Power and Wealth Chapter 1253: One Casino Chip

Chapter 1253: One Casino Chip

Early morning.

After 4 am.

Casino lobby.

Dong Xuebing was smiling when he returned from the counter. He held the smallest denomination chip and two pennies.

Zhang Longjuan laughed. “This brat.”

Shen Xiaoyan looked at her sister. “How come he looks like he had won a battle?”

“Yes.” Because of the embarrassment, Shen Xiaomei wished she could bury her head in the ground. She did not expect Dong Xuebing to feel proud instead of ashamed. “This is too embarrassing.”

Zhang Longjuan laughed. “This is nothing to be ashamed of. I like Xiao Dong more now. He is interesting. Haha…”

“You call this interesting?” Shen Xiaomei tapped her forehead.

Shen Xiaoyan smiled. “Mr. Dong is not afraid of embarrassment.”

Zhang Longjuan laughed. “Haha… He is purposely finding trouble with them.”

Dong Xuebing reached them. “What are you all talking about?”

“Nothing.” Zhang Longjuan looked at Dong Xuebing. “My mood got better after what you did. Haha…”

Dong Xuebing was in a good mood after getting a chip. He passed the two pennies to Zhang Longjuan. “Your change.”

“Ok. I will keep it.” Zhang Longjuan kept it in her empty wallet.

Shen Xiaomei was speechless and felt Mr. Dong and Ms. Zhang were a good match. “What are we going to do now? We only got one chip. We cannot win much with that.”

Dong Xuebing replied confidently. “That will depend on how you play.”

Shen Xiaoyan asked. “Are you serious about saying you will win one hundred million USD?”

Dong Xuebing nodded. “Let’s look around first. Oh, let’s play mahjong.”

An eye for an eye is Dong Xuebing’s style. Song Yuhu, Mr. Wei, and Ms. Leng had ganged up to win Sis Zhang. He will not let them off lightly. He will get back using the same way.

The other side.

Mr. Wei and Ms. Leng walked over.

Dong Xuebing smiled when he saw them. “Oh, Mr. Wei, Ms. Leng. Do you want to play a few games?”

Mr. Wei was amused. “How are you going to play when you got no chips?”

Dong Xuebing laughed and waved his 1,000 USD chip. “I got one.”

Ms. Leng felt Dong Xuebing was purposely provocating them. “The minimum bet for Mahjong and other card games is one million USD. How are you going to play with us with 1,000 USD?”

Dong Xuebing did not know about this rule. “Oh, I see.”

Mr. Wei replied. “Good luck. You only got one chip. If you are careful, it might last you about ten minutes. Enjoy.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “No problem. I will look for you later.”

“Sure.” Ms. Leng said. “We will be waiting for Ms. Zhang and you.”

They were mocking Dong Xuebing. What can he do with one chip? Even if he played three days and nights, he would not win over a million USD. Even the God of Gamblers cannot do it. No one’s luck can last forever. He cannot win forever.

Moreover, he only got one chip. All his money would be gone if he lost once. Even if he can win, how much can he win?

No one felt Dong Xuebing could make a comeback.

This is impossible, and even Shen Xiaoyan and Shen Xiaomei think so. Dong Xuebing attracted many guests because of the commotion, but no one thought much about him. They continued to gamble and did not take note of him. Song Yuhu and Senior Zhou went to the VIP rooms.

The lobby was lively.

The guests were enjoying the ‘zero commission’ promotion.

“Open!”

“Ah, why is it small again?”

“Twenty! Hahaha… I won again!”

“I got no more chips. Let me go and change more. My luck is bad today. Sigh…”

“What is wrong with the slot machines today? Why is it so hard to win? I am not playing anymore.”

Some people won, and some lost. The ones who won were excited, and the ones who lost continued to bet. They were trying to recoup their losses.

Zhang Longjuan asked. “What are we playing?”

Dong Xuebing hesitated. “Let me think.”

Shen Xiaomei grumbled. “You only got one chip. Do you still need to think?”

“I got to be cautious because I only got one chip.” Dong Xuebing replied seriously. He was not taking this lightly.

Zhang Longjuan laughed. “Yes. We got to be cautious.”

Shen Xiaomei and Shen Xiaoyan did not think much. They had completed their State Security mission.

A few minutes passed.

Dong Xuebing looked around the casino and stopped at one of the tables.

It’s roulette. This is one of the few games he is familiar with.

Dong Xuebing does not have enough to play blackjack or baccarat and is unfamiliar with the rules. The slot machines are hard to win, and he does not enough to play Mahjong or poker.

After consideration, roulette is the best choice.

Yes. That’s the one!

Dong Xuebing said. “Let’s play roulette.”

“Sure.” Zhang Longjuan held his arm. “Let’s go. Haha…”

The casino has two roulette tables. They were huge and crowded.

“25! 25!”

“26! 26!

“Stop! Stop!” Thi/s chapter is updat𝓮d by nov(e)(l)biin.co/m

“Ah… I missed it by a bit.”

The round ended. The small ball stopped, and a few guests won. The staff started giving out their winnings.

This is a big casino. Although the rules are about the same as the ones Dong Xuebing played before, the table settings were different. He had forgotten how to play, as his last time was years ago. He asked Zhang Longjuan. “Sis Zhang, can you explain the rules to me? How do I bet, and what’s the payout?”

Shen Xiaomei’s eyes opened wide. “You don’t know how to play?”

Shen Xiaoyan massaged her temples. How will you win one hundred million USD when you don’t know how to play?

Dong Xuebing cleared his throat and said. “Who says I don’t know?? I am afraid the rules here are different.”

Shen Xiaomei mumbled. “Just admit you don’t know.”

Dong Xuebing admitted. “Fine. I seldom gamble and need to learn the rules. Have you heard of beginner’s luck? Only the fearless can win big.”

Shen Xiaomei thought to herself. No one is as fearless as you. You don’t know the rules and dare to claim you will win a hundred million USD.

This is too ‘fearless.’

Zhang Longjuan did not say anything. She smiled as she explained the rules to Dong Xuebing. “There are thirty-six numbers. The payout for a single number is 36 times the biggest payout. Most people will make small bets on single numbers as the probability of winning is the lowest. You can bet on two or three digits, but the payout is lower. You need some tactics because the numbers are spread out on the wheel. It’s hard to explain the tactics. You can also bet on odd/ even or colors. The payout is two times your bet. It’s easy to win, as the probability is around 50%.”

Dong Xuebing nodded and remembered the payouts.

“As for how to place a bet…” Zhang Longjuan sips some water.

Shen Xiaomei said. “Those numbers are single number bets, and the color below is for betting on color. The odd and even bets are next to it.”

Shen Xiaoyan suggested. “We only got one chip. I suggest betting on odd/even or color. We got a 50% chance of winning. We would double our money if we won.”

The twins know more about roulette than Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing nodded.

Shen Xiaomei looked at him. “Do you understand?”

“How can I not understand?” Dong Xuebing replied. “All right. I am going to try my luck.”

Shen Xiaomei said. “Do you want to watch a few rounds first? Ms. Zhang got no money left. This is our last chip.” Although she did not think they could do much with one chip, she did not want Dong Xuebing to lose.

In front of the roulette table.

A new round started, and the dealer raised her hand. “Please place your bets.”

Seven or eight guests in the crowd bet without thinking. Some hesitate before placing their bets.

Some bet tens of thousand USD on odd or even.

Some bet over a hundred thousand on colors.

Their bets were big. It was as if they were not betting with their money.

The dealer is a young girl, and Dong Xuebing’s old habits act again. He stole a few glances at her before looking at the betting table.

The female staff smiled professionally. “Have you placed your bets? We do not allow any more bets after we start.” She paused for a while and said. “This round is starting. Please keep your hands away from the….”

Before she could finish saying ‘table,’ Dong Xuebing reached out and placed his chip on the table.

22. He placed his chip on a single number. The payout is 36 times.

The dealer looked at Dong Xuebing and did not say anything. But her eyes twitched when she saw it was the smallest denomination chip in the casino.

The other guests were also shocked.
