It's not three million, it's three hundred dollars. So why did you drag such a big suitcase in? Serving these big shots requires tips. Three hundred dollars isn't even enough for one game. What are you going to give them as tips? It's a waste of their time.
"Hmph! Those snobbish bastards, just working in this hotel, they really think they're some kind of foreign devil's dogs." Wang Han sneered as he watched the departing waiters. One should have the right attitude for any profession, and these waiters were making Wang Han very unhappy.
"Your chips!" A moment later, the waiter returned, handing Wang Han three of the smallest denomination chips with one hand, no longer addressing him as "sir" or using any honorifics. After giving Wang Han the chips, he left immediately, showing no intention of continuing to serve him. He wasn't afraid of offending a customer who gambled three hundred yuan.
"Your life is about as heavy as these three hundred dollars." Watching the departing waiter, Wang Han weighed the chips in his hand and walked towards the roulette wheel area in the lobby.
"Give me three hundred dollars for 23. I like 23." When they arrived at the roulette area, Wang Han threw his three chips into the 23 section and said to the server in charge of the roulette game.
"Three hundred yuan for numbers, is this a trial run? Why is no one following him around to provide service?" The waiter thought to himself as he looked at Wang Han dragging a large suitcase, and said with a smile, "Yes, sir."
After he finished speaking and everyone else had placed their bets, the waiter started spinning the roulette wheel.
A single bead rolls rapidly on a spinning wheel, its fifty black and white numbers representing different values. If you bet on the correct number, you win fifty times your initial investment. This is the riskiest way to play. If you find the risk too high, you can bet on black and white; a winning bet doubles your return, with a much higher probability. You can also bet on odd or even numbers, also doubling your return. If you're confident but feel the potential reward isn't high enough, you can bet on ranges: one to ten, ten to twenty, with each range consisting of ten numbers. A winning bet in these ranges gives you five times your initial investment; of course, if you lose, you get nothing.
It seemed fair enough, but unfortunately, this spinning wheel game was mechanically operated, so there was no fairness to speak of. Even if it weren't mechanical, there would still be no fairness. Under the secret manipulation of the waiter, the bead finally rolled steadily into the number twenty-three.
"Congratulations to this gentleman for betting on the right number. He's incredibly lucky to have bet on the right number so soon after arriving. He's sure to win big today!" the waiter announced loudly, then placed 15,000 chips in front of Wang Han, praising his luck.
"What good luck this young man! He just arrived and already won the numbers. If he had bet 10,000, he would have 500,000 by now." The people around him looked at the chips pushed in front of Wang Han and said with a smile.
Such praise often makes people lose themselves and unknowingly fall into it. But please praise me as much as you want; the more you praise me, the more I want to win.
"I'm really lucky today, I feel like I can win whatever I bet on!" Wang Han said with a smile as he listened to the praise from the waiter and the people around him. Without caring at all, he pushed his 15,000 yuan chip onto the 23 bet, acting like a big shot, and said to the waiter, "Keep betting on 23."
"Young man, it's already rare to hit the same number once. Don't take the risk. If you lose, you'll lose everything. Bet on something safer." Seeing Wang Han continue to bet on twenty-three, several well-meaning people around him advised him. Most others just watched from the sidelines. Fifteen thousand was really nothing to them.
"There's a chance of hitting twice in a row," Wang Han said with a smile.
"There is indeed a chance of it happening twice." Seeing this, the waiter who started the spinning wheel hesitated for a moment, then quietly manipulated the wheel again after starting it.
With a soft thud, the rolling bead landed in the number 23 again. Everyone stared in disbelief as the bead landed in the number 23, and as the 750,000 chips were pushed in front of Wang Han, they couldn't help but look at him with envy. He had truly struck gold; he had guessed the numbers correctly twice in a row. Three hundred had become seventy-five thousand.
"This gentleman is incredibly lucky! He's won twice in a row. The odds aren't just small, they're extremely small. This gentleman's luck is off the charts today! Three hundred turned into seven hundred and fifty thousand!" The waiter praised Wang Han again, attracting a crowd of onlookers. Everyone around looked at Wang Han with envy. Even the wealthy were amazed; his luck was simply unparalleled.
"I told you I'd be lucky today, and keep winning! I'm betting everything on 23. Maybe the Royal Hotel will even have to change its name today. Haha!" Wang Han laughed happily, then pushed the 750,000 chips he had just brought onto 23 again.
"Young man, know when to quit while you're ahead! You might win money, but your luck might turn sour," a man in his thirties said, patting Wang Han on the shoulder.
"I'm having a really good day. I feel like I can keep winning. I can win no matter what I bet on. There are only fifty numbers in the game, and the chance of the same number appearing three times in a row isn't nonexistent. Just because it didn't happen before doesn't mean it won't happen today." Looking at the slicked-back hair that resembled Ko Chun's, Wang Han said with a smile, and insisted on pushing his 750,000 chips to 23 again.
Seeing this, those who had originally wanted to follow Wang Han's lead and place their bets all gave up the idea. They mentally added that the odds of getting the same number three times in a row were extremely low.
The waiter in charge of the roulette wheel sneered. How could Wang Han possibly win 23 out of 750,000?
“Young man, winning too much will bring bloodshed.” Seeing Wang Han’s insistence and hearing his words, the slick-haired man knew that Wang Han must have some tricks up his sleeve.
"Don't worry about bloodshed. I'll be grateful if I don't cause trouble for others." Hearing this, Wang Han said with a smile, "This is the Royal Hotel. The owner is the British royal family. They can't be lazy about their accounts. Today, I want to see whether the British royal family goes bankrupt or I win this Eastern Star."
"You've got quite the big talk, but your ambitions are also very high, sir. I am Gao Jin, and I'm making friends with you today. May I ask your surname, sir, so I can burn paper money for you in the future?" Upon hearing this, the man with the slicked-back hair smiled and stopped trying to persuade Wang Han.
"Breath? I brush my teeth every day, so I don't have any bad breath. I'm just telling the truth," Wang Han said with a smile. "The God of Gamblers, Ko Chun, is already famous. I, Wang Han, would like to befriend you, sir. There's no need for paper money; the underworld wouldn't dare to take me. I'd like to see if they dare to be lazy. Hahaha!"
"To be honest, waiter, also place a bet of 252,000 for me, to round it up for this gentleman. If he wins, it's his share. If we can really win back the Pearl of the Orient, I'll consider it a small contribution." Gao Jin said with a smile, 250,000 was nothing to him.
"Let's spin the wheel!" Wang Han gestured to the waiter.
The waiter nodded, turned the turntable again, and secretly began to manipulate it.
"Twenty-three, twenty-three!" the onlookers shouted excitedly, as if they were placing a bet.
