Chapter 962: Gambling
How big is Sands Casino?
The entire Sands Tower is 300 storeys high, and the bottom 50 floors belong to the casino, and between the 50th and 100th floors are the hotels, which are places for gamblers to rest.
Above the 100th floor, it is rumored to be a casino, but if you want to go up, you need a certain status, or a member of the casino, and this high-end casino occupies the height of the 100th floor.
From the 200th floor to the 250th floor, it is the living and office area of the casino's internal staff, while from the 250th floor to the 300th floor, it is only for casino members or VIPs with a certain status to stay.
Sands Casino, rumored to be behind the standing of several major forces, the strength is extraordinary, and there are even heaven-level powerhouses, but even so, Sands Casino still gives up the top position to gamblers, this is the shrewdness of the casino.
In fact, the casino is equivalent to a service industry, smart casinos will never do anything in their own casinos, and the dealers also rely on gambling skills, but they have more experience and vision than ordinary gamblers.
What the casino wants is to let gamblers have an uncle-like experience, only in this way, these gamblers will still come even if they lose money, and the casino really makes money by earning a commission.
Depending on the gambling method, the casino has different rakeshares, which are generally three to five percent points, which means that if the gambler wins, three percent of the winnings will be drawn.
Therefore, smart casinos are not afraid of gamblers winning money, because the more you win, the more they will take a cut, and generally as long as you are on the table, there will be two times if you have one, win or lose, and roll down like a snowball, and finally you will find that the money is made by the casino.
Sands Casino is this clever casino.
Here, as long as you have money, then you are the uncle, if you win, it is the uncle of the uncle, of course, if you lose more, you are also the uncle of the uncle.
"Mr. Fang, Miss Fang, what do you want to play, there are traditional gambling methods, such as baccarat, Texas Hold'em and the like......"
Mo Ning walked in the front to lead the way, although it was also a cardamom year, but the body was already quite fully developed, when walking in front, the tun was swaying, and there was a touch of charm in the youth, which attracted the attention of many casino men.
"There's poker here, aren't you afraid of being seen through your hole cards?"
Fang Xue was a little puzzled, for cultivators, it was not difficult to see the cards on the back of the poker, and even remembering the cards could be done.
"Miss Fang, the cards we have here are all specially made, which can block everyone's perception and prying eyes, so there is no need to worry about this problem at all. Mo Ning replied with a smile.
"Then even the divine consciousness of a heaven-level powerhouse can stop it?"
Hearing Fang Xue's question, a strange smile appeared on Mo Ningqiao's face, while Fang Shi on the side looked at his elder sister a little helplessly, and replied, "Sister, do you think a heaven-level powerhouse will gamble on these layers?"
Heaven-level powerhouses, even if you want to bet, you have to go to the VIP area above the hundred floors, not to mention the heaven-level powerhouses, there are not even a few earth-level powerhouses below, most of them are human-level stages.
"Child, go and change some chips and watch my sister kill all sides. ”
Fang Shi rolled his eyes at his old sister, but he didn't refuse, and asked Mo Ning, "Where is the place to change chips?" ”
"Mr. Fang wants to change chips, please come with me. ”
Mo Ning's expression was not much excited, although they said that the gamblers they brought to exchange chips, they could get a commission of one thousandth, but in her opinion, Fang Shi estimated that they could not change much, just change some play.
There is a place to exchange chips not far away, and the whole casino is very large, so there is a counter for exchanging chips every 100 meters, and Mo Ning led Fang Shi to the counter.
"Mr. Fang. ”
Mo Ning smiled and looked at Fang Shi, Fang Shi nodded, and took out a card from his arms, it was a pure black card, with a black luster, when he saw this card, Mo Ning showed a puzzled look on his face, she had been a concierge in the casino for half a year, and she was also well-informed about bank cards, including some limited edition cards issued by banks.
Since the advent of the era of cultivation, there have been changes in the financial industry, and the largest central bank has issued a special currency, which is called spirit coin, and spirit currency is used by cultivators to use each other, of course, it can be interconnected with ordinary paper and pen.
1 spirit coin = 10,000 RMB.
The spirit coin is formed by condensing the aura of heaven and earth, and each piece of spirit coin has a certain aura, which also leads to the fact that the spirit coin is not only issued by the central bank, but also can be turned into a spirit coin if there is a strong person who collects the aura of heaven and earth.
What the central bank does is actually a money business, for example, some cultivators have condensed 100% of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and they can't absorb it for a while, so they can deposit these spiritual energy in the central bank in exchange for spirit coins, which are easy to keep, and secondly, they can also exchange spirit coins and other cultivators for the things they need.
And if there are too many spirit coins stored, you can apply for a bank card, so that you can directly swipe the card when you use it, and some stores that receive cultivators have special card swiping POS machines.
Of course, for some disciples and strong people with major sects, the central bank will also give each other a credit line, which can overdraft and consume a certain amount of spirit coins, which is a bit similar to a credit card.
Mo Ning had seen such a bank card, but she had never seen such a card with a black sheen, and if it weren't for the central bank's logo on it, she would have wondered if it was a toy card.
"Give me a hundred spirit coins for chips. Fang Shi thought for a moment and replied.
Hearing Fang Shi's words, the waiter's expression at the counter lit up, and Mo Ningqiao on the side also had a look of surprise on his face, one hundred spirit coins is nothing to the VIPs in the casino, but it is more than one hundred floors, and below this, there are not many gamblers who can exchange one hundred spirit coins at one time.
One hundred spirit coins, for ordinary people, that is one million, even for cultivators is not a small number, Xiang Mo Ning, a girl who works as a concierge in a casino, has a human-level three-layer realm, and the tip income of a day of good luck may add up to ten spirit coins, but such income is a minority, most of the time it is the income of one or two spirit coins a day.
"Sir, this is your bargaining chip. ”
The waiter at the counter took the card and swiped it on the special POS machine, and then took out a plate, and Mo Ning on the side stepped forward to pick up the plate, with a large number of chips on it, in this casino, one spirit coin can be exchanged for ten chips.
For many men, in front of the beauties want to show themselves, in order to show their atmosphere, when placing chips will be a little bigger than usual, especially when you turn around, you will see a young and beautiful beauty smiling at you, you dare not appear stingy search, I have to say, Sands Casino is very good at grasping the psychology of gamblers.
When Fang Xue was found, Fang Xue was already standing in front of the dice table.
There were many people in front of the gambling table, and when they saw their younger brother coming, Fang Xue hurriedly shouted: "Xiaozi, hurry up and get the chips, I just watched three here, and I bet right, this time I want to place chips." ”
From the end of Mo Ning's side of the stack of chips, Fang Xue directly bet on the big side, there are several ways to bet on the dice, but Fang Xue chose the simplest, that is, two sizes, one, two, three is small, four, five or six is big, and the odds are all one to one.
Fang Shi glanced at the chips placed by his sister, there were at least three hundred, this is thirty spirit coins, sure enough, women are all losers.
Before his father took his mother and second mother out on a trip, he gave him and his sister a bank card with 10,000 spirit coins in it, which was enough for their sister and brother to live, but his sister was defeated in just one year.
10,000 spirit coins, the average prefecture-level late-stage powerhouse is estimated to have a year's income of this number, but what about my sister, I took it to buy some useless things, pigeon-sized diamonds, what is the use of this thing except for being good-looking?
Since ordinary people also knew about cultivation, many leather bags and jewelry, which were originally luxury goods for the world, quickly declined, because people used to buy these luxury goods to improve their character and show that they were rich.
But now, even if you wear an Armani watch with a Patek Philippe watch, it is not as attractive to a girl as a human-level cultivator, since these luxury goods are no longer compelling, and they can't even become a pickle girl, they are naturally not sought after, and many luxury companies have closed down because of this.
Of course, luxury will never go out of business, and now new luxury goods have appeared, such as belts with aura, jewelry with aura, and new luxury brands have been born.
If my sister buys a new luxury item, it doesn't matter, at least it will help her cultivation, but her sister just buys jewelry without aura, which is a complete waste of money.
"Buy and leave, open!"
The dealer opened the dice cup, looked at the number and said, "Five o'clock." ”
"Haha, I'm winning, continue to bet big. ”
Fang Xue clenched her fist excitedly, and this time she bet all the money she had won, and the result was big again.
"It's a bet on me. ”
"Haha, hit again. ”
"Keep going, I'm pressing. ”
……
Seven handfuls, Fang Xue won all the bets, and the chips changed from 1,000 chips to more than 70,000 chips, which means that there are more than 7,000 spirit coins, this number is already a huge number for gamblers on the first floor.
Mo Ning's mouth was open, with an incredible expression, and the dealer's face was even more sweaty, and the expression of looking at Fang Xue was like seeing a ghost.
It's not that there are people who bet on seven in a row, but every time they bet on the capital and win together is the first time to see, the average gambler is the more they win, the more they dare not bet, the more they lose, the more they want to bet, because they want to be safe when they win, and they want to turn over when they lose.
"Sister, you can stop it. ”
Fang Shi saw that his elder sister was a little superior, and persuaded on the side, while Mo Ning opened his mouth and wanted to persuade him, but in the end he gave up.
As the concierge of the casino, she cannot persuade gamblers to continue gambling and not to gamble, otherwise if the dealer complains, she will not only lose her job, but also be punished by the casino.
"It doesn't seem to be interesting, but is there anything else to be fun about?"
Fang Xue's eyes swept around, at this moment, there were already a lot of people gathered around her, all of them were attracted by her seven consecutive bets, hearing Fang Xue's words, one of the men said: "Little girl, you can go to the VIP floor to play, that's the real fun." ”
"VIP building?"
"Yes, as long as you have 10,000 chips in the VIP building, you can go up to play, I am the reception of the VIP building, and I can take you up. The man smiled and made a dashing gesture.
However, Fang Xue was unmoved, looked at Mo Ning, and said, "I don't want you to take it, so she will continue to take us up." ”
"I bring?"
Mo Ning was a little surprised, generally speaking, these concierges rarely take gamblers to the VIP building, because the VIP building has the concierge reception of the VIP building, but if the guest asks for it, it is not impossible.
Bringing guests from the ordinary building to the VIP building, no matter whether the guests win or lose, they can earn a commission of ten spirit coins, which is almost equivalent to her income in the previous week, so although she was a little surprised, she did not refuse and give this opportunity to her colleagues.
"Then I'll take Miss Fang and Mr. Fang to the VIP building. ”
The VIP building has an exclusive elevator, and Mo Ning has no one to check with him, and as the elevator door opens again, a fiery atmosphere completely different from downstairs comes to the face.
"Kill that son of a bitch, Lao Tzu put a hundred spirit coins on him, but the son of a bitch actually lost, and he couldn't even beat a wolf, which is really a shame for our cultivation world, and it's a shame to die." ”
"Hit, hit, hit, hit, hit. ”
All kinds of angry scolding filled the entire floor, Fang Shi frowned, but he saw that there were more than a dozen rings in front of him, and there were battles on each ring, and around the ring were fanatical cultivators, all of them gritting their teeth and scolding.
"This is a battle of cultivators, all the players in the ring are contestants, and everyone on the side can bet, of course, the frequency of the two sides is not the same. ”
"These are the people of the Western Church and the Council of Darkness?"
In the ring, there are orcs and werewolves, and at first glance they are from the Western cultivation world.
"Well, this is the Western cultivation world that has been captured, if they want to survive, they can only defeat their opponents in the ring, otherwise they can only be beaten to death by their opponents. ”
When Mo Ning spoke, there was an orc's head that happened to be twisted off by the opponent, Fang Xue's face turned pale, it was the first time she had seen such a bloody scene, but Mo Ning looked indifferent, because it was not the first time she had seen such a scene.
"Wouldn't that be cruel?"
"Miss Fang, I don't think it's too cruel, because if our Eastern cultivators fall to the Western side, the end will only be worse. ”
Mo Ning explained, but Fang Shi didn't say anything, the East and the West are hostile, and this situation is impossible to avoid.
"There are all human-level powerhouses here, isn't there a higher level?" Fang Shi asked curiously.
"Yes, not on this level, but there is a starting point for betting, at least five hundred zero coins. ”
"Then take us quickly, I want to see the fight of the ground-level powerhouse. Fang Xue immediately urged.
