Chapter 212 Feeding the Shark Fish
"If that's the case, then we'll never be able to win the grand prize, won't we?" Ji Xingyi frowned.
Jiang Lin's method only works if the dealers are willing to give them chips in the early stages. But later on, if all the dealers collude, they have no chance no matter what.
“No one can take money out of a casino. Unless it’s a bigger bait.” As Jiang Lin passed by the Texas Hold’em table, he saw Jiang Yu and Bai Chuchu in Jiang Yu’s arms. He deliberately stopped to make Bai Chuchu notice Ji Xingyi behind Jiang Lin.
"Xingyi? Are you here to play Texas Hold'em too?" Bai Chuchu patted the empty seat next to her happily when she saw Ji Xingyi: "Come on in."
"Come on, my ass!" Ji Xing was in a real bind again, but this time he really learned his lesson and kissed Jiang Lin right in front of Bai Chuchu.
Jiang Lin's eyes gradually brightened amidst Bai Chuchu's screams, converging like starlight.
"You!" Bai Chuchu was so angry that she bared her teeth and claws, like a lioness about to scratch someone. Fortunately, Jiang Yu controlled the situation and stopped the girl.
Jiang Lin's lips curled into an arrogant smile. In full view of everyone, he put his arm around Ji Xingyi's waist and led her away.
Bai Chuchu was furious, screaming, "I'm going to feed you all to the sharks!"
"Feed the sharks!"
"Feed the shark fish!!!!"
Jiang Yu: "..."
Ji Xingyi followed Jiang Lin away and whispered, "Jiang Yu has a lot of chips, I estimate he already has a thousand."
There were several stacks of chips in front of Jiang Yu's table, and he was playing with the largest denomination "500" in his hand.
Jiang Lin: "Bai Chuchu's father is a shareholder of the cruise ship. It would be strange if Jiang Yu lost when he was playing with her!"
Besides the gaming tables, the casino also has a dedicated area for arcade games. Slot machines, coin pushers, and various other game machines are neatly arranged in rows.
Jiang Lin glanced at it and saw that each game on the arcade machine cost 10 coins, and depending on the type of machine, the highest prize could be up to 500 times!
Although Ji Xingyi didn't understand the intricacies of gambling, he had worked in the IT industry and was familiar with game machines: "These machines have programs installed inside, and the real probability of winning the grand prize is one in tens of millions."
Jiang Lin: "Let's go play the coin pusher machine."
At this time of day, there are still quite a few people playing arcade games. The gameplay of the coin pusher machine is very straightforward: the machine itself contains a large number of stacked game tokens, and the metal plate at the back will continuously push them forward repeatedly.
When a player inserts game coins into the machine, before the coins fall into the metal plate, there is a certain probability that the forward force of the metal plate will push the stacked game coins inside the machine out of the machine panel and out of the exit.
However, this machine itself is also mechanically designed. Don't be fooled by the seemingly precarious stacks of game coins inside the machine. It may look like you can get a whole bunch of game coins just by inserting one. In reality, you need to insert thousands of game coins before they might fall out.
Jiang Lin stopped in front of a coin pusher machine, but there was already someone sitting in it—a short-haired girl.
Ji Xingyi noticed that Jiang Lin's gaze was fixed on the short-haired girl, and his expression changed slightly: "Let's change tables."
Jiang Lin shook his head in surprise, intending to wait until the short-haired girl finished.
Ji Xingyi was slightly surprised. Upon closer inspection, the short-haired girl had a pretty face. Could she be a player? However, Ji Xingyi didn't think Jiang Lin would stop because of a player. Then, she looked at the game machine, and her gaze suddenly stopped when it landed on the chips in the lower right corner of the coin pusher.
Among the stack of game tokens, there was a red chip with an unusual color. The exposed half showed the number "20," but judging by the size of the number, it was clearly smaller than the "100" chip. Could it be... a 2000-coin token?!
Ji Xingyi's pupils contracted sharply. So that was Jiang Lin's plan! No wonder he waited for the short-haired girl to finish instead of playing other games!
The short-haired girl had exchanged all the chips in her basket for 10-yuan game tokens. Ji Xingyi roughly counted them; there were still more than 20 left. It seemed the girl's goal was also that 2000-yuan game token!
As one coin after another was fed into the coin pusher, the red 2000 coin gradually approached the drop point.
Ji Xing glanced at it and saw that there were 5 left!
The short-haired girl was getting impatient, and her coin-insertion movements became much more hurried. With a "thud," the coin fell into the machine, and the metal plate pushed forward, moving the 2000 coins forward by 1 millimeter!
"Clap!"
The fourth to last one fell into the metal disk in a bad spot, and this time it didn't push.
"Clap!"
The third one was lucky enough to push the price up to 2000 game coins! To the naked eye, the edge of the 2000 game coin mark was already visible!
The second to last one!
"Clap!"
The short-haired girl held her breath nervously.
Good fortune did not come again.
The short-haired girl rested for 5 seconds, then, with slight trembling of her fingertips, inserted the last game coin into the game machine.
"Clap!"
The short-haired girl stared intently as the last game coin fell into the machine.
When the metal plate was pushed forward, the 2000 game coins seemed to be glued there with 520, not moving an inch.
The short-haired girl left, looking dejected.
Jiang Lin asked someone nearby to exchange all 100 game coins for 10-yuan bills and placed them in Ji Xingyi's palm: "Go play."
A minute later, Ji Xingyi had only one game coin left in his hand. He had used up the ten coins Jiang Lin had given him and spent four of his own.
"I've been tricked." Ji Xingyi smiled wryly. Even though the 2000 game coins had been awarded, it would probably have cost over a hundred game coins to actually use it.
"Why are you so straightforward?" Jiang Lin's eyes were bright, and the smile at the corners of his eyes carried a hint of wickedness.
Ji Xingyi looked puzzled.
Jiang Lin stood up and stood behind Ji Xingyi, blocking the camera on the back wall, and whispered, "They're cheating, but we're not allowed to cheat?"
Ji Xingyi then understood Jiang Lin's meaning. With a thought, a thin strand of blood, as thin as a hair, gathered at his fingertip and probed into the machine's exit, carefully hiding under the metal plate.
Jiang Lin inserted the last game coin into the coin pusher. With a "thud," the game coin fell, and as the metal plate pushed forward, the blood vessels hidden under the metal plate exerted their force at the same time!
Splash! The game coins gushed out of the exit like a fountain!
The loud commotion instantly attracted the attention of nearby passengers!
"Grass!"
"Holy crap! Dude, you got incredibly lucky?"
"My God, how much does this cost?!"
Not only that 2000 game coin, but all the chips piled up inside the machine fell out!
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Ji Xingyi and Jiang Lin quickly packed up their game coins and ran away. Jiang Lin was too lazy to count them, so he simply had Ji Xingyi carry the basket full of coins to the service counter to settle the accounts.
The front desk staff had never seen anything like this before. The three of them counted together and found that Ji Xingyi had actually won 5150 points in this round!
