Chapter 41 Money is hard to get, it's hot as a flame.
I lit the incense and bowed three times!
After inserting the incense into the incense burner, Chen Jie was led to the second floor by the lobby manager.
Several tall, muscular men stood at the top of the stairs.
They were dressed in sharp black suits, with stern faces and sharp eyes. They appeared to be standing still, but in reality, they were constantly on guard of their surroundings.
However, they did not question or stop Chen Jie and Wei Lang in any way.
The core business of New Sun Casino is casinos, and casinos have their own rules.
Anyone who is dressed neatly, regardless of their status, may enter freely.
All visitors are welcome, and no one will stop us without reason!
Only the top-tier VIP rooms deep on the second floor are reserved for private access, preventing ordinary tourists from entering. Only VIPs with exclusive passes are allowed to enter.
Stepping onto the second floor, the atmosphere inside is instantly breathtaking.
Chen Jie had never been to a casino before, and he never imagined that so many people in Wa State, Myanmar and Yunnan, were addicted to gambling.
The hall was bustling with noise.
The gamblers' cheers, sighs, and shouts mingled together, revealing a sense of madness and restlessness.
The games offered are very diverse, basically in line with international standards, and cover all kinds of mainstream gambling methods.
The Baccarat gambling table was the most crowded.
The gamblers sat around the table, their eyes fixed on the cards on the table, their expressions tense yet excited, appearing quite professional.
Next to it were blackjack, stud poker, roulette, and other gambling tables, each surrounded by a crowd of people.
The left side of the area is lined with rows of slot machines, flashing colorful lights and occasionally emitting jarring winning sound effects.
Chen Jie gestured to Wei Lang to wait by the baccarat table and not to wander around.
Subsequently,
He casually strolled around the second-floor lobby, seemingly observing the gambling games, but in reality, he was secretly investigating the layout of the entire building.
At the same time, he quietly released his divine sense to perceive the surrounding atmosphere and occasionally threw out a small array flag.
Unconsciously,
A faint, chilling aura quietly permeated the entire entertainment complex, following Chen Jie's divine sense.
The once noisy and hot hall seemed to have cooled down a bit.
However, this coolness concealed a subtle chill, which seemed out of place amidst the hustle and bustle of the casino.
It's exactly like the casino in the movie.
The dealers at each gambling table were all beautiful and slender girls.
They were dressed in uniform, with exquisite makeup, and their movements were skillful.
He wore a perfectly professional smile, but his eyes held a hint of detachment and calmness.
The walls are covered with surveillance cameras, each lens pointed at a gambling table.
Every corner is under surveillance.
Anyone who dares to cheat or swindle here is simply courting death.
Any unusual movement will be instantly controlled by security personnel lurking in the shadows.
But whether it's these cold surveillance cameras or the sharp-eyed watchdogs lurking in the corners, they all work together.
For Chen Jie, it was all meaningless.
His divine sense had already quietly spread out, enveloping the entire New Sun Entertainment City.
No movement in the room, not even the slightest tremor of a gambler's fingertips or the dealer's subtle expression while dealing cards, could escape his scrutiny.
There is a counter for exchanging chips at the entrance of the second-floor lobby.
Two staff members sat behind them, with various chips neatly arranged in front of them.
These chips are made of special hard plastic, with clear numbers and exclusive anti-counterfeiting codes printed on the surface, and have a substantial feel.
Casino chips use extremely sophisticated anti-counterfeiting technology.
Each one is unique, engraved with a detailed number, making it impossible to counterfeit and eliminating fake chips at the source.
No transaction fees are charged for exchanging chips!
However, a 7% commission must be paid when exchanging chips for cash.
This is the casino's rule, and also one of its sources of profit.
Chen Jie turned his head and nodded slightly to Wei Lang, signaling him to go and exchange 100,000 yuan in chips.
Wei Lang didn't ask any questions, silently agreed, turned around and walked towards the counter, remaining silent throughout.
A subtle hint of seriousness lingered between his brows.
Since arriving in Wa State, he has been preoccupied and unable to relax.
Chen Jie looked at his tense back, smiled faintly, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.
then,
He said confidently, "Don't worry, with me here, there won't be any problems."
A simple sentence, yet it exuded an undeniable confidence, slightly easing Wei Lang's tension.
Subsequently,
Chen Jie turned and walked towards the blackjack gambling table not far away.
He nodded slightly to the female dealer at the counter, a faint smile on his face, and casually pulled over a chair to sit down.
His calm and composed demeanor was completely different from the restless gamblers around him.
There were about two hundred gamblers in the room at the time, along with the service staff, the dealers performing their duties, and the vigilant security guards, making it exceptionally lively.
Because of this,
Ordinary gamblers like Chen Jie, dressed plainly and with a calm demeanor, went unnoticed by anyone.
Everyone was engrossed in their own bets, their minds preoccupied with winning and losing.
It is currently afternoon.
Sunlight streamed in obliquely through the floor-to-ceiling windows, mingling with the interior lighting.
The second-floor gambling hall became incredibly lively, with gamblers shouting, the clinking of chips, and the sounds of slot machines all blending together into a cacophony of noise.
Chen Jie picked up the 100,000 chips he had just exchanged and pushed them forward without hesitation.
The chips landed on the gambling table with a crisp clinking sound, instantly attracting the attention of several gamblers nearby.
Blackjack is a game where the casino owner acts as the banker, betting against multiple players.
The crowd sat around the gambling table, each holding a card and comparing its value with the dealer's card, represented by the dealer.
If the house wins, they take all the players' chips; if they lose, they pay out according to the rules.
It's simple and straightforward to play, yet incredibly addictive, rivaling the popularity of baccarat and making it one of the most popular games in casinos.
but,
Blackjack requires slightly more skill than baccarat.
It requires not only luck, but also a test of the gambler's courage and judgment.
After the initial cards are dealt, if the points do not meet expectations, gamblers can request the dealer to add more cards at any time.
As long as the total points don't exceed 21, there's still a chance to win.
However, if the points of the added cards exceed 21, it is considered a "bust" and the bet is lost immediately.
Baccarat requires almost no skill; the outcome is decided as soon as the cards are dealt, and the pace is extremely fast, with round after round, making it easier for people to become addicted.
Gambling is essentially a psychological game.
Once gambling begins, most people find it difficult to remain calm.
They always crave continuous excitement, wanting to win more after winning and wanting to turn things around after losing, betting entirely on impulse and wishful thinking.
It's not difficult to win a little money at the regular gaming tables in the lobby.
Casinos sometimes let off the hook to lure gamblers in!
But to think you can win big money is pure wishful thinking.
Every dealer is a professional card dealer, proficient in cheating techniques, and skilled at controlling the game.
To think you can win big at a casino by sitting at the banker's table is nothing short of a pipe dream.
After the female dealer skillfully dealt the cards, her gaze fell on the 100,000 chips that Chen Jie pushed out.
A barely perceptible hint of surprise flashed in her eyes!
She had been in charge of the business for a long time, and it was rare to see a new face so forthright.
A bet of 100,000 in one go!
She quickly composed herself, maintaining her standard professional smile, and softly reminded him:
"Sir, is this your first time playing at a casino? The rule for blackjack is that you can draw cards anytime as long as the total value of your hand is no more than 21, without any limit on the number of times you can draw cards."
Chen Jie understood perfectly well that he never came to the casino to gamble.
He's here to clean up the mess!
He wanted to let the owner of New Sun Entertainment City know something.
Eight million is a hot potato, not easy to get!
