"Wow!"

"I actually won again!"

"Awesome, so awesome!"

I don’t know when it started, but a blackjack table not far away was crowded with people, and screams came from time to time, attracting the attention of the dealer who dealt the cards to Locke.

Listening to the discussion of those who were watching, one gambler used a thousand dollars and had won almost thirty thousand dollars so far. Most of the nearby gamblers gathered around at this time.

In the casino, everyone agrees on following the red. After all, sometimes when a person's luck comes up, it will really be the gods who stand in the way and the gods who stand in the way, and the Buddha who stands in the way.

If you follow it at this time, you will definitely win money, which is also what some people call good luck.

But there is also a prerequisite for this, which is to control your greed and know when to withdraw, because if you continue, no matter how great your luck is, you will run out, and then the situation will be reversed, and you may even lose the other way around. Clean and tidy.

The dealer had seen this too much, and at this time he just sighed in his heart about his good luck, and then found Locke sitting there motionless, and couldn't help but ask: "Sir, why don't you come over and play a few games?"

"No, actually I'm pretty lucky today." Locke smiled.

"Indeed." The croupier nodded in agreement and glanced at the chips in Locke's hand. They had grown from a thousand dollars at the beginning to more than four thousand dollars now.

"That's almost it." After another $300 was added to the account next time, Locke did not choose to continue. Instead, he threw a chip to the dealer as a tip, collected today's gains, got up and left.

Seeing that Locke did not stop and chose to exchange chips, the dealer thought that this was a smart man who knew how to give up when he was good.

After converting the harvested chips into cash, Locke moved to another medium-sized casino. This was also to avoid attracting attention. Win a portion of a casino, shoot one shot for another land, and try to win as much as possible.

He actually doesn't have much interest in gambling. He came here just to earn some living expenses. He doesn't plan to come here often and waste time studying and brushing up on skills.

On the first night, Locke visited several casinos. In the morning, he went back to his room to rest for a whole morning and then changed to a luxury hotel. After lunch, he changed his outfit from top to bottom in a nearby shopping mall and left the shopping certificate. .

These are all tax deductible and will come in handy when Locke is ready to leave Las Vegas.

Locke had no intention of being like the team in the Blackjack movie and risking their lives by strapping wads of cash to avoid paying taxes.

The tax after winning money here is indeed terrifying, basically close to 50%, but for Locke, the small amount of profit saved by tax evasion is far from enough to put him at risk of getting into trouble with the IRS.

After leaving the mall, Locke had already put on high-end brands and asked the mall to deliver the rest of the purchased goods to the hotel room. He came to the splendid Caesars Palace Hotel.

After walking around the hall, Locke came to the VIP area.

The level here is obviously much higher. Locke, who is already confident, is relaxed at this time. There are more experts in preventing cheating in big casinos. He plans to play casually and lose a little first, so he chooses to sit down at a baccarat table. , put down the chips.

After the dealer dealt the cards, he learned with great interest the classic card-reading posture he had seen in gambling movies in his previous life, where he slowly unveiled the cards and secretly glanced at them.

This feeling of not having to think about calculations and purely relying on luck is quite interesting to experience occasionally.

At this time, a gust of fragrant wind came, and then a pleasant female voice came into my ears.

"Three sides, three sides, top, top!"

This was a classic bidding sound. As Locke finally revealed the cards, he didn't expect that he actually won the bid due to the bidding sound behind him.

He turned his head and glanced, and saw a young and charming girl wearing a tight-fitting suit and a red short skirt standing next to him. He couldn't help but look surprised in his eyes.

Beauties are not uncommon at Caesars Palace Hotel. Although he cannot be said to be well-informed, he has experienced top-notch beauties and has long been able to remain calm. What surprised him was the familiar appearance of the beauties around him, which reminded him of BJ met Wen Jiajia in Seattle.

And judging from the youthful appearance of the other party, he must be less than twenty years old.

There was interest in his heart, but Locke remained calm on his face. After the dealer pushed the winning chip over, he casually handed a hundred chips to the other party.

Joy flashed in the beauty's eyes, and she took it easily, with a somewhat skillful movement.

Looking at the beauty's dress, Locke has confirmed that she must be the female publicist in the casino, or a female gambling companion who specializes in gambling with customers and earning tips.

For a single gambler, it is indeed a very good thing to have a beautiful woman by his side, who can call out for him in various ways, have close contact from time to time, and even have the opportunity to invite her to a follow-up event after the game is over. .

When gamblers become more interested, they will naturally play more. Even because there are beautiful women around them, vanity will cause them to bet bigger and bigger, and the casino will naturally make more money. After all, nine times out of ten bets, they will lose.

Wanting to be a female gambling partner also requires skills. In addition to beauty, you must also be familiar with various gambling games, be able to grasp the psychology of gamblers in a timely manner, mobilize the gamblers' gambling nature, and still be able to play when the gamblers lose money. To appease the mood of good gamblers.

Being interested in this person, Locke did not count cards. He thought that if he lost all the money he just won, he would go to blackjack and complete the tasks planned for today.

The beautiful publicist was still standing behind him, helping Locke with various calls whenever he looked at the cards.

What Locke didn't expect was that in the next period of time, his luck was actually very good. However, after a while, the 10,000 US dollars in chips he exchanged actually more than doubled, which was considered to have completed the initial plan.

In this case, Locke saves the effort of counting cards over there. He just stops when he feels good, gets up and prepares to leave the gambling table. After all, luck is temporary.

The beautiful publicist was still following Locke at this time. Locke turned his head and looked at her, then smiled and stretched out his hand: "Locke Lee."

"My name is Alice." The other party smiled and shook hands with Locke.

"Your Chinese name, your real name." Locke changed into Chinese.

"Tang Wei." The beautiful publicist was surprised that Locke spoke Chinese so well. She was slightly stunned and said another name.

"A native of Hangzhou?"

"How did you tell?"

"There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Hangzhou is famous for producing beautiful women." Locke said with a smile: "How did you come to the United States to study abroad at public expense?"

"No, my father is here. He picked me up."

"The time you spend here should be quite long. How do you feel? America is not a paradise either?"

"Why do you say that."

"Why else would you work here instead of going to school?" Locke said with a smile.

Tang Wei smiled and said: "I have already received an offer from Columbia University. I am here to work part-time to earn tuition. After all, the tuition is too expensive."

"Yeah." Locke nodded understandingly.

"You think so too?"

Tang Wei joked: "The tuition is expensive for me. For a rich person like you, it's just a matter of buying a car, right?"

"The landlord's family doesn't have any food left." Locke shrugged his shoulders and didn't explain much.

"Are you still playing?" Tang Wei suggested: "You are very lucky today. If you continue, you will definitely win a lot."

'Sure enough' Locke knows that casinos grasp human nature very well. As long as they win money, the female publicist will definitely encourage the gamblers to continue, and they will get a lot of tips.

Facing invitations from beautiful women and the psychology of winning money all the time will lower people's vigilance.

But there is no reason to win all the time. Luck can be high or low. If you keep playing, the casino will only win in the end.

If you want not to lose, you still have to change to a familiar battlefield: "Then blackjack, I'm best at this, people call me the little prince of blackjack."

These days, the so-called legend of gamblers eating chicken has not yet spread widely. There are still only a few people who can count cards, and they all fight in groups.

With a female publicist beside him, it is impossible to form a team to fight. As long as Locke can control it well, the casino will at most think that he is lucky. Geniuses like him who can form a team by one person are really rare, and there are not many in the entire United States.

It’s just that I won too much this time, so I probably won’t be able to come to this casino for a while to avoid being targeted.

Locke didn't care. He was just replenishing his pocket money, and had no intention of treating this as a long-term career, let alone coming here every weekend like he did in Blackjack.

And it’s only 1990 now. It’s not like ten years from now. Casinos will even pay a lot of money to buy a system. Through surveillance and computers, it can automatically detect Qianhe’s card counting directly based on facial expressions and abnormal card table income and expenditure. people.

Even if they come here every week, wouldn't they change several casinos? There are so many casinos in Las Vegas. The team in the movie can work for a family, how can they not be targeted?
