Baldwin's farm is not very far from Las Vegas, just over an hour's drive away.

Li Xiaoning and Dai Yimin were both coming to Las Vegas for the first time, and they didn't know where to go first, so they went to the most famous - MGM Plaza. MGM Plaza is the largest entertainment plaza in Las Vegas, located at the intersection of Las Vegas Strip and Tropical Road in the heart of Las Vegas. The hotel is a one-of-a-kind emerald glass façade that consists of four main buildings modeled after an 18th-century Florentine villa in Italy, with interiors inspired by Hollywood, South American, Casablanga and desert oasis. In particular, the bathrooms are made of Italian marble.

At the entrance of the hotel stands a huge golden lion surrounded by a fountain, and the hotel is just like the majestic teacher standing in front of the door, proud of the crowd and dominant, worthy of the reputation of "entertainment capital". As soon as Li Xiaoning and Dai Yimin entered the gate, they saw marble from Italy set off all kinds of strange and strange decorations, dazzling and luxurious.

Li Xiaoning and Dai Yimin watched for a while before entering the casino, the casino area is scattered on different floors, and the casino area has many entrances, giving people a feeling of freedom in and out. When you enter the casino area, you will see dozens of gaming tables, different gaming tables have different ways to play, and in front of each gaming table stand one or two uniformed casino staff, these people are called "dealers". At each table, there are a few players with chips in hand, looking intently at the table, and of course, there are not a few people watching the soy sauce at each table.

Li Xiaoning walked to the table where the dice were played, this kind of play is to bet on the big and the small, maybe it is the progress of science and technology, which is a little different from the dice played in the movie, the dealer in the movie generally has some stunts, such as putting a few dice into the cup, and then shaking it a few times, when the lid is opened, the five dice will be stacked straight together. Li Xiaoning did not see such a stunt, the dealer only needs to press the switch button every time, the three dice in the cup will automatically vibrate, what is the number of the dice after the vibration, and the dealer does not need to count, the sensor in the cup has an automatic identification function, and finally displayed on the electronic display screen on the table, you can directly see the number of the three dice, and the result of adding together, the dealer's main job is to collect chips and send chips.

The size of the game is played if it is more than ten is considered large, and if it is less than ten, it is considered small. In addition to this way of playing, you can also "bet around", that is, put the chips in three grids with the same number, if the final dice are really three of the same number, you can make a net profit of 150,000 yuan by betting on 1,000 yuan, the odds of betting on the size of the dice are one to one, and the odds of betting on the dice are one to one hundred and fifty. This figure seems really tempting, but despite the great benefits, the risks are greater, and the vast majority of bets on the dice have been lost, which can be said to be a bottomless pit that swallows money.

Li Xiaoning looked at it for a while, and saw a middle-aged man walking over, looking like a tourist from China, holding three 10,000 chips in his hand and coming to the dice game table. His eyes looked at the electronic display on the table, carefully studied the points of the previous few times, and finally he carefully put the chips into the "big" circle, and then, the dealer touched the button of the dice cup, and after a few dings, the electronic screen showed "fourteen, big". The dealer doubled to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man played the progressive method, gambling all the 60,000 yuan on the big one. He had to think carefully every time he placed his chips, and he had to look at the record of the previous few points on the display several times, which seemed to be the essence of gambling, and this time he won again. 60,000 became 120,000.

This time he bet 120,000 on the big one again, and this time he won again, 120,000 became 240,000, it seems that he does have a little "magic calculation" skill.

After experiencing "three consecutive wins", this middle-aged man was a little hesitant, looking at the "big" word displayed on the display screen several times ago, and he was indecided, and he was thinking in his mouth; "Is it a big bet or a small bet? It's been so big in a row, it should be small, right? No, it's not true, a master said that in this case, there must be a momentum, and sometimes it can be ten big ones in a row! Next time it will definitely be bigger! ”

Just as the countdown on the electronic screen was about to end, the middle-aged man bet all his chips on the "small".

Then the results came out, and the middle-aged man glanced at the word "big" and left without saying a word.

Dai Yimin looked at the man's back, and couldn't help but say, "It's a pity!" ”

Li Xiaoning smiled slightly and said: "Five hearts are uncertain, lose cleanly." Since he thought of gambling big, he shouldn't be half-hearted. ”

"You're talking light." Dai Yimin glanced at Li Xiaoning and said, "That's 240,000 US dollars!" ”

Li Xiaoning smiled and said: "The most taboo in gambling is this kind of psychology of wanting to win and being afraid of losing, once you bet, you can't hesitate, otherwise you will return empty-handed." ”

As the two men spoke, they came to the roulette table again. Roulette is no one on the side of the service, the wheel is evenly distributed 0 to 36 a total of 37 numbers, when the wheel turns up and stops, the number pointed by the pointer on the wheel is the "winning number", on the table densely packed with numbers written one by one, before the roulette wheel turns, players should choose their favorite numbers, put the chips into the corresponding grid, and finally if you guess the number pointed to on the wheel, the roulette wheel will spit out the chips you should win, if you guess wrong, The chips were swallowed up by the roulette wheel.

Dai Yimin looked at it for a while, and then said to Li Xiaoning with a smile; "There is a flaw in this roulette wheel."

"What's the flaw?" Li Xiaoning asked with a smile.

Dai Yimin said with a serious face: "This game is actually a probability theory, and the probability of each number is the same. I only need to double it infinitely, and there is always one win, so wouldn't the casino lose money? ”

Li Xiaoning shook his head with a smile and said, "You don't have to play to say that, you think you opened the casino?" Casinos have restrictions on this situation, and the maximum number of times you can double is seven, which means that after you have doubled seven times in a row, you will no longer accept your bets. As you said, the game is actually purely a matter of luck. Roulette beginners and experienced casino gamblers will have the same chance of winning. This is the game that requires the least skill and indeed no skill. So, professional gamblers don't play this. ”

"So what do professional gamblers play?" Dai Yimin asked with interest.

"It's blackjack and Texas Hold'em in general." Li Xiaoning took two glasses of champagne from the hand of the passing messenger, handed Dai Yimin a glass, and then said, "Blackjack can be counted cards, and professional gamblers can count cards through guò to win the greatest benefit for themselves." But casinos generally check this kind of card counting people. Although card counting is not illegal, it damages the interests of the casino, and if you are caught, the consequences will be very miserable. Therefore, in comparison, professional gamblers play more Texas Hold'em, which is a game that really tests skills. ”

"Are you going to play Texas Hold'em today?" Dai Yimin glanced at Li Xiaoning with a variety of charms, "I've heard Mr. Tang say that your attainments in Texas Hold'em are quite high!" ”

"Texas Hold'em is definitely to be played." Li Xiaoning took a sip of champagne and said, "But since you're in Las Vegas, it's not interesting to bet on the 10/20 blinds." We're going to go to their VIP room. ”

"How many chips do I need to get into the lounge?" Although Dai Yimin has never been in a casino, he also knows that the VIP room must have a threshold limit.

"It usually takes five million to get in." Li Xiaoning said casually, "But if five million is on the table, it is basically difficult to win." In Texas Hold'em, the number of chips is sometimes more important than the skill. If the opponent's chips are overwhelmingly superior, there will be no room for your skills to be used. So, you have to have at least $10 million to win. ”

"Ten million dollars?" Dai Yimin's eyes widened, "Mr. Li, we are here for leisure, not for losers." Don't go playing. ”

Dai Yimin's age is actually not young, and she usually has a businesslike expression, but now she suddenly became coquettish, which made Li Xiaoning's heart flutter. He couldn't help but glance at Dai Yimin carefully. It was discovered that she was wearing a plain skirt today, and the length of the skirt was only enough to cover her round hips and thighs. The calves wrapped in flesh-colored transparent stockings can be seen at a glance. He only discovered today that Dai Yimin's beautiful legs are so white and tender, so smooth and symmetrical, so delicate and delicate. Dai Yimin is not only dignified and elegant, but also full of temptation. This temptation is enough to make a man willingly fall under her pomegranate skirt.

Sensing the thoughts in his heart, Li Xiaoning hurriedly looked away, gathered his mind, and said with a smile: "I just said that it takes 10 million US dollars to win money in the VIP room, and I didn't say that we have to pay 10 million US dollars ourselves." ”

"If you don't come out, then who will come out?" Dai Yimin couldn't keep up with Li Xiaoning's thinking.

Li Xiaoning smiled and pointed to the dazzling array of gambling tables, "There are so many places to make money here, we only need to contribute a little principal." ”

"How much principal and time does it take to earn 10 million?" Dai Yimin said with a frown. She has no interest in gambling, and she is just here to accompany Li Xiaoning. She didn't want to spend all night in the casino.

"100,000 yuan, one minute!" Li Xiaoning said with a grin.
