Chapter 258 A Small Gamble

"The chips in the Golden Casino are divided into various denominations, with the smallest being five Mi-dollars and the largest being one million Mi-dollars."

"Brother Qin Xuan, this is your first time here, don't play too big."

"Just exchange a lot of small chips to play around."

"As for my guide fee..."

"If it's possible, I'd like to ask for 100 Mi-dollar chips."

Asking for 100 Mi-dollar chips?

Amy's request completely stumped Qin Xuan.

For a guide working eight hours a day, 100 Mi-dollars wasn't too high.

He could completely accept it.

But Qin Xuan couldn't understand why this little girl wasn't using the 100 Mi-dollars to supplement her family's income, but instead wanted to exchange it for gambling chips.

However, despite his confusion, Qin Xuan didn't want to say much.

Everyone had their own way of surviving.

Amy earned her money through her own work as a guide, and how she wanted to spend it was her freedom.

"Alright, you're the guide, I'll listen to you."

"And for your guide fee, I'll pay as you said."

Qin Xuan nodded and, as she suggested, directly exchanged for fragmented chips worth fifty thousand Mi-dollars.

After distributing the remaining chips to Yuan Mengqi and the other three, he took out a round chip worth one hundred Mi-dollars from his own hand and handed it to Amy.

"Thank you, Brother Qin Xuan!"

"You are the kindest Dragon Country person I've ever met, besides my master!"

"Heh heh, really?"

Qin Xuan smiled and rubbed his nose, quite pleased with Amy's compliment.

Although he knew this might be a common customer service phrase.

But there was no help for it.

In this world, who could refuse the praise of such a cute and beautiful little angel?

"Alright, Amy, take us inside."

"Okay!"

After receiving the chips, Amy's steps visibly quickened.

She had thought she might have to work hard to get chips today, but she didn't expect Qin Xuan to be so agreeable.

Therefore, she was very dedicated in her subsequent explanations.

"This is the slot machine area."

"The large and small cabinet machines, the gameplay is more or less the same."

"This one is the simplest, it's about pressing patterns."

"As long as the final determined pattern matches the pattern you chose, you'll get the corresponding points."

"This one is another version, it's a bit harder than patterns, you have to press the sequence."

"When there's a pattern you chose in this long row of patterns, you win."

"However, in terms of returns, this one is the highest."

"Every so often, its jackpot accumulates automatically, and if someone wants to claim the jackpot, they have to continue contributing to it."

"..."

The Golden Casino lived up to its reputation as a famous casino in the area, with hundreds of slot machines alone.

Qin Xuan and Yuan Mengqi also tried them, and naturally lost everything on these unfamiliar machines.

"Ah, just one more 77, and we could have cleared the entire jackpot!"

"A full 1 million Mi-dollars!"

"What a pity, what a pity!"

Wan Lingqiu put in another 5 Mi-dollars, still contributing to the jackpot.

She sighed in annoyance and then pulled Yuan Mengqi and the others, continuing to walk deeper into the casino.

Passing through the densest area of slot machines, a huge table appeared before them.

The table had squares of various colors and numbers, and next to the dealer was a circular spinning wheel divided into 38 slots, each with different numbers and colors.

"This is roulette, right?"

"I've seen it on TV!"

Wan Lingqiu excitedly said to Qin Xuan and the others, and Amy also smiled in agreement.

"Sister Wan is right, this is roulette, or more accurately, American roulette."

"The gameplay of American roulette is relatively simple."

"Single numbers, combinations, odd or even, colors, ranges, etc."

"Anything that can appear on the wheel can be bet on."

"However, the odds vary according to the probability of each situation occurring."

"The highest probability is definitely odd/even or color, and the lowest is a single number."

Amy's explanation was very clear, and after listening, everyone immediately understood the gameplay of American roulette.

As the previous betting round had just ended, they quickly exchanged their cash chips for colored chips to distinguish ownership.

"I'll bet a little randomly, let's go with 100 Mi-dollars on number 6."

Looking at the dense betting options, Qin Xuan decided to directly choose the most exciting betting method.

And just as he was about to place his chip on the number 6 betting spot, Wan Lingqiu couldn't help but remind him, "Brother Qin Xuan, this won't work."

"The probability of hitting a single number is in the single digits, if you bet like this, aren't you just giving them money?"

To avoid unnecessary trouble, the four girls had adopted the same way of addressing Qin Xuan as little Amy.

And among them, Wan Lingqiu called him "Brother Qin Xuan" most naturally.

"I think you should just choose colors or odd/even like me."

"In these thirty-eight slots, besides two green ones, the rest are black and red."

"For numbers, except for 0 and 00, they are all odd or even."

"If you bet on these two, the winning probability is over forty percent, even if it's not half."

Wan Lingqiu's analysis was naturally reasonable.

However, Qin Xuan still smiled and waved his hand, placing his chip on the number 6 he had chosen earlier.

Winning or losing wasn't what he cared about.

He was just gambling for fun, so he naturally focused on enjoyment.

Otherwise, if he purely wanted to gamble for money, Qin Xuan could easily use his ability to hear inner voices.

In that case, it wouldn't take long before he had won most of the money in the Golden Casino.

"Place your bets," the dealer handed the ivory ball to the player who had bet the most in this round.

This was the player's own request.

After all, the dealer used the same roulette wheel every day, and their control over the force of the throw had reached a very precise level.

If the dealer were allowed to operate freely, it was possible they might deliberately favor the house (the casino).

Clasping his hands together, the player prayed with the ball held between them, and then forcefully threw the ball along the edge of the roulette wheel.

As the ball spun around the outer edge of the wheel, many players who had placed large bets began to shout out their wishes.

"Ten, ten, ten!"

"Line, line, line!"

"Zero, zero, zero!"

The shouts for bets rose one after another.

And amidst everyone's fervent shouts, the speed of the ivory ball gradually slowed down.

It spun rapidly near the edge of the roulette wheel for a few turns, then with a click, it fell directly into the wheel made of cherry wood.

The ball bounced a few times and was finally caught by a slot.

As the ball came to a complete stop, the final result of this round of roulette was fresh out of the oven.

"Black, number 6!"
