"Maybe it's because the Chinese people like to gamble, New York to Atlantic City casino bus starting point is set in Chinatown, and in order to attract more people to gamble, the casino has a special set of fares, round-trip tickets are only 18 US dollars, and to Atlantic City, as long as you enter the designated casino, you can exchange the ticket for chips ranging from 25 US dollars to 50 US dollars, of course, there are also free meal coupons."

Manager Li led the way in front while explaining to Ji Cheng, Zhen Guoliu and Cheng Hailin and others.

Lao Ji, his mother and Master Cheng didn't come with them, and Manager Li arranged for someone from Jinlu Company to take them around.

Cheng Hailin asked: "Can the chips exchanged for tickets be exchanged for money?" ”

Zhu Siguo, who had just come by car, said with a smile: "Except for one casino that can only redeem forty dollars in chips, the other casinos are basically okay." ”

Cheng Hailin was surprised: "What if someone cheats the casino money by exploiting this loophole?" ”

"Eh, don't say it, there are really people who make a living from the fortune bus." Manager Li said with a smile.

Cheng Hailin said speechlessly: "Then the casino is not afraid of losing money by doing this?" Saying that, he was still a little annoyed, "When I was studying in a beautiful country, why didn't I think of this way to make money." ”

was about to walk to the gate of the casino, Ji Cheng casually answered, "People who open casinos are not afraid that you will not gamble, but they are afraid that you will not come, one out of ten people will gamble, and the casino will basically not lose money." ”

"That's right." Manager Li nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Although Atlantic City is not very good now, far inferior to Las Vegas, for example, last year, the total revenue of major casinos in Las Vegas reached 7 billion and 50 million US dollars, and Atlantic City only had 2.75 billion US dollars, you must know that as early as 2006, Atlantic City's gaming revenue reached 5.2 billion US dollars, and now more than ten years have passed, and the revenue is only more than half of what it was more than ten years ago, which is too sluggish." ”

As they chatted, the crowd stepped through the door.

There was a commotion, even if it was close to noon and could only be regarded as morning, but there were still countless gamblers inside, some sitting in front of the slot machine, some at the table in the distance, most of the people here had a common characteristic, six or seven out of ten people looked very decadent, but the expression on their faces was very excited, as if they had been doped.

Ji Cheng felt that the "air" here seemed to be fresher.

What surprised Ji Cheng the most was that there were more than 1,000 slot machines here, and there were probably more than 100 gambling tables.

Ji Cheng blinked and said, "So many slot machines? ”

"With 4,000 slot machines and 200 tables, it's the best running casino in Atlantic City." After Manager Li made the final introduction, he immediately said with a smile: "Let's come here this time to gamble on pleasure, don't go up later." ”

"No, it won't."

"Just play a few games, how can you possibly get on top?"

"Eh, this is not for sure, who knows if you will lose in a hurry?"

And the people said everything.

Manager Li proposed: "Otherwise, I will exchange each of you for a thousand dollars in chips, if the thousand dollars in chips are lost, then you will not be allowed to play, what do you think?" ”

A thousand dollars?

Dude is rushing to sweep the casino, if you only have a thousand dollars, it seems a bit difficult.

Ji Cheng suddenly thought of a sentence, thinking that Chen Daozai could win 37 million with 20 yuan back then, why couldn't I, Ji Cheng, win tens of millions of dollars with 1,000 dollars?

Thinking about it, he opened his mouth in support, "I agree with this proposal. ”

"A thousand dollars is almost enough, no more is fun." Zhen Guoliu also followed.

"Okay, a thousand dollars."

"We'll be monitoring each other later."

Everyone agreed.

Subsequently, Manager Li took the money they gave him to exchange for chips.

Zhu Siguo took the opportunity and said, "Later, you will play less slot machines, this thing is easy to enter silently." ”

"Isn't that what slot machines are all about, how can you get addicted to them?" Ji Cheng asked puzzled.

When he used to go to school, there were always a few slot machines next to the school, and he didn't get addicted to them.

Zhu Siguo said: "The slot machines here are basically progressive jackpots, and it is not uncommon to win millions or even tens of millions at once, do you want people to indulge?" ”

Ji Cheng snorted, "Progressive prize pool? ”

Zhu Siguo said: "Yes." ”

Cheng Hailin wondered: "Even if the prize pool is accumulated, how much can a machine accumulate?" ”

"Some machines accumulate the prize pool alone, the amount is not too high, of course, it is not absolute, for example, I know that a God of Gamblers slot machine has not been won for more than 20 years, and finally accumulated nearly 2.3 million US dollars and was won all at once." Speaking of this, Zhu Siguo smiled, "But this is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying is the slot machine with the online jackpot pool, which is easy to win high prizes, for example, I went to Las Vegas to play before, and I saw someone playing for three dollars at Wynn Casino, and as a result, he won the jackpot and won 10,777,000 dollars." ”

it!

More than 10 million dollars out of three dollars?

Ji Cheng was really taken aback by this terrifying prize amount, the kind of slot machine he used to play near the school didn't have a cumulative prize pool, well, maybe he was playing a castrated version, and it was not possible to be afraid of a machine cumulative prize pool, what was terrible was that dozens of hundreds or even thousands of machines shared a prize pool, if he really won the jackpot, at least hundreds of thousands? If you have a lot of words, just think about what Zhu Siguo said, it is not impossible to have millions or tens of millions.

This intrigued him and decided to study how to play slot machines later.

While chatting, Manager Li came back with chips and coins, "I exchanged a thousand chips for you, and I will treat you to a hundred dollars per person for the remaining coins, I said in advance, if you win, you can play whatever you want, but if you lose these chips and coins, you are not allowed to play anymore." ”

"Yes, yes."

"Lao Li, don't worry, I'll win later, please watch the striptease tonight."

"One isn't enough, you have to call four or five strippers."

"Haha, then we have to win."

Everyone was beaming, as if they felt that the victory was in their hands.

Well, the psychological state before gambling is basically like this, always thinking that he can kill all sides.

Ji Cheng thinks the same way, but he doesn't blindly think that he will win like everyone else, because he has a time lapse, and if this thing is used well, it is definitely an invincible existence, isn't it normal to win money?

"I'm going to play blackjack first, and you guys watch and play by yourself." Manager Li ran towards the table area.

Zhen Guoliu said: "I just heard Xiao Zhu say that the slot machine is very interesting, I'll play the slot machine first." ”

The rest of the people also found their own places to play, and even Cheng Hailin went to play roulette.

Ji Cheng took the basket of chips and coins, blinked, "Xiao Zhu, aren't you looking for a place to play?" ”

"Brother Ji, I see that you seem to be playing in the casino for the first time, so I'll accompany you for a while, and I'll play something else when you get acquainted with it." Zhu Siguo is righteous enough.

It just so happened that Ji Cheng didn't know much about the slot machines here, so he simply didn't refuse, "Okay." ”

The two walked inside, and under Zhu Siguo's introduction, Ji Cheng knew that in addition to the casino area, there were also performance areas and leisure areas.

Chatting, let's go to the slot machine area.

There are people sitting in front of almost every slot machine here, but there are some empty seats further inside.

Ji Cheng was just about to take a step and continue walking inside, when suddenly, he saw that there was an empty machine in the dense crowd, obviously there were people sitting on both sides, but no one was playing with it.

I wonder why.

Zhu Siguo suddenly pointed to the slot machine and said: "This slot machine is also a famous gambling god, and no one has won the lottery in thirteen or four years." ”

Ji Cheng sweated for a moment, "Is the slot machine gambling god so ruthless?" No one has won the award for more than ten years? ”

Zhu Siguo spread his hands and said, "Who knows?" Generally, slot machines are pseudo-random probability prizes, such as many casino slot machines to eat a dollar bet, at least for the casino to bring a profit of seven cents, of course, the proportion set by each casino is different, the final prize ratio is also different, and this slot machine has not been awarded for more than ten years, I think there is only one possibility, that is, the original setting of the proportion is set wrong when the ratio, for example, the original set profit ratio is a dollar to earn seven cents, but the result is set to earn seventy cents, or even set the opposite, A dollar payout is only seven cents, and you earn ninety-three cents. ”

If that's the case, it's hard to win money on this slot.

Just thinking about it, Zhu Siguo added, "But then again, the lower the probability of awarding prizes in this way, the closer it is to the probability of true randomness when it is about to reach the critical point of awarding." ”

Ji Cheng saw that an old lady stopped playing, so he ran forward and sat down in front of the slot machine, turned his head and asked, "Is there any difference between true random and pseudo-random?" ”

"It's a big difference." Zhu Siguo stood next to him and shrugged his shoulders and said: "True random is completely disordered, unpredictable, and unrepeatable, such as flipping coins and dice under normal circumstances, but pseudo-random is different, it is through some kind of algorithm, obtaining random values, not really random, such as these slot machines, if its set payout ratio is ninety-three cents per dollar, then if the first 10,000 people do not breed, even if you bet casually when you play, it will be infinitely close to the probability of winning the jackpot." ”

That's right.

If that's the case, it's hard to turn back the clock and make money on slots.

Because the slot machine is pseudo-random, its prize distribution is based on the way the system calculates, that is, this round, for example, the slot machine opened three sevens, if Ji Cheng uses time to go back to a minute ago to raise the bet, then the possibility of missing the lottery again will be very large.

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

Ji Cheng felt that he had to try, if the way to win the slot machine was really like what Zhu Siguo said, then it was not worth wasting his time, after all, he couldn't make money if he turned back time, isn't it a waste of time?

He tried to bet.

Zhu Siguo instructed beside him: "If you want to win the jackpot, you can bet three chips, otherwise if you invest a chip, even if you win the jackpot, you will lose very little, it is not a simple superposition multiple, but a geometric multiplier, such as some one-dollar machines, you cast a dollar bet, which can bring you up to two thousand dollars, two dollars is five thousand dollars, and three dollars can reach an astonishing forty-five thousand dollars, of course, you can also double, this is still not counting the premise of the prize pool, In fact, the jackpot of the shared prize pool must be wagered with three chips to win. ”

"That's right." Ji Cheng somewhat understood.

He tried to put in three coins to start betting.

Not surprisingly, I missed the first game.

Ji Cheng continued to try the second round, and the result was still the same.

After a few rounds of continuous play, he tried to cheat with a time rewind, and then ...... Well, I still didn't hit.

"Damn, this thing is really as pseudo-random as Zhu Siguo said, even if you go back in time, you can't catch it to get wool."

Ji Cheng looked at the slot machine and was speechless for a while, knowing that it was basically impossible to earn back the money he bought the plane by relying on the slot machine.

"Xiao Zhu, is there any gameplay that is more technical?"

Ji Cheng decided not to play pseudo-random, this thing is played by people and machines, and he can't even play it if he is killed.

"Technical content? Blackjack. Zhu Siguo pointed to the gambling table and said: "This thing is too technical, if the technology is enough, the probability of making money is very high." ”

Blackjack?

Ji Cheng blinked, this thing is very technical, but in a sense, it eats the player's mentality.

For example, the dealer has a king, and you can't see the hole card, and then you have sixteen points in your hand, with or not? If you follow, it is easy to burst, and if you don't, the dealer will win you as long as the hole card in his hand exceeds six.

However, there is an interesting rule in blackjack called surrender and lose half.

Of course, there is a premise for this surrender to lose half, and the player only has two cards in his hand to choose to surrender, return half of the bet amount, and the dealer must know that the card is not an ace.

Ji Cheng thought about it for a while and felt that it was feasible, "Let's go, let's go play a few blackjacks and have a look." ”

"Brother Ji, blackjack master?" Zhu Siguo's eyes lit up and asked.

Ji Cheng bragged: "The master may not be counted, but at least he can guarantee that he will not lose money." ”

"How many people come to the casino without losing money? Those who don't lose money are masters! Zhu Siguo said excitedly: "I'll bet with you later, let me win some money." ”

Ji Cheng, who originally just wanted to brag a few words, heard Zhu Siguo say this, but became pressured, it was nothing if he lost alone, if Zhu Siguo, who was bragging about himself, also lost, how embarrassing would this be?

No way!

I can't afford to lose today!

Ji Cheng took a deep breath, feeling that the probability of losing was very low, as long as he made good use of the time rewind, it should be easier for blackjack to win, because this thing will deduct as many points as it gets, and it won't be like the "God of Gamblers" movie to change cards for you or something.

Let's start with blackjack.

Ji Cheng thought that he had come to the table where he was playing blackjack, and he decided to try his skills to see if he could use time to turn back and win money in blackjack, after all, this thing uses a card dealer to distribute cards, who knows if he will do it or not, he will definitely try it.
