Chapter 452: Shameless
Link gave Carrick the house on Bakers Avenue to live in. Although there were still rooms there, he still lived in MGM.
Twenty-four bodyguards guarded the perimeter of his room so that mosquitoes didn't even want to fly in.
It's not that he's making a fuss, he's just in case.
This time, he's going to play against the Venetian Casino. Since he became a director of MGM, he also knows more about the casino insider.
It should be said that casinos are very profitable. But a big casino doesn't actually have a very high annual profitability. The gambling industry in Las Vegas as a whole will not exceed 10 billion dollars, and after deducting costs, you can imagine how much profit it can make.
But there is an important feature of these casinos, and that is that the flow of cash is very active. This has become the main way of black money laundering. In fact, MGM's individual shareholders represent those people. Some illegal income will flow into the casino, and after the operation of the casino, the money can be laundered.
The business of the casino is based on a probability, and it is almost impossible for the casino to lose money. Therefore, it should be relatively safe to launder money through casinos.
But after Link, it becomes an uncertainty.
Perhaps most of the money he won yesterday at the Venetian Casino was the shady ones. And he could win more today. He didn't know if the people behind the black money would find someone to kill him in order to ensure the safety of his money.
He wanted to use the breakfast delivered by this room service in the living room of the suite, and when he was almost finished, Ari came back from outside and said, "Boss, it has been checked, and there is no problem." "He just went down to inspect their car to see if anyone had tampered with it.
Link drank the last sip of millet porridge and said, "Ready to go!"
As yesterday, there were still seven cars of the same model in front of the Venetian Casino.
It's just that compared to yesterday, it's very different. The convoy had not stopped, and in front of the Venetian gate, a crowd of people surrounded it. They are all journalists.
Except for the absence of a red carpet, he is like a big star in the world.
"Mr. Hans......"
"Link ......"
Reporters separated by bodyguards asked him questions in shouting voices. The question is nothing more than whether he is going to return to the world and whether he will participate in professional poker tournaments.
Link is escorted into the casino by bodyguards. And the reporters were all blocked.
He had just entered the casino and could see everyone cheering and applauding. Yesterday he helped them win a lot of money.
But a few people kept a straight face. Chelsea Adelson walked over to Link, stretched out his hand and said, "Link, I guess there was some misunderstanding between us?"
Link shook her hand for a moment, then let go of his hand and said, "Ms. Adelson! He said, turning to Ari. "Go and redeem 10,000 chips. ”
Hearing this count, Chelsea Adelson's face changed. Yesterday he only exchanged a hundred dollars and won two million dollars. Now exchange 10,000, do you want to win 200 million?
"Link, when can we start?"
"Do you still play the Wheel of Fortune today? Don't you think that's really lucky?"
Link is here to talk to Chelsea Adelson, and the punters there can't wait to follow him to win.
He told Chelsea Adelson: 'Sorry, Ms Adelson, maybe we can talk again when we have time. As he spoke, he walked around the other party to the turntable where the lights were turned on today.
Chelsea Adelson saw the gamblers who were already ready to move, and hurriedly said: "Link, I don't think the bookmakers in the hall will dare to accept your bet." ”
Hearing this, Link paused, smiled and turned back and said, "So, I've become persona non grata?"
"Of course not. Of course you are welcome. It's just that I don't think the dealer in the lobby will dare to bet with you. You're a gambler, aren't you?"
With these words, the boos in the gambling hall seemed to shatter all the light bulbs. Someone shouted, "Link, let's go to the VIP room!"
"I think the dealer in the VIP room must have heard of Link's name. Chelsea Adelson said with a smile.
Link didn't expect that she didn't even want the face of a Venetian to use this method to refuse him to gamble.
Yes, the Venetians did not allow him to gamble, and they did not intend to kick him out. But as long as he bets, the dealer doesn't bet. He is in the cow, and he can only stand on a gambling table.
Can Link still be able to cause trouble in the casino like a thug?
And at this time, Link also realized that Chelsea Adelson understood why he came and understood what happened, so she didn't dare to negotiate with him.
This way does lose his followers, but it can prevent him from winning money in the casino. He couldn't put pressure on them.
It has to be said that Chelsea Adelson played his calculations well.
"Boss, the chips are here. ”
Ari came in with ten chips, all for a thousand dollars.
Link took it and said, "It doesn't seem like this chip is going to work." But he still walked inward. ”
Chelsea thought he was unbelieving and worried that something might happen, so he hurriedly followed.
As a result, she saw Link turn a corner and sit in front of a slot machine.
This slot machine shows a cumulative winnings of around 100,000, which is the highest payout machine available in the casino. As long as someone makes a specific design, the money will go to the winner. But there is also a bonus to this machine, which is a limited bonus, up to five thousand dollars.
After Link sat down, bodyguards quickly surrounded him inside, separating the crowd.
He took out his wallet, then took out a stack of green bills of one hundred denominations, and put them one by one.
He put in a total of five thousand dollars before stopping. He then failed to win seven or eight times in a row. The people around were bored and gradually dispersed.
Chelsea Adelson still can't let go of it. But Link went to play slots, and no matter how lucky he was, he couldn't win much money.
Her only concern is that Link is unyielding and keeps making trouble. In that case, the whole world will see the Venetian Casino joke.
She also doesn't want the Venetian Hotel to be a joke, but she's more willing to accept the joke than the hundreds of millions of dollars a day. She said to the bald head, "You pay attention. Don't give him a chance to mess around. ”
The bald head saw that Link was no longer on the table, and his heart was also relieved. It's really humiliating to stop Link in that kind of aggrieved way, but the person who wants to say that he is disgraced can invite Link to gamble with them.
Link plays slot machines to disappoint other gamblers and reassure the people at the casino.
The bald head has been wandering around the hall, keeping an eye on Link's movements from time to time, but he finds that Link is still "obediently" playing slot machines.
Suddenly, there was a burst of music and the lights in the slot area flickered. This made his heart skip a beat, but he immediately realized that even if he won the jackpot, it would only be five thousand dollars.
He didn't see any reaction from Link, and he didn't care.
No one noticed that Link would hold down a key for a long time before each start.
Link's lunch was also eaten in front of the slot machine, during which three jackpots were drawn. This caught the attention of some gamblers, but he had bodyguards around him to block the crowd, and the gamblers looked at it for a while and got bored and left. Compared to the Wheel of Fortune, which can take them to win, the slot machine is too weak.
Even though Link is only playing slots, he is still closely watched. The casino's surveillance room called in three cameras to point at him. There was a dedicated person to monitor him.
The staff at the casino, who monitored Link, stared at it all morning and felt that there was nothing special to pay attention to. No signs of Link's annoyed and abusive treatment of the machine, nor is he caught cheating.
"Yes, again twenty dollars. Sure enough, it is the god of gambling, and the winning rate is at least 30%. ”
Another monitor slid his chair and leaned over to take a look, saying, "He seems to have hit the jackpot three times." ”
"Yes, if it's me, once a week, it can put me in a good mood every week. ”
"Some people don't make it to the jackpot in their lifetime. The man who came over slipped back into his place.
"So he's the God of Gambling. Luck was great. ”
Everyone in their casino knows that the slot machines nowadays are electronically programmed and don't have much machinery. The probabilities are more accurate. And the bigger the jackpot, the lower the probability. And Link was able to win the lottery three times, especially three times in one morning, which is indeed against the sky.
Link is not a robot. He played until 8 p.m., during which he went to the bathroom four times, and each time he would take out the prize ticket from the machine, and when he came out, he would change the machine and put the prize ticket directly into the machine.
It wasn't until eight o'clock that he made his last big prize.
"Boss!" said Ari, swallowing as he looked at the numbers on the slot machine's screen. "It's eight o'clock. ”
Link nodded, and then manipulated the machine to spit out the redemption ticket. At this time, no one was paying attention to his jackpot. Because he's already won seven jackpots today.
Link took the fluttering prize ticket and wanted to go to the cash exchange. Ari immediately had him in the middle. Don't dare to slack off.
The bald director of the casino saw that Link was finally about to claim his prize, and a smile of victory appeared on his face. He walked briskly over to Link. At the cash exchange, he finally caught up with Link: "Mr. Hans, I hope you have a good day." ”
"I'm really happy. Link handed the exchange ticket to the exchanger.
The exchanger didn't even look at it, and put the ticket directly into the ticket gate.
The LCD display in the prize window then displays twelve digits with two decimal places. But even then, the figure made the bald directors and exchangers stupid.
Link knocked on the window and said lightly, "Can you hurry up?" ”
"Mr. Hans, I beg your pardon. I think it must be a small ......" The exchanger glanced at the numbers on the receipt and froze. The numbers on it are the same as those shown on the screen.
And this is just when a woman came to redeem it, glancing at the numbers on the LCD screen, and making a scream comparable to that of a jet plane.
