Chapter 146: Lottery Wheel
Just when Hu Kai and his teammates were tidying up and preparing to go, Xiao Xie suddenly applied to Hu Kai and wanted to join their team and act with them.
Xiao Xie's full name is Xie Zhongliang, and he is a mobile game designer of a company.
Xiao Xie told Hu Kai that the reason why he wanted to go with Hu Kai was to find some accessories to make decoders in the city, as well as to find some useful electronic devices that could come in handy on cruise ships.
Xiao Xie's joining is naturally good, everyone packed up and set off together.
Hu Kai, Tingting, Yang Lele, Zhang Shi, Lao K, Ma Haiqi, Xiao Xie and Rabbit Girl Xiaomei, a total of 8 people, followed the instructions on the map and headed towards Pier 2.
Pier 2 and Pier 1 are diagonally opposite, and the distance is quite far. Hu Kai roughly calculated, even if they kept walking forward, it would take at least half a day to arrive. So, it's absolutely not enough to rely on your feet alone.
After consultation, Hu Kai and others followed the map and took the lead in coming to the subway station of Good Luck City. If you can take the subway directly, it will naturally save a lot of time.
The subway stations are similar to some European cities, with old buildings and damp masonry.
Follow the stop sign into the underground passage, but see that inside this passage, it is also dark and dilapidated, and there are many people in tattered clothes gathered inside.
The men were all gathered in front of some of the machines on either side of the hallway, intently watching something.
Hu Kai took a look and was shocked.
This is really worthy of the casino, I didn't expect that in the passage of this subway station, there are also many gambling facilities, such as slot machines, Mac machines and the like, and even mahjong machines!
The poor gamblers are gathering in front of these gambling machines. One by one, they were fascinated, their eyes were round, even if they were not gambling by themselves, they were moving with their hearts, and they were very hard-working.
Hu Kai shook his head, he couldn't figure it out. It's just a few gambling machines, as for the investment? As the saying goes, nine out of ten bets are lost, people play with machines, and it's strange if they don't play you to death!?
Hu Kai didn't stay long, took his team members, and went straight to the ticket hall.
Who knows, when I asked the conductor, there was a subway to Pier 2. But the subway ticket is too expensive, and it costs 12 chips for a one-way trip! A round trip for one person is 24 yuan!
If they were a group of eight, it would be a lot of money.
Hu Kai pondered for a long time, but finally didn't dare to buy a ticket. He felt that instead of spending so much money, it would be better to go up and walk a few stops, and it would not be too late to take the subway when he was tired. Not only save money, but also learn more about the situation.
Make up your mind. And they returned the way they had come.
Who knows, everyone didn't take a few steps. Xiao Tingting stopped in front of a lottery wheel. She looked at the instructions for the spinner wheel carefully, and seemed to be attracted by the anger.
But see that the huge wheel is extremely delicately made, there are a total of thirty slots on it, each other is a blank slot, and the remaining fifteen slots have different rewards written on them, such as Γ1. Γ 2, Γ3 and the like, the highest reward can even be multiplied by 10 times.
"What's wrong, Tingting." After Hu Kai saw it, he asked with a smile, "Do you also want to gamble?" β
"Tingting, don't!" Xie Yufei hurriedly pressed her shoulder and stopped, "This thing is a lie, you see, there are so many gamblers in the subway station, but no one plays this wheel game!" There must be a problem! β
"No, Yufei!" Yang Lele pointed to the rules of the game written under the wheel and said, "Well, you can only play once if you bet at least 50 chips!" Look at those people in the subway station, which one can afford to play? β
"Oh......"
Xie Yufei nodded, and her hand gradually loosened.
"Teacher Hu, I think I can win!" Tingting looked at the lottery wheel intently, and said with confidence.
"Well......" After thinking about it for a while, Hu Kai stretched out his hand and gestured, "Okay, then you can give it a try!" β
"Really?"
Tingting thought that Hu Kai would not agree, but she didn't expect him to agree so happily?
"You see," Hu Kai said, pointing to the grid on the wheel, "at first glance, this wheel is betting on the 50 percent chance of winning, but in fact it is not. The reward slot is constantly multiplying, and once you win, the probability of winning will be much more than 50%! β
"But ......," Xie Yufei was still worried, "what if this machine cheats?" Or is there a magnet in the back or something? β
"It's okay, it's just fun!" I don't know what Zhang Shi thinks, he always disagrees with his fiancΓ©e, he opened his mouth and said, "Anyway, the chips were given by others!" Try your luck? β
Xie Yufei glared at Zhang Shi, Zhang Shi didn't dare to speak.
Tingting looked at Hu Kai, and after getting Hu Kai's nod, she finally had the courage to put the 50 chips into the coin slot of the wheel.
As soon as the chips entered, the wheel flashed as if it had woken up from its slumber. On the electronic display screen above, the word "50" also appeared impressively.
As soon as I saw someone playing the lottery wheel, the gamblers next to me made an uproar, and they all gathered around to watch the excitement. They stared intently at the wheel while they kept muttering something in English.
"Here!"
At Yang Lele's suggestion, Tingting stretched out her hand and patted it lightly from the start button.
In an instant, the huge wheel spun rapidly. During the rotation, there was silence all around, whether it was Hu Kai and the others, or the spectators next to them, their eyes were all wide-eyed, and their eyes were full of infinite anticipation.
After more than ten seconds of rapid spinning, the wheel gradually slowed down.
Wow......
Who knows, as the wheel gets slower and slower, everyone can't help but exclaim.
Suddenly, the only "Γ10" grid, under the shouts of everyone, gradually moved towards the pointer, which couldn't help but make everyone's hearts surge.
Tingting held her breath even more excitedly, her hands tightly grasped the handle of the runner, and her eyes swam rigidly with the "Γ10" grid.
At that time, as the speed of the reel was reduced to the slowest level, the grid of "Γ10" actually entered the range of the pointer, and Tingting was about to win a big victory and get 500 chips!
The crowd couldn't help but shout: "Stop! Stop! Stop! Even the spectators raised their arms and shouted "STOP!" β
However, with the inertia of the runner, the "Γ10" grid finally drew the pointer range, and then suddenly stopped, and it was only one finger missing!
Since it was a space that ended up in the pointer range, it meant that Tingting's 50 chips had been lost.
"Hey...... Yikes!! β
Zhang Shi slapped his head fiercely, and the spectators next to him also shook their heads!
Tingting couldn't believe her eyes, and was still silently watching the results on the wheel, refusing to leave.
"Hehe, it's just fun!" Hu Kai patted Tingting's shoulder comfortingly and said, "Let's go, there will be a chance to play in the future!" β
Although Tingting was unwilling, under the persuasion of Hu Kai, she still turned around silently.
"Little sister!" Who knows, at this time, Ma Haiqi, who has been quiet, suddenly stood in front of the two of them, and said to Tingting, "Do you want to try again?" I have a way for you to double what you lose - win it back! (To be continued.) )
