some gamblers would also do this kind of action, psychologically thinking that they could have a chance to get in.
After all this was done, Chen Ran inserted another coin. And this time, he inserted it into the golden chip hole.
This time, a small golden ball was displayed. Just this one throw was a gamble of a full one hundred gold coins.
Chen Ran pressed the button. The small golden ball immediately drew a “beautiful” trajectory and jumped to the highest point, then began to fall layer by layer.
It was magical. The small golden ball actually rolled down according to the trajectory Chen Ran had set, ignoring some of the smaller pinholes that were easier to slip into. It fell layer by layer, and in the end, it fell directly into the fifty-times odds place.
Five thousand gold was in his hands just like that, faster than robbing a bank.
A prompt appeared, asking if he wanted to take it out. Chen Ran didn’t click confirm, but just took out another golden pinball from it and shot it again.
Then, following the same route as before, the pinball rolled again, and it was fifty times again…
Chen Ran clicked to take it out.
“Clatter clatter clatter…”
The sound of an almost-jackpot. The continuous sound was so pleasant that it attracted a group of people who were playing nearby. Seeing that all the chips that came out were golden, their eyes were red with envy.
In just a few minutes, his net income was almost ten thousand gold coins, which was even better than robbery.
Someone came up to chat.
“I say, brother, your luck is too good. You didn’t hit the one-hundred-times golden pinball hole this time, did you?”
“Damn, that’s so lucky! Ten thousand gold coins!”
“I’m so envious and jealous. Why doesn’t this luck come to me?”
All kinds of vivid expressions. Chen Ran shrugged, indicating that he was just lucky.
Chen Ran walked away with a plate full of chips, leaving behind a group of guys who were trying their luck. But the special energy on it had already disappeared when Chen Ran left. Only a series of frustrated sighs could be heard from behind.
Although he had won a lot this time, ten thousand gold coins was really nothing to a casino. At most, it was just a small loss. But if Chen Ran dared to hit the jackpot on every machine, even just two, there would definitely be trouble. The relevant personnel would be dispatched immediately.
He was just warming up now. He couldn’t expose himself so quickly.
With more than a hundred gold chips, Chen Ran decided to go to the horse racing track to try his luck. It was also the only place where he had the most means to influence the outcome.
He passed through the inner corridor and came to the luxuriously equipped horse racing track.
The scale of the casino’s horse racing track could accommodate up to thirty thousand spectators at most, and every day, more than ten thousand wealthy customers would gather at this horse racing track.
There seemed to be a lot of merchants today. As far as the eye could see, it was full of spectators, and there were boiling cheers everywhere.
“It’s so lively.”
Chen Ran couldn’t help but be stunned by the scene here. This atmosphere couldn’t help but remind him of the lively scene of the World Cup in his original world.
Chen Ran didn’t have much research on watching horses. He casually looked at the twenty horses chasing on the field.
The people who participated in horse racing were generally famous jockeys in the city, and the racehorses were all carefully bred purebreds, specially used for equestrian competitions. The jockeys received a certain amount of remuneration for each night’s race. The higher the ranking, the more the reward.
According to Leif’s men, this kind of competition seemed fair, but there were still some tricks.
In fact, among the twenty people, two were jockeys who were usually trained by the bookmaker themselves. They were often skilled in riding but pretended to be of average level. On the surface, they were very low-key and were “state-type” contestants. But the dark horses that usually appeared in the night races were often them. They controlled the odds for the bookmaker, so that the bookmaker could earn more. But on the surface, it was not visible at all.
After watching for a while, Chen Ran neatly went to place a bet.
