Chapter 5 Pai Huang
In the United States, operating a casino is a legal business.
In the town where Alec is located, there is a black casino and no business license, so he hides his head and hides his tail and sets the casino in the alley. Compared with the two, the casinos in the city are much more domineering. The casino is located in the city's busiest city center, with a pool in front of it and a group of scantily clad girls at the door. Next to the casino, luxury hotels, man-made beaches, banks, real estate companies, and tour companies are all available to create the best environment for gamblers.
The smallest chip in the casino was $100, and Alec had only enough money to redeem for ten chips.
In casinos with a lot of high rollers, gamblers like Alec are not even small fish, at most inconspicuous shrimp. But this shrimp is an open shrimp, and in most ordinary casinos, a transcendent perception can make him invincible.
Alec still chose to bet on dice.
With the ability of Transcendent Perception, he can directly sense the size of the dice...... In other words, bet big or small, he can win with his eyes closed.
Ten minutes later, the weights in Alec's hand turned into a small pile again, which attracted the attention of many gamblers. Even though Alec has always maintained the strategy of winning three and losing one, after a long time, many people still began to bet with him.
A few waitresses stepped forward and thoughtfully exchanged the scattered chips into whole numbers.
Alec counted it, and he already had more than $20,000 in his hand.
The gamble continues.
This time the dealer's luck was very good, and he directly shook out three 2s.
This is a very cheating situation, because it means that the dealer takes all, and the gambler will lose whether he bets big or small. But it's also the highest payout of all bets, with a full 151x odds as long as the bet wins. Alec had $20,000 in his hand, and if he had pressed it all on One Color (dealer-take-all), $20,000 would have become a full $3 million.
But he also has some concerns, he has won a little too many times, many gamblers are betting with him, the multiplier of one color is too high, if someone really calls with a big bet, the casino will output tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars at one time......
Casino owners are not good, and if they lose tens of millions, someone will definitely talk to Alec cordially.
To bet, or not to bet?
Alec glanced at Logan behind him, with Wolverine's protection, he had the courage to take this money.
There was skill in the bet, and Alec didn't want to offend the casino too much, so he first pressed $10,000 on the big, then put the scattered chips on the small, and finally put $10,000 on the Isshiki. This is a very conservative style of play, and it is also the most difficult way for gamblers to call, most gamblers will choose one bet between big and small, and very few will press him the same color.
Soon, the crowd bets were completed.
Alec looked at the chips on the table and quickly calculated how much money the casino would lose this time - 8 million.
This number should be within the casino's acceptance range.
It's just that this dealer who shakes the dice is afraid that he is going to be unlucky.
The mystery was revealed, three or two points appeared in front of everyone, Alec wailed behind him, most of the gamblers were very sensible, only a few people dared to bet on one color, but unfortunately only these few people made money in the end.
Alec's face was replaced by a golden square chip, representing a full million dollars.
The dealer who presided over the game turned pale, said sorry, and got up to leave the table. Several gamblers who won the money were snickering all over their faces, and they all knew that the dealer was going to be unlucky. There are very few fools among gamblers, and those who come to gamble are people who think they are smart, but ironically, these smart gamblers end up giving away all their wealth to the casino.
Soon, a man in a black suit walked up to the gaming table, and with him, there was a middle-aged man dressed as a cowboy. This person is also a mutant named Gambit.
Of course, he has another name, called Pai Huang.
Alec didn't recognize T-Ei.
Although he is a loyal Marvel fan, the large number of mutants, plus the fact that he has spent decades in hell, many characters have forgotten.
The middle-aged man walked up to the gambling table, bowed to everyone, and said, "You have been waiting for a long time, the last dealer had to leave the gambling table temporarily because he was unwell, and then I will preside over the gambling game for everyone." Here, I want to apologize to everyone first, because I am not proficient in rolling dice, but good at poker, stud, Texas Hold'em, and blackjack, I wonder if you are interested? ”
The temporary change of play made many gamblers dissatisfied, and the crowd around the table dispersed by half.
Alec was also one of those who left.
He's made enough money, $1.5 million is a huge amount of money, and with this money, he and Logan can live very stylishly, and they won't have to worry about money for a long time.
The Emperor didn't know Alec, but he did know Logan, and he whispered a few words to the middle-aged man, and then caught up with the two who were exchanging chips.
"Hey, Logan, long time no see."
"You ......"
"Pai Wang, we've seen it before...... I mean, before you lose your memory. ”
Pai Huang looked at Alec and said with a smile, "This is your new partner?" Making money in a casino is a smart thing to do. ”
Alec carefully looked at the card king in front of him, and finally had some impression in his mind.
Unlike Wolverine, he doesn't have the ability to live forever, so he's a lot older than he looks in the movies. In the X-Men: Wolverine prequel, the King of Cards is a young face, and now, he has entered middle age, far less dashing than he looks in the movies. Alec looked at Logan and then at the Emperor of Cards, and an idea popped into his head that was interesting to the limit.
As a Hell Merchant, he was able to borrow the power of the Hell Pact, and with the fact that he was a Hell Merchant, there was theoretically nothing he couldn't sell.
The Merchant of Hell is a coveted attribute of all devils, and Alec's ability to become a High Fire Spirit in Hell is a great achievement. Of course, this identity brings more than just benefits, he was hunted down and escaped from hell in embarrassment, but also because he exposed this identity, which caused the eyes of a certain big man in hell.
This is Aggreko's biggest hole card.
……
Alec Thief laughed twice, the card king has worked in the casino for decades, presumably he is rich, if his plan is successful, the assets that the card king has worked hard to save for decades will be cheap for him and Logan.
"Hey, Logan, I'd like to buy you something."
Logan was confused: "What? ”
A strange smile appeared on Alec's face: "Lifespan." ”
Logan's eyebrows twitched, the expression on his face was very exciting, he gouged out his ears, and asked, "I didn't hear it clearly, what did you say?" ”
Alec rolled his eyes and repeated again, "I'd like to get you some lifespans." ”
Logan: "......"
