Eric went to the counter and exchanged a few thousand Oren chips.

It's not that he wants to gamble, it's just that it's not normal to act without changing chips in the casino. Although the "desert aristocracy" of the Western Continent looked left and right, and his face was full of novelty, it happened to present the first time that a foreigner came to this kind of place.

A short time later, Bell came in. Eric beckoned at him.

Personnel are available as planned. Eric tells everyone what to do next: Anyway, sit down and make a small bet so as not to attract attention, and then go to find Io.

Newsom, dressed in white, casually pointed to a table with a game of "baccarat". Beside him, the boy Arwen struggled to hide his disgust and helped his "master" to his seat.

Eric only knows a little about the gambling form of baccarat, not to mention that now he doesn't want to win, he just wants to end it quickly.

At his signal, Newsom took a few chips at random, picked a random spot and threw them. That's not a small amount for the average person.

The guy next to him couldn't help but laugh when he watched the heroic movements of this exotic nobleman, and he probably didn't know how many stupid words he scolded Newsom in his heart.

Newsom is clearly aware of this, but he still waits for the results to come out with an unchanging face. Although he knows the rules of the game, he deliberately pretends to be confused. Because this is a desert aristocrat who comes to the casino for the first time.

Eric already knew that he was not thin-skinned, otherwise he would not have had to compete with himself in the first place. On the contrary, Arvin was immediately impressed with him, on the grounds that he had successfully created the image of a rich old hat.

Very good actors.

Soon, the bookmaker shows the results. The novices' good fortune didn't favor Newsom, and they lost as expected.

At this time, four casino security guards suddenly came running from not far away, rushing straight towards this table.

Could it be exposed? The hearts of the four of them suddenly rose to their throats. Eric immediately began to wonder where the horse's feet were exposed. Bell is ready to make a big move.

However, it was only a false alarm, and the security rushed towards a gambler who was two seats apart.

"What are you doing!" shouted his gambler, flailing his arm to block the incursion.

The security guards don't care about this: "You know what you did. ”

At this point, one of the security guards pulled a low-value chip from the man's right hand. Then he singled out the big denomination at the bottom of the stack of chips he had suppressed.

"Don't think we don't know, stealing chips is enough to keep you in the police station for a while. ”

The man bowed his head in resignation and obediently let the security take him away.

The show began and ended quickly.

Eric already understood what was happening.

Cheat.

Casinos exist to get money, and winning more and losing more is the law of the Gold Coast. Many gamblers even gamble all night and lose outright. So some people play tricks to ensure victory.

On the Gold Coast, this is nothing new. There are not a few guys who choose to take risks in the face of huge wealth. But it's also lucky to be able to meet scammers at the same table.

That guy was undoubtedly one of them. His approach is also easy to interpret. If you win after the dealer has opened, you can use a quick move to switch the high-value chips you have hidden in your hand with the low-value chips you have previously bet on the bottom by taking advantage of the dealer's inattention.

If you succeed, you'll be able to win more money.

It's a pity that he failed.

The only thing Eric cared about was how the casino saw the subtle movements of the man's hands. Because gamblers who choose to cheat are usually very skillful and will not be noticed by the dealer. Those security guards seemed to know that someone was cheating here from the beginning, and the four of them all came straight over.

There is something strange. It seems that there is something else watching here besides the human eye.

The routine Alpha Eye opens. As Eric had expected, the ceiling was densely covered with magical colors.

All are magical watch guards. Not surprisingly, it should be a product provided by alchemist White.

All gamblers' every move is under the watchful eye of the casino. It seems that casinos are armed to the teeth in order to prevent gamblers from cheating.

The base of the crow needs these things, too.

The thought crossed Eric's head. He told the other three about this and told them to pay attention to their words and deeds.

Leaving the baccarat table, the crowd moved on. They followed the goblin to the staircase of the gambling area on the first floor and walked upstairs.

The fairy flew straight upwards and never stopped. It seems that Io is on a very high floor.

After passing through the dice and slot machines, roulette and other areas on the second and third floors, the fourth floor is a mixed area.

Eric didn't plan to gamble again, time was getting shorter, and there was no need for superfluous actions.

Unfortunately, the plan didn't go so smoothly.

When the goblin flew through the crowd for a long time and came to the staircase that led to the fifth floor, Eric and the others were stopped.

"I'm sorry sir, but there is no traffic ahead. ”

Oh, the unexpected. It's a real headache.

Although it seems that the fifth floor is indeed a special space. First of all, it is not connected to the staircase of the four floors below, and it takes a long walk to reach it. It's closer to the corner of the edge of the window, so inconspicuous that you can't even spot it if you don't pay attention. Even the width of the staircase is half as narrow as before.

Io is on it.

"Hey, don't be so nervous. The staircase is for people to go up. Since your casino has opened the fifth floor, it means that there must be something interesting on it, right? Eric tried to break through.

Bell, who was on the side, was a little impatient because he was blocked, he stood next to Eric and grinned at the security guard in front of him, and showed his strong muscles to the security guard who was blocking the way.

The security guard did not react much to Bell's provocative movements, but silently touched his waist.

It was the shape of a gun.

In order to prevent thugs from making trouble and robbing in the casino, the security of the casino is allowed to wear firearms.

The security guards standing at the edge of the floor also looked around.

Eric desperately tried to scold Bell for being a fool. He knew that Bell had done so because he was worried about Io's safety. He also knew that Bell was just a bear with a lack of intelligence.

In order not to make a big deal out of it, he glared at Bell, thus causing the latter to bow his head and back away.

"I'm sorry, but please forgive my companion for being rude. But in any case, please tell me how to get to it. If it is calculated purely by the wealth he has, I believe that my master is completely qualified. ”

The security guard who stood in the way saw Newsom's desert aristocratic attire.

"I'm sorry, but please believe that I didn't mean to offend. But the Gold Coast has its own rules. Because not everyone is suitable for the above entertainment programs, I am afraid that entering rashly will cause discomfort. This is for your safety. ”

"But my host wanted to experience all that the Gold Coast has to offer. ”

Eric tried to fight for it.

Thankfully, security doesn't seem to have completely blocked the road.

"If you really want to enter, you can go to the Free Challenge Zone in the middle of the hall. There you can specify any gambling items you want, and as long as you win against our manager, you will be able to meet your requirements. However, the challenge is expensive. ”

"As long as there is a way, we are never short of money. ”

Eric couldn't normally say anything like that.

"Believe me, no matter how rich you are, you can't play a few games like that. Because there is no hope of winning at all. I've been a security guard here for a few years, and I've seen people who have made it to the fifth floor by winning the challenge game, and it's only in the single digits. ”

I can't see that this security guard is still a kind guy.

"Thank you for your advice. But my host loves thrilling challenges. Eric dropped the sentence and left with the other three.

Security shook his head, expressing helplessness.

It wasn't until the four Eric had left that another security guard standing at the top of the stairs stepped forward to talk to his colleague.

"No wonder you were promoted so quickly, with your rhetoric of wanting to get away with it, there are really more and more big fish that have been hooked. ”
