Chapter 23: Testing the Waters

Just when Chen Bo went to the Chengchang Hotel on Guanye Street, Tan Jiachang's mobile phone rang, and he asked him to go out to check the person's stacking code here.

"I just found out that Chen Yongle was brought by Ah Hao, and they are currently in the Chengchang Hotel on Guanye Street, and they should go to the VIP room of the Venetian to gamble at night."

"There's news," Tan Jiachang said, "We're going to the Venetian VIP Room tonight, but before we go to the VIP Lounge, we have to go to the ordinary hall to get the admission qualification." ”

Their first task today was to go to the Venetian General Room to win admission to the VIP Lounge.

"Uncle Chen, the time for them to go to the VIP room is about the evening, and it is noon, and we still have six or seven hours to win the qualification to enter the VIP room."

Enter the lobby on the first floor of the Venetian, where hundreds of tables are filled under the resplendent dome. Although it is still daytime, the Venetian gambling hall is already a lively and prosperous phenomenon.

Gu Xingrui's eyes were quickly attracted by all kinds of tricks in the field, including baccarat, Niu Niu, gambling, slot machines, roulette, 21 points, etc.

Among them, baccarat is the most popular game, followed by slot machines, and slot machines also occupy most of the floors of the Venetian, where you can also find the oldest slot machines to satisfy your desires, and the rest is more roulette and blackjack.

Tan Jiachang and his entourage brought 40,000 yuan in cash, which was quickly exchanged for 100 yuan in chips, and if they withdrew more money, they would have to leave the bank card.

40,000 yuan in front of him, but it was only a few dozen brands. The qualification to enter the VIP hall is 300,000 yuan, and there is no upper limit, and there must be a certain amount of heat in the ordinary hall.

It's just that Tan Jiachang is looking for someone in his own name, and it is not good to use the company's money. And 40,000 yuan is best if he can win more chips, if not, he can only pay out of his own pocket and take 300,000 yuan to go out and find someone.

Now their task is to use the 40,000 quick money to stir up the heat in the hall, and then successfully enter the VIP room.

Their preferred choice is baccarat, because in the VIP room, the game offered to high rollers is generally baccarat.

Baccarat, English for Baccarat, baccarat in Italian means "0", originated in France is a card game, popular in casinos across Europe. Among the casinos in Macau, the number of baccarat tables is the largest in the world.

Baccarat is played with 3~8 decks of poker, each deck of 52 cards, shuffled together, placed in a card box, and distributed by the dealer from it.

Each player will strive to have two or three cards in their hand with a total value of 9 or close to 9, with King, Queen, Jack and 10 all counted as 0, and the other cards counted as faced. When calculating, the value of the cards in each hand is added, but only the last digit is counted. The dealer who pays the most on the spot is the banker.

Baccarat games are divided into Bank, Play, Tie and Pair, and some casinos have their own unique betting methods, such as Size, Banker, Banker, Player, Player, Player.

Zhuang and Xian here do not have specific meanings, but only represent both sides of the game, and the sum and the pair are a lottery set up to increase entertainment. Guests can choose Banker, Player, Tie Pair or any other bet according to their own ideas.

I chose a table in baccarat, and Tan Jiachang didn't play baccarat for a long time, and the first table bought a player. Pressed 5 chips, which is 500 dollars.

After the dealer deals the cards, the dealer has a J, an A, an 8, and 9 points in the first game. Player has a 2, a 5, a King, and a 7. The dealer wins the first game.

Five chips were taken away and the first game was lost. The second sentence talks about Jia Chang is more cautious, still 5 chips, pressing the player.

In fact, in Gu Xingrui's view, the probability of winning is 50% for both sides to win the player and the banker, and the probability of winning is 50%

In the second game, the banker has a 3, a 5, a K, 8 points, and the player has a 7, a 5, a 6, 18 points, and only the single digit is 8 points. Both the banker and the player lose, and the one who buys the tie wins.

Five more chips were taken away, and sure enough, it was too long to play, and the hand was raw. And this game is all about luck, and no one can tell the details later.

"Liangliang, you come" Seeing that he lost two in a row, Tan Jiachang decided to change people.

Liangliang did not choose to be as idle as Tan Jiachang, the first pressure to the bank, the odds are 1:1, but the casino will take a 5% margin

In the third game, the banker has a king, a 2, a 5, 7 points, and the player has a 4, a 6, a 5, and 15 points. In this game, the dealer wins.

In the third game, Liang Liang pressed right, except for the rake, and won back 475. In the fourth game, Liang Liang bought leisure, still 5 chips, and the first three games have been out of the bank, so in this game, Liang Liang bought leisure.

After observing for a while, Gu Xingrui still felt that there was no difference between buying idle and buying a banker, it was possible that the first three games were out of the bank, and the fourth game was still a bank. Therefore, I couldn't help but secretly sweat for Liangliang.

At this point, Gu Xingrui felt that with this probability, the best result might be one night, not to lose or win. The odds of winning are not too great, there is no trace at all, and it is also a bit of a headache.

In the fourth game, the dealer has a king, an ace, a 4, and 5 points. Player has a 6, a 2, a J, and 8. The player wins. The odds of 1:1, bright and bright press right, win back 500.

It's not bad, after four rounds, I only lost 25 yuan. It's just that at this rate, 300,000 chips are difficult to win in an afternoon.

On the other hand, in the casino, no matter who wins the banker or the player, the casino will always make money after counting the rake.

In the casino, more than half an hour has passed for just four rounds, and the emotions of the surrounding audience are also very high.

After the end of the four rounds, Tan Jiachang and his party did not rush to continue betting, but circled the casino for a while.

There are no clocks and no windows in the casino, so people who stay in the casino will stay for a long time without feeling the passage of time.

The mats inside the casino are also red carpets, which are very thick. There is a unique fragrance specially blended inside, which gives people a very comfortable feeling. There are hundreds of tables, hundreds of people's space, and the oxygen content in it is also more than 30%, and there is no feeling of lack of oxygen when staying for a long time.

There are no mirrors in the casino, so the gamblers' hesitant looks, excited states, and hideous demeanor when betting on red eyes are not visible to the gamblers themselves, all of which is to create a relaxed atmosphere for gamblers to indulge in.

"Have you gambled before? Ah Rui", the results of the four rounds were not good, and Tan Jiachang stopped gambling and chatted with Gu Xingrui.

"I played mahjong at home, but when I actually got to the casino, I felt completely nowhere to be found." Gu Xingrui couldn't find the way, so she could only tell the truth.

"Yes, the casino is always the winning party, and if you stay for a long time, in fact, gamblers will lose more or less." Tan Jiachang's feeling is similar to Gu Xingrui's.

"I can't figure out why so many people come to gamble, just like Uncle Chen, and they can even spend a lot of money."
