Chapter 55: The Casino

Leo asked, "How did you say last time?" As soon as Alex heard Leo say this, he immediately remembered what he had mentioned to Leo a few days ago, so he said: "Boss Leo, are you interested in going to play, I have a good place to go, it is one of the largest casinos in the North City, if you want to go, I will accompany you to have a look." ”

Leo thought for a moment and asked, "Is it safe there, there won't be police looking for trouble?" "Because of his special status, he often deals with the police, so it's better not to be troubled by the police. Alex replied: "You don't have to worry about that, gambling is not illegal in Florida, and the security measures there are very good, there will be no robbery or default." ”

After knowing this, Leo let go of the worries in his heart, so he said, "Are you free today, take me to play in the evening." ”

As soon as Alex heard that Leo was going, he immediately said, "Okay, no problem, I'll drive over to pick you up, I'll be there in 20 minutes." ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone, it should be to prepare to go out, Leo also hung up the phone, and then walked back and forth in the villa a few times. Because he doesn't usually have the habit of saving money, Merilin always spends his pocket money first when he and Anna give them pocket money every week. He only has more than $200 in his hand now, and that money may be spent in less than five minutes when he takes it to the casino. So he had to borrow some money, but who to borrow from was a problem.

Leo thought: "Anna doesn't need it, her money is spent faster than herself, she still has more than 200 dollars, and it would be good for her to have 100 yuan in her hand." Mason must have it in his hand, but he is not in the villa now, and he can't quench his thirst from far away. Gibson shouldn't have either, although he doesn't spend money indiscriminately, but the money for the things he researches is all saved by himself, and his money is useful, and he can't borrow it from him. In fact, Sister Xiaolan is the best at saving money, she usually doesn't spend much money, and keeps all her pocket money, but if she borrows from her, she will definitely ask to understand. And I can't let her know about going to the casino now, so I can't go there, so I'd better tell her after I make money. Merelin's situation is similar to that of Xiaolan, she will ask clearly before lending it to me, and it seems that she can only borrow it from Emma. ”

After thinking about it, he went directly to Emma's room, Emma now lives alone now, and if Gabby returns, he will live with her. This made it easier for Leo to not be discovered by others, so Leo knocked on Emma's door, and after a while there was no response. Leo thought to himself: "There's no one inside? No, just after eating, they all went back to their rooms, and she also went upstairs." Ah, is she in Gibson's room?"

Leo came to Gibson's room again, knocked on the door, Gibson's voice came out: "Please come in", Leo pushed the door into the room, and saw that Emma was here. So he showed a smile that he had done as he was, Emma was a little unnatural by his smile, Gibson broke the embarrassment and said, "I asked Emma to do me a favor, we didn't do anything?"

Leo smirked and said, "I didn't say what you were doing, and even if you did, I wouldn't know." If not, I'd like to ask Sister Emma for a favor!"

When he said this, the two of them, who had nothing to do, seemed to have really done something unsightly, Emma said angrily: "He doesn't need my help, let's go, you have something you want me to help with." ”

Leo hurriedly followed Emma out of the room, and winked at Gibson as he left the door, as if to say, "I'm sorry to disturb your good work"

Leo followed Emma to her room, and Emma asked, "If you want my sister to help you with anything, tell me!"

Leo rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassedly: "Sister Emma, can you lend me some money?" I have something urgent, and I can pay you back in a few days." ”

Emma smiled and said, "Just this matter, I thought it was a big deal, how much do you want to borrow?" Leo didn't expect Emma to be so easy to talk to, so he asked, "How much does Sister Emma have?"

Emma was stunned for a moment and said, "Why, how much do I have, how much do you borrow." What are you going to do?"

Leo has a feeling of moving a stone to his feet, just say the number is good, he has to ask more, he can only bite the bullet and say: "It's nothing, it's just that a friend wants to use money, borrow it from me, you know, I am the master who spends all the money, and I can't keep a cent, how can I lend him money, but I want to help him, so I can only borrow it from you."

Emma frowned and said, "Do I have more, but 3000 is still available, is it enough?"

When Leo heard this, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Enough is enough, it's okay to borrow less, can you get it for me now, he'll be here in a while." ”

Emma turned around and took $3,000 in the desk drawer to Leo, Leo took the money and thanked Emma and turned around to walk out of the room, when he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Sister Emma, you don't have to tell anyone about me borrowing money from you, especially Sister Xiaolan, she must ask me if she knows." I don't know exactly what he's going to do, so I can't say, I'm sure I'll pay it back soon. Sister Emma is relieved. ”

Emma smiled: "Don't worry, I won't say anything, you don't have to pay back the 3,000 yuan in a hurry, and I don't need it urgently." ”

"Okay, thank you, Sister Emma" Leo went out of Emma's room after speaking, as soon as he arrived at the door, Alex drove his second-hand Chevrolet to the door, after Leo got in the car, he saw that there were only two of them in the car, and he didn't ask why he didn't bring other little brothers, anyway, the two of them were better.

Alex drove Leo to what looked like a private clubhouse, and when he entered, Alex showed a card to the security guard at the door, who let them in. Leo asked puzzledly, "Why do you need a pass to enter here?"

Alex explained: "You see, this is actually a private club, but this private club is just a casino. I just met a big brother who gave me this card, I did his brothers a favor before, and he gave me this membership card to thank me. This club is membership-based, and non-members can't enter. ”

Leo then understood, and asked again: "Then how many times have you been here, what are the ways to play here?"

Alex explained: "This is a more formal casino, are some common casino play, such as poker, dice, roulette, I think Boss Leo should have never been to this kind of place, in fact, I am only the second time to come, the first time I came with the big brother." There are some things I don't know very well, so I have to call the boss to try my luck with me. ”

Leo nodded and said, "I don't plan to play much today, let's take a look at what is available here, and then I'll go back and study it and see how I can win some money here." Of course, the money will be yours with you, as long as you believe me."

"Believe, of course believe, I have already said that whatever you want to do, I will follow you. Alex swore by it

Leo shook his head speechlessly, thinking to himself, "This guy is too blindly obedient, if he sells him, he will help him count the money." But as long as his trust in himself is concerned, he can't let him suffer. ”

After Alex parked the car, the two walked into the clubhouse, and immediately after entering the door, a beautiful waitress in clothes and overalls came up to greet them. The waiter was not surprised that they looked very young, because they were members here, and only members could come in, as long as they had their membership cards, of course they could come in, and she smiled and said to Leo and the two, "Two gentlemen, are you here for the first time? ”

Leo did not refuse, and said with a smile: "Thank you, sister, I am indeed here for the first time, although he has been here, he is not very familiar, if you can let my sister introduce me, of course." ”

The waitress smiled at Leo very politely, and began to introduce: "Our casino is a more formal casino, and there are some more common ways to play" She took Leo and the two walked inside, passing by many machines like game machines, and introduced: "These are slot machines, and there are many ways to play, all of which are played by coins." ”

After the introduction, she led the two into a very open hall, where there were many gaming tables, different sizes and different styles, at this time there were a lot of people around each gaming table, men and women, they were sitting or standing, but they were holding small round cards of different sizes and colors.

The waitress pointed to a few tables in the middle and said: "These tables are playing poker, there are 21 points, three cards, etc., there are two tables to play dice, that is, guess the size of the dice, the farthest table is the roulette table, that is, there is an ivory ball in the middle of the roulette wheel, guess where the ball will stop, there are many ways to play, you can go and see for yourself." As he spoke, he took the two of them to a place that looked like a bank window and said, "This is the place to exchange chips, if you leave, you can also exchange chips for cash here, there is no handling fee here." If there is nothing else to do, I still have work to do, so I am gone. ”

Leo said to her politely: "Thank you sister for the introduction, let's just take a look for ourselves." ”

After the waitress left, Alex asked impatiently, "Boss, how are we going to play?"

Leo looked around again and said, "Let's exchange some chips first, and I'll see what we want to play." ”

"How many chips do you change, is it for the table or for the slot machine?"

Leo was also a little hesitant, thought for a while and said: "It's better to change the table, I don't understand the mechanical principle of the slot machine." ”

So the two of them exchanged $2,000 each, and took the chips to a table in the middle area first, where the table was playing at 21 o'clock, Leo did not rush to bet, but just watched carefully.

In fact, in Leo's opinion, this gameplay can indeed be understood at a glance, but he also needs to study the skills in the middle.

After he watched it for a while, although he also found a trick, he was still very careful not to play. Instead, I went to the other poker tables and looked at them, carefully observing and studying each game.

Soon 1 hour passed, and Leo watched it in addition to watching, which made Alex, who was following Leo, anxious. But he couldn't play by himself without Leo, he knew that if he played by himself, he might lose all the 2,000 yuan in five minutes.

Leo also saw Alex's impatience, so he said: "Don't worry, I said, I'm here today to figure out how to play here, and I can only make money when I study it, and besides, with the $2,000 in our hands, if it's poker, it will make people lose their money." Let's go, let's go over there. With that, he walked over to the dice table.

There are the most people around, the gameplay is very simple, there are three dice in the cover in the middle of the table, when the cover is buckled, the three dice will roll inside, and the surrounding people will open the cover after betting, generally guess the size, there are also guess the numbers, if you can guess the numbers, the odds will be very high.

Leo looked at the performance of the people around him, he could see that the vast majority of these people bet on luck and the approximate probability of calculating the appearance of points, as if playing this is all about luck, but Leo knew that there must be some skills in this that he didn't know.

And so another half an hour passed, and Leo found no trick, when he came to the table of the second dice. One of the middle-aged men caught Leo's attention, and this man had the highest probability of hitting the dozen rounds of bets he watched, and only two were wrong, which had to make Leo pay attention to him. In Leo's opinion, this middle-aged man must know some tricks. So he focused all his attention on the middle-aged man, not letting go of any of his tiny movements.

After two more rounds, he noticed that the middle-aged man was particularly focused on the dice rolling, and when the dice stopped, he sometimes showed a confident look, and his bets must have been correct.

Leo thought to himself, "How did he know the number of dice, if he had calculated the probability of the size, the probability of accuracy would not have been so high." It must be impossible to see, even if people have good eyesight, it is impossible to see through objects. Then there is only one possibility, and that is by hearing. Is it so difficult that different points of the dice will make different sounds when they land?" Thinking of this, he was just about to listen carefully to the sound of the dice, when he saw the sad face of Alex next to him, which was a little funny, so he said to him: "Do you want to give money to the casino so much? Okay, now you can play a little fun, I will tell you to put whichever side to put it." ”
