1159 Tampered Games (1/2)
The four men agreed on the rules without any hassles. The casino staff then acted as attester, whereas each party sent one person to supervise each side before the four men finally separated.
The one-hundred-dollar chips were just trivial for them, but these men didn't bother about it as those who frequented such places were not some green rookies and had their own unique abilities in gambling.
Half an hour passed by.
Tang Xiu's expression was ugly as he sat in front of a machine. He lost 97 dollars' worth of chips in just half an hour and only had 3 dollars' worth left in his hand. Each one of the three people following him wore strange smiles as though they would see him lose completely.
”WOW! That's amazing!”
A burst of cheers came from the crowd nearby.
Tang Xiu turned around and saw that the cheers came from the crowd surrounding Daikura Sakuragi. The man looked smug and proud and gestured his subordinate to take a big pile of chips into his tray.
”Lucky dogshit.”
Tang Xiu resentfully cursed and shifted back to the machine before him. He directly threw the remaining 3 dollars chips into one of the jackpot positions without hesitation, then hit the start button with his fist.
Cling, cling…
Many people around him thought that he had given up upon seeing the flashing lights from the screen. But the moment his last 3 dollars were gone, the picture on the screens finally stopped in the grand slam position.
”One… one hundred times?”
Tens of onlookers around Tang Xiu looked incredulous instantly. Never did they expect that this guy in front would actually hit the jackpot, and it was even the 100 times multiplier.
”That's really a pity! He only has 3 dollars left.”
”Yea, he bet too little for that one. Even if he does hit the 100 times jackpot, it only earns him 300 dollars.”
”He's as good as lost already. I just came over from the other three. The one with fewest chips is Saburo Koizumi, but he still has 20 grand chips in total.”
”Crap, forget him. Let's not watch him anymore. He's already lost.”
”Go, go, go. Let's leave…”
”…”
Quickly after, only five people were left around Tang Xiu.
Instead of taking these 300 dollars chips, Tang Xiu threw all the chips that just fell out of the machine into the grand slam slot again and then hit the button under the watchful eyes of the five people.
”Impossible! How can he hit the jackpot again?”
”Is this machine broken or something? This is ridiculous.”
”What's going on? Is it possible to hit the fucking jackpot in a row?”
”...”
The five people's eyes almost stared with eyes nearly popped out. They were unable to take back their eyes, seeing the chips fall down from the machine.
”Beautiful.”
An excited look on his face, Tang Xiu shouted to Kuwako aloud, ”Hey, what the hell are you staring for? Hurry up and put the chips on the tray, will you? This Young Master got 30 grand now. Let's go somewhere else and change the machine.”
Time fleeted by. An hour and a half passed in the blink of an eye.
Saburo Koizumi had always won more than he lost, but today he was hit with a series of bad luck. He had been in winning streak for the first few games, but he was then struck with successive losses afterward until he lost all his winning chips and the original one-hundred-dollars' worth of chips.
It was suffocating!
He was so distressed that he nearly burst into tears. He would have run away already if it weren't for those big men watching him in the surroundings.
Certainly, that was 100 million dollars. He may have about a billion dollars if he added all his assets into the count, yet he didn't expect to lose 100 million dollars in this big stake games.
Eyes blurry and hazy, he looked at Tang Xiu and Daikura Sakuragi who were surrounded by many people in the distance, whereas Nishi Masayoshi was screaming in joy. He clenched his fists tightly.
The final half an hour finally came.
