After sufficient rest, it is customary to investigate first and then act. Shi Hu doesn't fight unprepared battles, not to mention that this is the territory of the Americans, each with its own rules, he has to be smarter. In Macau, "card counting" may be new to casinos, but in Vegas, it has been used by countless smart people.

The blackjack card counting method that Shi Hu learned was almost all created by Americans. It can be seen that card counting is a very taboo thing in Las Vegas. Although it is no longer the seventies and eighties when the mafia was rampant, it is not too difficult for the casino to teach some people a lesson.

But that doesn't mean it's going to make Shi Hu scared...... He just loves a challenge.

The first stop is Bellagio, a five-star hotel that costs more than a billion dollars, and the results of burning money are also reflected in its magnificent casino, countless slot tigers are lined up, flashing signal lights let tourists drown in it, hundreds of gaming tables are densely scattered around, and it coincides with the weekend, gamblers are of all colors, black, white, yellow, and mixed with a group of beautiful casino girls to and fro the crowd......

Shi Hu glanced at it several times, and every table was crowded with people, and he couldn't find a vacant seat!

The hall stood for a long time, looking out at the endless casino like the other curious tourists, like a monster's open mouth, constantly devouring the tourists...... He admits that he has taken the test, but any newbie who walks into this luxurious casino will be shocked.

Just don't gamble, it's an eye-opener to walk around. And the clever design of the casino is reflected here, you walk around, can you press the temptation? Unless it's a sober Shi Hu who insists on winning math, many people can't help but try their luck and shake the slot machine.

After walking around the Grand View Garden, Shi Hu remembered what he was doing: blackjack and poker.

Bellagio should have a dedicated poker room, but the casino is too big for him to find for the time being. Blackjack was everywhere, but he didn't play the game, the automatic card shuffle. That's right, a large number of blackjack tables have begun to popularize these expensive machines.

If you encounter an automatic shuffling machine, there is basically no chance.

Shi Hu observed quietly, it seems that the card counters have indeed caused a lot of trouble to the casino, so that they have introduced card shuffling machines, and they have to scare off the card counters at the expense of heavy bleeding...... After he walked through the casino, he ended up just playing a few slot machines, couldn't find the poker room, and left at his job.

Take out the tourist map of the casino, the long street is full of big casinos on both sides, and there are even special tours to visit the casino, just like traveling through history, you can wear from Egypt to Rome, to Venice, Paris...... Slowly came to the modern age. Shi Hu also followed this route.

At night, the long street is very lively, full of tourists, there are neatly dressed, business people like him; There are also wanderers who look lonely and have no purpose; There are also sneaky pimps who stuff business cards on people with all sorts of naked girls and phone numbers.

Shi Hu received five pimp cards, refused a paid photo session with two big wave girls, and said he didn't need a rap album before moving to the next casino: the Hollywood Planet Hotel. He admits that he was first attracted by the huge "strip club" ad on the podium.

He scouted the hotel's casino, the poker room was in the VIP area, and some blackjack tables, and the shuffle machine had not yet been used, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, but fortunately it was not all popular, otherwise he would only be able to play poker in the future. Although card reading is very useful, it is boring after a long time.

What's more, Las Vegas is the land of the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, where the world's top poker masters gather, some of them can also read the opponent's hole cards, coupled with extreme experience and skill, Shi Hu is not guaranteed to win against those big sharks.

Shi Hu changed some chips and went to play blackjack.

However, he didn't count the cards, and he quickly lost everything, so he went to the bar next to the casino and asked for a cocktail. There are also people playing slot machines next to the bar, drinking and gambling - the characteristics of the casino. After resting enough, continue on the road, his next stop is the Paris Hotel, where he continues to explore.

……

In addition to the most lively sides of Long Street, he also went to the casinos near Long Street, the old casinos in the downtown (downtown), etc., of course, partly because he found several high-end strip clubs.

Shi Hu did not experience capitalism in the whole way, and he admits that the long-legged Yanmar is not a small attraction to him, but the other point is to gather intelligence. If you want to get a quick break through a city, the best way is to get rid of it, with taxi drivers and strippers being the main ones, the latter being a local specialty.

He went to a strip bar and tipped a lot, and even named a solo performer.

He got a lot of information from the mouths of several dancing girls, because the tips were refreshing, and these girls knew everything about him, in addition to the gossip of many celebrities, he learned about the casino's hardware upgrade plan, that is, the shuffle. That's right, it's all caused by card counters.

MGM, Sands these casino giants, plan to 05 years ago, all their casinos equipped with shuffling machines, in order to put an end to the increasingly severe card counting crisis, is currently in an orderly manner. Shi Hu came in time, and if it was half a year late, the card counter would really be extinct.

……

Spend another day preparing, and the weekend is coming.

On weekends, the traffic of the casino will exponentially surge, and it is also a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters. Shi Hu, who had already changed his clothes, continued to look like an upstart, aiming at his first target: Planet Hollywood. The casino environment inside suited him well and decided to make a fortune from it.

He brought $400,000 in capital to participate in the battle.

In the past few days, he successfully tailored a set of card counting methods for himself, not only to summarize the big card range, but also to encounter small cards, cold cards when the situation into the system, such as when there are many small cards left, he will take a bold strategy, more cards, and read cards, increase the probability of winning.

Card reading is not very useful for blackjack, after all, the dealer's card will only have two situations: greater than 17 points or burst. The dealer is just a machine for the dealer to get the cards, and knowing whether the dealer has the cards or not rarely affects the outcome - except in the case of a large number of small cards.

He named his method "Stone Algorithm", which he later thought was too vulgar and renamed it "Stone Algorithm". Stone means stone in English...... Stone algorithm is unique in the world that only Shi Hu can use properly - because it is a full-card model, with 13 faces, all memorized.

Casinos generally use six or eight decks of cards, 312 or 416 cards, and he has to remember them all.

Its amount of calculations is more than ten times higher than any other card counting method, and it also requires extremely fast mental arithmetic ability, which can not be reminded by the dealer many times, and is still at a loss. Shi Hu dares to claim that in the world, apart from him, there are Intel chips that can play like this.

This kind of high-volume card counting method has been a bit anti-human, in his multi-open mode, the income is also surprisingly good, 400,000 US dollars, soon grew to 500,000, and attracted the attention of the head of the gambling table, he reminded the dealer to shuffle - this is also a way to eliminate card counting.

But if this can make Shi Hu back down, the casino will be too naïve.

He keeps his eyes on the rolling cards and makes quick tracks, previously he was able to cast up to three cards at the same time, but after the prophecy of the twenty-five-year-old, he can now track a dozen cards at the same time - the dealer will not shuffle his cards too seriously when he is tired.

This means that there is still a pattern between every two cards that are tracked. In this way, the scope of Shihu's generalized tracking has been greatly expanded. He only wanted to be more than 50% accurate so that he could continue to improve his chances of beating the casino after they deliberately shuffled the cards.

So he won $300,000 tonight.

This is still in the case of deliberately losing part, he can win 1 million in one night - but killing chickens and eggs is not what smart people should do. If he wins so much in a row, I'm afraid he will end up on the casino blacklist. Casinos are all sharing blacklists, and his card-counting career is over.
