Chapter 22: Late Night Gambling

Would you like me to win the money? Meng Fan glanced at the neatly arranged slot machine not far away and thought to himself: If I, Meng Fan, want to win money, will there be a little suspense?

However, Meng Fan's self-confidence is only limited to those electronic gambling machines, and he is not sure about the gambling tables such as 21 o'clock, Stud and Baccarat.

"Meng Fan, let's change some chips, or let's go to the slot machine over there to win money?" Su Qian looked left and right, looking curious and excited.

Meng Fan is speechless. Su Qian also has a little qualification as a gambler, at least psychologically correcting the gambler's posture.

However, just play casually. Anyway, it doesn't hurt.

Meng Fan took out 100,000 cash and went to the front desk to exchange chips of various sizes. Most of them were given to Su Qian and the big country, leaving only a small part of himself.

At the beginning, Meng Fan took a lot of effort to bring these cash to Macao. Because the customs stipulates that you can't bring so much cash into Hong Kong and Macao, Meng Fan had to put the money at the bottom of Su Qian's big box, and then did a little tampire on the machine scanning the situation in the box.

Su Qian took the chips and happily walked around the gambling tables. Obviously, she didn't know what to play, so she had to return to Meng Fan and the big country sullenly.

"I can't play. I've only played gambling machines." Su Qian said helplessly.

"Actually, I can't either." The big country is also helpless.

"Let's go, I know all these very well." Meng Fan shook his head and pretended to be sad and said, "I really shouldn't have ruined your two pure children."

At ordinary times, Su Qian used this to make fun of Meng Fan. This time, Meng Fan finally seized the opportunity and fought back.

The gambling table in the lobby on the first floor covers almost all forms of gambling in the world, but the most popular is still Baccarat.

Baccarat generally uses eight decks of cards. Zhuangxian two cards each send two cards. J, Q and K are calculated at zero points, and the others are calculated according to the numbers displayed on the card. The total is closer to the nine-point win. If the opponent's points are not satisfied, you can also ask the dealer to send another card, and up to three cards can be sent.

This game can be played by multiple people. Gamblers bet on 'banker', 'Goneer' or 'and'. If they hit it, they can get double, double and eight times the odds respectively. Of course, sometimes the casino needs a dividend of about 1%, also known as pumping.

It's about 12 o'clock at midnight, which is the peak period for such a 24-hour casino. Meng Fan looked for a while and finally found a table with three seats left, and sat on it with Su Qian and Da Daguo.

The rules of this gambling table are very simple. The minimum bet is 100 yuan and the maximum bet is 3,000 yuan. As long as the betting amount is between them, the gambling table will accept it.

For Meng Fan, this Baccarat is just a small game for fun before dinner, and the slot machines neatly arranged in the side hall are the main meal.

However, it's good to have fun once in a while when you're tired of the must-win game.

The table is clear, and there have been four villages in a row, and the black box on the side of the Dutch official is almost full of chips won from gamblers. For Su Qian and the big country, this is a novel game. Su Qian put a thousand yuan of chips on the village with a worried expectation. The big country also followed the trend and pressed the village of 1,000 yuan, but it did not seem as excited as Su Qian.

"You have all suppressed Zhuang, so I'll suppress it." Meng Fan counted 3,000 chips and threw them on the table of 'and'.

"Buy it and get out of hand!" After the dealer said this, the seven or eight people sitting around the gambling table suddenly became nervous, stared at the banker and the idler, and shouted one after another.

"Zhuang!"

"Idle!"

......

The sound is noisy and endless.

The dealer still dealt the cards, the banker 7 o'clock, the idle 4 o'clock, the banker wins.

"Win, good luck." Su Qian picked up a 100-yuan chip and threw it to the dealer across the table and said, "Yo, Boy, your tip."

Meng Fan said jokingly to Su Qian, "You are really generous."

"I'm the winner. Of course I have to be more generous." Su Qian laughed and said, "Yo, Meng Fan, you seem to have lost 3,000 yuan. It's really pitiful."

In the next few, Meng Fan took 3,000 bets and kept 'harmony' continuously. As expected, he lost all the 20,000 chips in his hand. The big country kept a capital, but Su Qian was in the limelight and won 10,000 yuan.

Meng Fan stood up bored and stretched out. Since he got the ability to control electronics and machinery, this seemingly exciting gambling game has been unable to attract him. Now, the casino in front of you is similar to that of a bank. As long as you want, there should be no problem to withdraw millions.

Of course, the premise is to play gambling machines, not gambling tables like Baccarat.

"Meng Fan, where are you going? I'm winning. Why don't I give you 20,000 chips first? Su Qian felt very strange when she saw Meng Fan get up.

"I want to win money." Meng Fan shook his head and said, "I don't think this is interesting. It's better to make some sensations, at least let Li He know our existence."

"Really?" Hearing the victory, Su Qian's eyes were shining.

"Then let's go, Xiaofan. I don't think it's interesting either." Great powers are also on the side.

Meng Fan nodded and was about to go to the gambling hall when suddenly there was a noise at the stairs leading to the second floor.

A chubby middle-aged man, with a purple face and a weak head hanging down, was dragged downstairs by two big men. The security guard in front of him looked a little nervous. He pushed aside the audience and guided the two big men to put the middle-aged man out of the door and get on a black car.

The people who gambled at the Baccarat gambling table began to whisper to each other. Meng Fan was a little confused and asked one of the young people, "Brother, who was the person who was carried out just now?"

"He?" The young man looked disdainful, "He seems to be an official from the mainland. He looks quite rich. In fact, he is just an old hat. He has been in the VIP hall here for more than a week and heard that he has lost more than 40 million yuan."

Looking at the black car leaving in the night, Meng Fan sighed with emotion.

Since the return of Macao, how many senior mainland officials have been oust from gambling in Macao? I can't remember clearly. However, as the parents and officials of the people, it is worth taking the people's money and coming to Macao to pursue the pleasure brought by those few minutes?

Friends are far away, discredited, families are broken, imprisoned, and more seriously, they hate under the bullets of evil, or die in the knife of usurers. Almost every gambler who sinks into this way will eventually end up like this.

Is it worth it?

All gamblers, no matter how miserable they end up, are not worthy of sympathy.

Because the end of everything was doomed from the moment he stepped into the casino. All the tragic endings were written by himself. No wonder others.

The black car has driven far away, and Meng Fan still looked out of the door thoughtfully, recalling that he was addicted to the pleasure between eating and spitting in the game hall. He was confused and worried about gains and losses.

"Meng Fan, what's wrong with you?" Su Qian came to Meng Fan's side and asked softly.

"Nothing." Meng Fan suddenly laughed and said, "Let's go. I'm going to make headlines in the Macao newspaper tomorrow."

The threshold set by Lisboa Casino for gambling machines is relatively low, and even people with only a few dozen yuan in their pockets can play here for half an hour. Moreover, almost all kinds of gambling machines can be found here - slot-eating tigers, fruit machines, disc gambling machines that Meng Fan used to play, etc.

In this hall full of gambling machines, there are several rows of connecting machines, that is, the so-called slot-eating tigers, with a total of 20 or 30. All slot machines will summarize the scores eaten. After some calculation, a certain amount of the prize money will be obtained, and the amount will continue to increase with the number of points eaten. The amount of the lottery is huge. If you win the lottery, you can win at least tens of millions of yuan. Here, all gamblers are silently throwing the coins in their pockets into the never-filled stomach of the slot machine for this difficult dream.

From the completion and opening of the Lisbon Casino to now, the lottery money connected to the slot machine has been made five times, creating five lucky people worth more than 10 million.

Today, there will be sixth place.

However, this sixth place is far from as simple as luck.

Meng Fan asked the big country to go to the front desk to exchange 1,000 yuan coins, but most of it was still given to Su Qian and the big country, and he only left a small part.

The three occupied the three slot machines next to each other. Meng Fan threw the coins in his hand and absent-mindedly pulled the start rod of the slot machine to make the machine run naturally.

Su Qian has played gambling machines in Dalian, proficient in coins and rods, but she is also absent-minded. Only the big country used to watch Meng Fan play that kind of disk-style gambling machine. This time it was his turn to play, which seemed very novel.

After a while, Meng Fan lost almost all the money, and Su Qian and the big country also lost only half of the money.

The three of them redistributed the coins in their hands, and after a while, they finally lost all.

"Meng Fan." Su Qian came to Meng Fan's ear and whispered, "When will you start to win?"

"Nothing." Meng Fan shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "I'm just experimenting. If I don't have the ability to control electronics and machinery, can I still win money?"

"The result is obvious." Meng Fan laughed at himself and said, "If I don't have that ability, I may faint like the fat man who was carried out just now."

"But you have the ability, don't you?" Su Qian said, "So, you are destined to be different from him."

"Okay, start winning money! Big country, exchange another 200 yuan of coins. Let this casino be more lively." Meng Fan's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth rose, showing a playful smile.

It is already two o'clock in the morning, but the Lisbon casino is still lively, and fanatical gamblers occasionally burst out to cheer. Those loser gamblers are pale and sweating coldly. And those gamblers who fought for dozens of hours in a trance, shaking left and right.

For a casino, everything is so ordinary and harmonious.
