When Shi Hu was wandering, the first fire of the new official of the hotel was burned, several people were fired in the front office department, and the positions of the catering department were also adjusted. Rossi had been lurking in the position of vice president for a long time, and he was deeply favored by Paul, and now as soon as he took office, he immediately cut through the chaos.

The result is to be determined, but the reform of the casino makes Shi Hu quite satisfied.

Erica and Rossi have discussed it, and they feel that cheap opponents are not as cheap as themselves, they have certain advantages, they are more proficient in the interpretation of Chinese culture than Westerners, and they have authentic Chinese restaurants. Therefore, specifically targeting Chinese gamblers in the Los Angeles area, Fortune Bus came into being.

"Fortune bus" is more common in the east, near New York's Chinatown, there will be buses departing on time to Atlantic City every day, and guests on the bus will get free chips from the casino, usually 20 US dollars, which can be exchanged for money or gambled. Usually there are very few people who can stick to not betting.

In fact, there are also in the west, and they are not called fortune buses. Erica suggested that an agreement be made with the bus company to provide a certain amount of bus trips, which would increase the casino's popularity and increase its profits. Because the increase in passenger flow will definitely produce benefits in all aspects.

Erica has a second plan.

"Have you ever heard of the term 'bag-men'? They are all gambler intermediaries who are able to bring customers from all over the world, they are all wealthy gamblers, and they are the big customers that all casinos compete for. Reimbursement of air tickets and first class is not a problem, and the big casinos are directly picked up by private jet. ”

Shi Hu understood: "Bag bearer? That is, gambling on PR? ”

"It can be understood that way." Erica nodded, "If we have a chance to catch up with the line, that's a great thing for the casino." ”

"It's not easy, isn't it? With such customers, large casinos have long been snatched up. ”

Erica admitted: "Yes, but it's a scenario, and a low probability doesn't mean there isn't." ”

"Well, hopefully good luck." Shi Hu didn't have much hope, most of the high rollers were powerful casino tycoons, so they could entertain them.

But what is certain is that Erica is very attentive and hard working on her work. Shi Hu felt that her time was spent working and digging through materials. The probationary period is also about to end, and Shi Hu has made a decision to turn her into a regular with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan. An assistant who can replace his own work is definitely worth the price.

……

Weekday casinos are inevitably a bit monotonous, and with the recent series of holidays in the United States, schools have also opened in September, and it has become much more deserted. Shi Hu occasionally tried his luck in his own casino, but he didn't encounter good luck, but he saw a lot of people of all kinds.

Casinos are a melting pot of society, and on weekends, all kinds of Chinese and Japanese tour groups, or blondes in sexy clothes, shuttle between a group of people in casual suits, and even gamblers from the Midwestern countryside, denim suits, cowboy hats, and men in leather pants, gold chains, and ponytails...... It's hard to find yourself in other parts of the world with such a hodgepodge of diverse people.

There are many people, and there are naturally many strange things, Shi Hu has seen the security guards arrest a few guys who are suspected of being minors, and asked them out after checking their identities. Nevada has a very strict control over underage gambling, and once discovered, it will be severely punished and will not be tolerated, so security guards and dealers have to have some eyesight.

Shi Hu couldn't see it, he felt that the white man was too precocious, fifteen or sixteen years old was like a twenty-something, last time there was an eighteen-year-old girl who wanted to try his hand on him, he was a novice, inexperienced and ignorant, Shi Hu was also bored, and it took an hour to successfully persuade her to go back to school.

Erica happened to see this scene: "You are so patient. ”

Shi Hu's idea is simple: "She has just turned eighteen years old, about the same as my sister, too simple a brain will ruin the future, since I see it, I will help." ”

"You have a great sense of justice." Sit down next to her.

Shi Hu smiled: "Justice? I don't know, but even the worst people do something good every once in a while. ”

Erica shook her head, "You're not a bad person. ”

"Then I thank you so much." Shi Hu didn't care, so what if it was good or bad? Anyway, in the end, it's just a loess buried, and everyone will slowly forget.

Erica's mind jumped: "A group of Chinese came to the VIP hall. ”

"Got a conflict?" Shi Hu asked, it is not that he is prejudiced against his compatriots, but that Chinese love to be lively, and the language barrier is easy to misunderstand.

"No, it's just weird." Erica is not much different from the local foreign girl, full of Western concepts, has only been to China once, and knows little about Chinese.

"What's the blame?"

"They are very particular about feng shui and don't like to enter through the main entrance, saying that the layout of the main entrance of the casino will make them lose money, and we have to open the back door to them. They also specify dealers, those with yellow hair, and those with too pointed chins. I don't understand it, but the customer is God. ”

Shi Hu was speechless: "Then win or lose?" ”

Erica said: "Yesterday they won 200,000, and today more Chinese came. ”

"It's a good thing." Shi Hu said.

He doesn't have a brain pump, and any gambling game tends to be a casino, not afraid that you will win, but afraid that you will not come to play.

Some people say that casinos cheat and never be able to play them, that's farting - except for those small casinos and black casinos, there is no need for big casinos to cheat, the win and loss rates are there, and some casinos even post them publicly. According to the law of large numbers, as long as the cash flow is flowing, the casino win rate is more than 50%.

It's similar to the insurance industry, this table loses, but the other tables will win back, and if you lose today, you will win back tomorrow. As long as there are people who are interested in statistics, the win rate of the casino is properly greater than 50%, even if it is known as the absolute 50/50 baccarat, the banker also has a 5% margin.

Cheating is idiotic behavior for big casinos, how expensive is a gambling business license? How high is the fine? The NGC (Nevada Lottery Commission) is specifically responsible for regulation. Moreover, rich people are not stupid, if the casino can ask the master to cheat, they will not be able to ask the master to see through?

So Shi Hu is right to understand it this way.

It's rare to see a big gambler, so he is curious to take a look.

The VIP hall is also on the first floor, with velvet bands isolated, and you can enter with a card, of course, there is no taboo for the boss.

The VIP hall is not big, there are more than a dozen tables, the environment is very good, and when I came in, I saw a group of people shouting around a table, and I was particularly excited. If you guess correctly, baccarat or roulette is the most likely scenario...... Shi Hu stepped forward and watched with his hands behind his back.

A group of gamblers dressed as township entrepreneurs surrounded a leader who looked like Maitreya Buddha, and the leader played baccarat quite calmly. He saw that the leader had won the bet, and then the others stopped their movements, put down their chips, and applauded in unison. They applauded.

Shi Hu is not interested in this kind of inflammation, which is quite common in China, after all, if you want to mix with officialdom, in addition to having real skills, it is more about shooting the sycophants on the top.

It's just the norm in China, but it's particularly weird in the United States, so Shi Hu explained to Erica: "Not everyone is like this, they're just a minority." ”

Although Erica thought it was strange, she took a calm stance: "The customer is always God. ”

"Not bad." Shi Hu agreed with her mentality.

The gamble continued, Shi Hu lost interest after a few glances, there were too many sycophants, and when he heard the word leader, he wanted to vomit, most of them were a bunch of public funds to visit Las Vegas, and they also specialized in investigating the capitalist ** guys...... They gambled for days and couldn't win the money.

The casino lost more than 600,000 at one point, but ended up earning 300,000.

That's where the big profits in casinos come in – winning and losing are played out countless times a day, and it's the dealer who wins.

Did the owner of the casino gamble? No. Shi Hu was completely leisurely, driving a plane, basking in the sun, and going to soak in a girl...... But he keeps winning.

This is the highest level of gambling: not gambling, but winning all the time.

A person who always loves to gamble, even if you win more, people will say that you are a bad gambler and will lose all your money sooner or later; And the owner of a casino, people will call him an entrepreneur and a gambling king. Both are gambling, one is idle and the other sits in the bank, but people's worship and envy belong to the banker.

Shi Hu chose to be a bookmaker and also wanted to become a gambling tycoon in Las Vegas.

But it takes a lot of money to become a tycoon, and owning a representative five-star casino hotel is standard, and most of this money is currently earned by playing as a player. Although Shi Hu was blacklisted, Tiger Stone did not, and as long as he didn't play blackjack, the casino was still open to him.

He can't beat the dealer, so he has to beat the player first, and when he has enough money, he can become a big dealer - or even buy a competitor, not only the player, but the rest of the dealer can't play him. The tycoon fortress of Las Vegas will be breached by him sooner or later.
