Chapter 218: [218] This kid is not simple! _1
The gamblers around the table were all stunned by Tang Feng’s audacious bet.
He wagered 1 million, and what’s more, he chose a combination of numbers.
Wasn’t that utterly insane?
In the game of betting on big or small, there was no room for speculation or tricks; it was all down to luck.
So to everyone else, it seemed he had lost his mind, as no one would make such an impulsive move otherwise.
The croupier barely concealed a smirk, “Bets are closed!”
After everyone had placed their bets, he didn’t immediately reveal the dice cup. Instead, he reached under the table and slightly manipulated a mechanism.
There was a device rigged to the gambling table, linked to a mechanism inside the dice cup, that would change the outcome of the dice once activated.
This was why Tang Feng had lost the previous round.
This kid still thinks he can win money in front of me? He’s dreaming! Today I’m going to make him lose everything.
The croupier was smugly satisfied. Amid the roaring calls of the crowd, he slowly lifted the dice cup.
But when he saw the points on the three dice, his smile instantly froze on his face.
1 point.
3 points.
5 points!
“How… how is this possible?”
The croupier was so shocked, his eyes nearly popped out of his head.
He had clearly engaged the device a moment ago, so why hadn’t the points changed?
In an instant, cold sweat “whooshed” out on his back.
It was a 6 times payout!
Meaning, just from this round alone, Tang Feng had won 6 million from him!
His mind went blank in an instant.
What in the world had happened?
Why did the device suddenly fail?
Where did the error occur?
Not just him, but all the gamblers at the table were frozen in shock.
The three dice could yield a myriad of number combinations.
To hit two specific numbers at the same time was incredibly difficult.
And yet, Tang Feng had done just that.
It was nothing short of a miracle!
Many gamblers who had hung around casinos all their life had never witnessed such a scene.
No one knows how long it took, but the table suddenly “exploded” into chaos.
“Holy shit, he actually guessed two numbers right? Is he some kind of freak?”
“Damn, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime sight, to witness such a scene!”
“A payout of 6 times, a whole 6 million, my God!”
“Am I dreaming? Can someone slap me?”
“Slap!”
“F*ck, you actually slapped me…”
The whole table was in an uproar, everyone venting their shock with a variety of profanities.
Even the gamblers at other tables were drawn over.
After figuring out what had happened, they too stared at Tang Feng in amazement.
To encounter such low odds was a streak of incredible luck!
As for Zhou Bingrui and Mao Anyi, they were completely dumbfounded.
Staring blankly at the three dice and the two numbers Tang Feng had bet on, they couldn’t snap back to reality for a long time.
“I… am I seeing things? Did he really hit it?”
“It doesn’t seem so? What I saw… also hit!”
The two felt as if they were in a dream.
The entire casino was boiling with excitement, and Dou Chao, who was having tea in his office, also received a report from his subordinates.
“Pfft…”
He spat out a mouthful of tea incredulously, “What did you say? He guessed the number combination? Are you joking?”
He’d been in the casino for many years and had never heard of such a thing.
When his subordinate reaffirmed the facts with certainty, Dou Chao finally accepted the reality and stood up in a hurry to check it out.
“Where are you going?” An elder suddenly called out to him.
The elder, named Tao Wenxing, was the casino’s anchor player.
Every casino has such a player, who only makes a move when someone tries to bust the game.
Such players were often retired gambling experts.
Tao Wenxing, once known as the Zhonghai Dice King for his magical dice skills, had dominated the entire Zhonghai gambling scene.
But at the height of his career, he chose to retire, and his name gradually faded from the gambling world.
Dou Chao still held a lot of respect for Tao Wenxing, “Elder Tao, I need to go and see, I suspect that kid is cheating.”
Tao Wenxing stroked his graying goatee, “Stay calm.
“The casino is closely watched by hidden eyes. If he’s cheating, it would be easy to catch him. What use would it be for you to go there?”
The so-called hidden eyes were spotters stealthily placed around the casino tasked with surveillance.
These people were skilled in sleight of hand, and it would be difficult for any cheat to escape their notice.
The cheater earlier had been caught by one of these undercover spotters.
Dou Chao hesitated for a moment, then sat back down, “The table has a rigged mechanism; it can’t just fail for no reason. This kid is not simple!”
Tao Wenxing nodded, “According to my subordinate’s report, this young man has already won over a dozen consecutive hands; he is obviously an expert.”
“So what do we do? We can’t just watch this kid win money, can we? Just one round and he’s won 6 million, how will I explain this to Mr. Xu?” Dou Chao grew a bit anxious.
“Let’s wait and see. If the croupier can’t cope, I’ll personally take care of him.”
“Sigh, that’s all we can do now.”
…
By now, the area around Tang Feng’s table was already surrounded by people.
They didn’t go back to their own games, instead choosing to stick around and watch the excitement.
Winning money was important, but a scene that rarely happened even in a hundred years was even more enthralling.
It also gave them something to brag about later.
By then, Tang Feng had already received the casino’s payout of 6 million in chips.
The stack of six chips, each worth 1 million, had quite the stunning effect.
Many people around eyed the pile with immense envy.
“Keep it going,” Tang Feng said.
He looked up at the croupier, who was sweating profusely.
The croupier wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook the dice cup again.
“Rattle, rattle…”
The sound from inside the cup was clear and crisp, like a delightful symphony.
“Shush!”
As the croupier stopped his motion, he hesitantly said, “Betting… betting ends…”
This time, when he uttered those words, he clearly lacked confidence.
None of the gamblers at the table had placed bets, instead turning their curious gazes toward Tang Feng.
They wanted to see what he would bet on this time.
