Chapter 199
Dice, Blackjack, Roulette, Poker, slot machines, and many more games on the cruise .
Casual betting is for fun . If it gets serious, one will lose the entire family’s fortune . Wang Xian and Lan Qingyue came here to have some fun . It would be a pleasant experience for them too .
Wang Xian had never been exposed to gambling before, so he was a little curious about it . But he was not expecting he could earn money with this .
In fact, given Wang Xian’s current ability, he was unable to make money with gambling as well .
He was not the God of Gamblers . He might possess a mighty strength, but this had no relationship with gambling skills .
He did not have any supernatural power to change a card, just like how they did in the movies . In the movies, the actors memorized the cards . But even if Wang Xian had a good memory, this was not a movie after all .
The bottom card could not be seen when the dealer shuffles the cards .
In reality, the casinos would not cheat, except to earn money by using a certain probability .
This probability could guarantee that they could make money out of it .
Of course, each casino would have a gambling master to prevent others from cheating or making trouble in the casinos .
Wang Xian and Lan Qingyue, with a beaming face, came to exchange one million worth of chips .
“Let’s see if we can win some money!” Lan Qingyue exclaimed with a smile .
“This isn’t easy . Let’s go and play something simple!” Wang Xian said as he went to the Sic Bo table . [1]
Sic Bo is a simple game that bets on the total scores of the dice . 4 to 10 total score will make a “Small,” while 11 to 17 will make a “Big . ” You can even bet on specific scores, and the payouts are different .
Two of them came to the table with six people gathered around . They were placing bets, and shouting ‘Big’ and ‘Small . ’
Among them, some of the men were hugging young and beautiful women .
Some of them wore low-cut dresses . They leaned their bodies on the men with alluring expressions .
“Finalize your bets now!” the dealer said to the crowd around the table .
When Wang Xian saw the crowd placing their bets, he looked over his shoulder and said to Lan Qingyue, “Let’s play this . Big or Small?”
“Big!” Lan Qingyue chuckled as she said .
“Okay, we’ll bet $50,000 and try our luck!” Wang Xian smiled and placed five chips on ‘Big . ’
“One, two, four . 7 points, small!”
After he placed the bets, the dealer opened the cage and counted the points before she announced the outcome to everyone .
“Oh, Xiao Xian . We lost!” Upon seeing the result, Lan Qingyue pouted and spoke grumpily .
“Haha, it’s fine . It’s my turn . ”
Wang Xian laughed as the dealer continued to roll the dice . With some hesitation, he continued, “This time, we’ll still bet on ‘Big!’”
“Two, two, four . Eight points, Small!”
The result was out, and Wang Xian was speechless . He’d lost again!
“Your turn next!” Wang Xian said with a bitter look on his face .
“Sure . ” Lan Qingyue smiled .
“Let’s go somewhere else!”
After more than ten consecutive rounds, they had lost $200,000 . Wang Xian went to other gambling tables without any choices .
“Sure, you really don’t have the luck . Hehe, I didn’t lose that much!”
“Eh…”
Wang Xian lost his words . A loss is still a loss no matter how much you lose!
“There’s a fishing slot machine over there . Let’s play that!”
Wang Xian saw the fishing slot machines not far away from them . He had seen those in his hometown, but he had never tried before .
After he played those machines, Wang Xian was left with only $200,000 worth of chips . He’d lost about $700,000 within an hour .
He had to admit that gambling was losing more than winning .
“We still have the last 20 chips . Let’s get our base money back . ”
Wang Xian was not too mindful about losing money . He went back excitedly to the place where they’d bet on the dice .
There were four young men and five middle-aged men at the table . Wang Xian walked over and sat at the side .
Lan Qingyue was standing and watching him play from the side with smiles .
“Finalize your bets!” The dealer’s voice was heard again . Wang Xian looked around as he beamed . He then placed his bet on the Small .
“Four, five, six . 15 points, Big!”
“Haha, I told you it’s Big again!” At this moment, a young man laughed out loud . He stood up and collected all the chips with a stuck-up look .
“Awesome, you’re indeed someone who uses hidden weapons!”
The few young men beside him praised him with envy .
The young man immediately revealed a conceited look . He drew his lips slightly, “It is worth it to practice for so long . Finally, I see some results!”
“If you can place your attention on your cultivation, I’m sure you can surpass your current strength today,” a young man quipped at him .
“Why do people lead such tiring lives? Just have fun in the things you’re interested in . No matter what, I don’t have anything to worry about for the rest of my life!”
The young man was chic as he held a chip in his hand . Suddenly, he looked at Lan Qingyue, who was diagonal across from him . “Right, beauty?”
He flicked his finger, and the chip shot in a straight and precise direction to the clothes under Lan Qingyue’s neck .
“Haha, gambling and beauty . How cool is Brother Zhu!” The young men beside him chuckled and commented .
Piak!
When Wang Xian saw the flying chip, he frowned and reached out to receive it .
The chip said twenty . That represented $200,000, which was the biggest denomination chip over here .
“Do not litter!” Wang Xian narrowed his eyes and threw the chip in the garbage bin at the side .
The young man, who was laughing, drew his lips slightly when he saw Wang Xian throw his chip away after receiving it . He then sized Wang Xian and Lan Qingyue up with a face full of smiles .
“Haha, you just got a slap in your face . ” The rest of the young men chuckled at what they saw .
That young man waved his hand as he was not bothered by it .
“Big or small . Finalize your bet!”
At this time, the dealer was heard again .
Wang Xian looked over and threw a few chips on the ‘Small . ’
“Let’s just place any bets!”
That young man looked at Wang Xian . Just now, he did not listen to the sound of the dice . Hence, he just placed $200,000 worth of chips on ‘Big . ’
“Three, five, six . 14 points, Big!”
“Haha, my luck is good . I can even win when I just placed my bet anyhow!”
The young man chuckled once again . With a playful look, he stared at Wang Xian . “Brat, you’re out of luck today!”
Wang Xian cast a cold glance at the young man and ignored him .
“Xiao Xian, let’s forget about them!” Lan Qingyue popped over and reminded him with a whisper .
Wang Xian smiled and nodded . He would not dampen his mood just because of a few pieces of garbage over there .
“It’s okay . Let’s carry on!”
Wang Xian saw that the dealer had rolled the dice . He took out another five chips and placed them on ‘Small . ’
“Tsk, Brat, you’re garbage!”
At the same time, the young man sitting diagonally opposite him shook his head . He then placed his chip on ‘Big’ with beaming expressions .
“One, four, six . 11 points, Big!”
The dealer opened the hood and announced the outcome loudly .
