Chapter 1274 – Shocking the Casino

Casino main lobby.

Many guests queued to exchange casino chips for cash, and some returned to their rooms. A few went to play slots.

The lobby was noisy.

Many guests were still grumbling about the casino closing early.

The casino activated all its staff to maintain order.

“Senior Zhou.” A few people in charge came to the casino. “Did you lose?”

Senior Zhou nodded and looked at Dong Xuebing. “Yes. I lost.”

Song Yuhu thought to himself. Why are you bringing this up? He said. “Senior Zhou did not go out and lose by a fraction.”

Another person in charge said. “That means he might still win.”

Another woman said. “That’s right. Why did you close the casino? The losses…”

Senior Zhou slowly replied. “Ignore Xiao Song. He was trying to make me feel better. I lost more than a fraction.”

Song Yuhu replied. “Both of you had won and lost a few games. We don’t know who will emerge the winner in the end.”

Senior Zhou shook his head and looked at Dong Xuebing’s back. “Look at his exposed arm. I noticed it earlier and during the Mahjong game. His left arm is fractured, and he can hardly move. I think he cannot use any strength. He was limping, too. His leg should be injured. He is not in his best condition, and he managed to win me in this condition. Do you still think I stand a chance?”

Song Yuhu inhaled deeply.

Everyone looked towards Dong Xuebing.

Senior Zhou continued. “That’s why we don’t need to inform the higher-ups. Before informing you all, I asked Xiao Song to shut down the main lobby. None of us are his match. He could win easily at Roulette, and I don’t know if he got other tricks up his sleeves.”

“He is good at Baccarat?”

“Let’s not talk about Blackjack. But dice…”

Senior Zhou interrupted them. “It’s better to be safe.”

Song Yuhu said. “They mentioned they were going to play Baccarat and other games. Maybe they have techniques or tricks we don’t know.”

The woman’s eyes turned cold. “Should we…”

Song Yuhu was shocked and said. “No… My men had encountered him before. Even a truck cannot kill him, and he wiped out over twenty men.”

The woman was shocked. “He can fight so well?”

Senior Zhou was surprised and looked at Song Yuhu.

Song Yuhu sighed. “I am not undermining us, but that was the truth. My men did not cause his injuries. He was injured with fractures all over when my men met him. I don’t know where he is from. But I know all the bodyguards on the ship are not his match. I don’t suggest this method.”

We cannot win him in a fight?

We cannot beat him at gambling. 

The few in-charges did not say anything. Shutting down the casino is the safest move against that hooligan. They agreed with Senior Zhou’s decision.

As for the slot machines…

They thought nothing about it.

They had not heard of anyone cheating at slot machines.

The slot machine is controlled by software, and the results were random. The alarm will sound if anyone tries to tamper with it.

“Eh, what is that guy doing?” Song Yuhu looked at Dong Xuebing.

A person in charge frowned. “Why is he standing still in front of the slot machine?”

“Is he going to play slots?” Senior Zhou was curious and not anxious. “Let’s go and see.”

A corner in the lobby.

Dong Xuebing, Zhang Longjuan, and the twins walked to a quiet corner.

All the slot machines were occupied because this was the only game they could play. However, only one machine was free. It was the machine Dong Xuebing played when he entered the lobby earlier. More than ten minutes passed, but no one played at that machine. They would rather wait for a free machine.

Shen Xiaomei was curious. “Why no one is playing with this machine?”

Shen Xiaoyan replied. “I heard someone struck a 100 million USD jackpot with this machine last month. They felt this machine would not win again.”

Shen Xiaomei nodded. “I see.”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “Let’s play with this machine.”

Zhang Longjuan looked at her watch. “All right. We got nothing to do also.”

“I think we should give up.” Shen Xiaomei lifted the chips box and said. “Although playing a few games costs little, it is still money. We should keep it for Ms. Zhang’s company.” She does not want to waste money. The smallest chip in the box was more than her one month’s salary. She cannot bear to see them go to waste. “We are leaving soon. Let’s not give them money.”

Shen Xiaoyan nodded. “I agree.”

Zhang Longjuan looked at Dong Xuebing and laughed. “I think Xiao Dong is itching to go. Haha… let’s play a few games. It’s not a lot.”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “I don’t want to give them money. It is not easy to win some money. However, we don’t know what will happen.”

Zhang Longjuan looked at him. “You are saying…”

Shen Xiaomei was surprised. “Are you saying you might win?”

“I am not sure. Let me try.” Dong Xuebing was not confident.

Not sure? This was enough to shock Shen Xiaoyan and Shen Xiaomei. “Are you going to play? But these machines cannot be tampered with. Mr. Dong, don’t be rash. I heard alarms would sound if anyone tried to mess with the machine. If they discover we have done something to the machine, they might use it as an excuse to take back our chips.

Dong Xuebing nodded. “Don’t worry. I know what to do.”

Zhang Longjuan said. “Then go ahead and try.”

“I might not win, Sis Zhang. Don’t blame me if I fail.”

“Haha… everyone knows the probability of slot machines. I did not have any hopes in the first place. Just try. We will not lose much, too.” Zhang Longjuan replied.

Dong Xuebing relaxed. “All right.”

Shen Xiaomei and Shen Xiaoyan do not know what they meant by ‘hope.’ Aren’t the results random?”

Can he cheat with a slot machine?

How is he going to cheat?

Senior Zhou, Song Yuhu, and other top executives of the ship walked over.

Dong Xuebing turned. “Haha… I was thinking about you, and you appeared. Don’t you think what you all did today is too much?”

Song Yuhu retorted. “You are the one who is too much.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “I won money. What’s wrong with that?”

Song Yuhu said. “We overlooked today. But remember this. You will not get this chance again.” 

“Again? It is not over between us today. My Sis Zhang still needs 80 million USD. We are not leaving until we win 200 million USD.” Dong Xuebing laughed.

Song Yuhu paused for a second and said. “All the tables are closed. You…”

Need 100 million USD more?

Where are you going to win it?

Are you kidding with me?”

Dong Xuebing looked at the slot machine. “There’s still slot machines available.”

“Slot machine?” Everyone looked at Dong Xuebing. They almost burst out laughing.

“Eh, don’t look at me like this. I know this is a game of luck. I forgot to tell you all that my luck has always been good.” Dong Xuebing replied.

Song Yuhu and the few top executives laughed. “You are too boastful. All right. We shall see how lucky you are.”

Dong Xuebing turned and sat at the empty slot machine.

The commotion had attracted other guests in the lobby. After all, Dong Xuebing had won a lot earlier. A crowd formed after they saw the casino’s people clash with him again.

“Quick, let’s go and see.”

“That guy is going to gamble again.”

“Interesting. But he is playing slots.”

“I overheard him saying he will not leave until he wins another 80 million USD.”

“Damn! Does he want to win at slots? How is this possible?”

“Yes. It’s impossible, that’s why I want to see it. Did you forget he used one casino chip to win over a hundred million USD? We also think it was impossible.”

“But you cannot cheat with slot machines.”

“You are right. One can cheat at Roulette, dice, Mahjong, and cards, are possible. But slot machines are random. I have never heard people cheating with slot machines.”

“Also, the machine he is playing had just won a jackpot last month. That’s impossible. It’s unheard of a machine giving out more than one jackpot yearly.”

The crowd grew. Many people were attracted.

Zhang Longjuan and the twins were pushed behind Dong Xuebing’s chair.

Senior Zhou frowned as he looked at Dong Xuebing. Song Yuhu and the rest stood beside him, waiting to mock Dong Xuebing. He was too boastful.

Dong Xuebing laughed, and he turned to Shen Xiaomei. “Pass me the chips.”

Shen Xiaomei opened the box and took out ten thousand USD chips.

To everyone’s surprise, Dong Xuebing picks up a ten thousand USD chip with his fingers.

Shen Xiaomei was surprised. “Only one? You…”

Dong Xuebing smiled and turned towards the machine. He covered the panel, showing the pictures, with his hand. He did not let anyone see it, and he closed his eyes for a while before inserting the chip into the machine. He pulled the lever quickly and removed his hand from the panel.

The wheels in the machine started spinning.

Everyone was staring at the pictures spinning.

Dong Xuebing replied to Shen Xiaomei. “One is enough.”

To everybody’s horror, the wheels in the slot machine stopped.

7!

7!

7!

The machine’s alarm went off!

Countless ten thousand USD chips gushed out of the machine.

Everyone was stunned.
