chapter 9
The wheel with alternating red and black numbers began spinning.
The dealer tossed a small iron ball into the wheel.
slither-
The eyes of all bettors busily followed the iron ball spinning on the roulette wheel.
.
.
.
Today’s game is roulette.
I took a quick look at the casino games while on the bus, but most of the rules were simple.
Well, it’s a money-making game, but the rules are complicated, so there’s nothing good about it.
Among them, roulette was particularly simpler.
It was a game in which the iron ball thrown by the dealer in the spinning roulette wheel would stop at which number.
There are several betting methods such as single, even, color (Black or Red), but the most basic was to choose one of the numbers from 0 to 36 and bet.
If the marble stops on the number you picked, you win 35 times your bet.
For example, if you bet 10,000 won on number 7 and luckily the marble stops on number 7, you will win 350,000 won, 35 times the bet. If the ball stops somewhere other than number 7, of course it’s 10,000 won.
‘How often should I walk?’
Looking at the betting number board, I placed a 100,000 won chip on the number 23, the last digit of my phone number.
Round and round-
The roulette wheel started spinning.
And the dealer got into a position to throw the marbles.
Then I said to him in a low voice.
“Call 23, please!”
The dealer paused for a moment.
It’s under my spell.
He threw the dict into the roulette.
slither-
The iron ball went round and round on the roulette wheel.
Dalgrak-
And finally the dictation stopped.
I stopped at number 35, not number 23.
The numbers on the roulette wheel were not arranged in the order of 1, 2, and 3, but were jumbled, with numbers 35 and 4 attached to the left and right of number 23.
I sighed with a sad expression on my face.
“Oh, what a waste!”
The next game started and I bet another 100,000 won on number 23 as before.
And the dealer whispered to him before tossing the marble.
“Please make sure to number 23 this time!”
Again, the dealer hesitated and tossed a marble into the roulette wheel.
slither-
The beads spun round and round.
Dalgrak-
And this time, the beads went in at number 4.
Previously, the marble went into the right column of number 23, but this time it went right into the left.
Unfortunately, I lost money again.
Two rounds of 100,000 won each, losing 200,000 won.
“Oh, what a waste!”
I clenched my fists and put on a very, very sad expression.
But inside, I called for joy.
‘It’s eaten!’
I came across something like that while searching the internet for information about roulette.
Veteran dealers can put their marbles on any number slot they want.
Being a person, not a machine, 100% is difficult, but it is possible to succeed with a very high probability.
With such a miraculous technique, sometimes he deliberately loses, while fooling the customers, and finally robbing them of their wallets.
At first, I couldn’t believe it, but when I cast a spell on the dealer, it turned out to be true.
I didn’t put it in exactly 23, but it’s going in nearby.
My magic draws out the opponent’s ability to the fullest.
When I rolled the landlord before, it was not easy to bomb Wonsan properly at that age, but she took a perfect posture enough for active soldiers to cry.
Just as my magic pulled the landlord’s physical strength to the limit, I’m pushing the dealer’s concentration to the limit.
‘I think it will work if I do it a few more times!’
Looking at the dealer’s expression, a puzzled expression was evident.
You won’t understand why you’re throwing marbles at number 23 in a row.
Round and round-
The roulette wheel spins and the next game begins.
I bet 100,000 won again on number 23.
And the dealer shouted before throwing the marbles.
“I hope you succeed this time! Number 23!”
slither-
The beads spun vigorously.
and finally,
Dalgrak-
The marble stopped at number 23.
“nice!”
I cheered loudly.
People around me clapped and shouted at me.
“Wow, I just entered number 23!”
“Because I bet 100,000 won, I won 3.5 million won! congratulation!”
The dealer handed me three million-won chips and six hundred-thousand-won chips.
Excluding one 100,000 won chip that was originally my money, I won a chip worth 3.5 million won.
I earned 3.3 million won after subtracting the 200,000 won I lost a while ago.
When I was at the previous company, I worked overtime for a whole month and earned more money in less than 5 minutes than my salary.
‘Is it so easy to make money!’
The dealer’s face was burning red.
Perhaps it is the feeling of being possessed by a ghost.
‘Since I won money, shall I raise my bet?’
I put three 100,000 won chips on number 23. I bet 300,000 won.
I want to put a 1 million won chip on my mind, but unfortunately, 300,000 won was the upper limit of the bet set by this casino.
The VIP casino upstairs has a much higher betting limit, but I was not qualified and couldn’t enter.
It was possible to become a VIP only after depositing tens of millions of won in a casino account and going through an internal examination.
Well, even a 300,000 won bet was not a small amount.
“and! Max bet on one number! stylish!”
People at the same table gave me thumbs up.
The dealer let out a small sigh and prepared to throw the marble.
i shouted to him
“Once again, please! Number 23!”
Onlookers whispered.
“If it takes 23 times this time, it will be great!”
“There is a good chance, because there are many times when the same number is called twice in a row.”
The dealer threw the marbles.
slither-
The beads spun vigorously.
and,
Dalgrak-
The marble stopped at number 23 again.
and-
People who were onlookers cheered with joy as if they had won money.
The dealer handed me 10 chips worth 1 million won and 8 chips worth 100,000 won.
It was 10.8 million won.
I subtracted the 300,000 won I bet and won 10.5 million won.
.
.
.
Since then, I have been max betting on number 23.
There was a reason I insisted on just one number.
It was clearly intended to arouse suspicion from the casino staff.
What are you crazy about?
I can avoid doubt by losing and picking in moderation, but I cannot complete the ‘big picture’ that I have drawn.
I will leave the casino neatly after winning a large amount without a backlash in the most perfect way today.
‘To do that, I need to create an opportunity to use <Deception>.’
When I won about 100 million won, the dealer was replaced.
I don’t know if it’s really time for shift or if I’ve been instructed by my superiors.
A male dealer who seemed to be in his 40s left and a female dealer in her 50s came.
The new dealer greeted the customers at the table.
is it my delusion?
She seemed to be smiling at me.
‘what? Are you going to give it a try?’
The dealer spins the roulette wheel.
As always, I placed my maximum bet on number 23.
And I told the new dealer.
“Twenty-three please!”
she threw the marbles
slither-
As the beads spin vigorously,
Dalgrak-
The stop was number 23.
it was successful at one time.
That woman dealer was a great skill.
The better the dealer’s skill, the higher my win rate.
I cried out.
“nice!”
.
.
.
The game went on and my money kept growing.
It has already won over 300 million won.
The female dealer, who was very embarrassed because she did not know the reason, eventually passed out due to breathing difficulties and was replaced by another dealer.
The new dealer wore a gas detector (which detects the components of chemicals in the air) on his waist.
Perhaps the casino control room suspects that I may be using psychotropic drugs on the dealers.
The dealer who confirmed the value of the gas detector reported it to the upper management via radio.
of course it’s normal
I only used magic, not drugs.
“You have waited so long!”
The dealer greeted the customers and the game continued.
.
.
.
“23! 23!”
People shouted and cheered for the number 23 as I was on my way to victory.
It was then.
“Hello customers.”
An employee wearing a very nice suit that was differentiated from other employees appeared.
The man sitting right next to me looked at him and muttered in a low voice.
“Uh, it’s a pit boss.”
That man who kills suits was the pit boss, the top supervisor of the casino.
He bowed his head to the guests seated at the table and asked for their understanding.
“Suddenly, I had to check the roulette wheel. I am very sorry, but please use another table.”
It’s a sudden device check,
They seem to suspect that I was playing a trick on the machine.
I told him
“Well, we can go to another table and do it!”
At my answer, the pit boss bowed even more and expressed his gratitude.
I jumped up and headed to another roulette table.
Then dozens of people followed me like ducklings.
.
.
.
At other tables, I continued to max bet on number 23.
And I kept winning money.
10 million won per game.
When I was picking up about 700 million, another pit boss appeared.
he asked me
“Sir, I’m sorry, but would you like to go to the situation room with me?”
“yes? why?”
At that time, a mature man nearby shouted at the pit boss.
“Casinos are trying to kick you out, saying they have the right to refuse customers! The money I gave you guys is over 10 billion! When he sucked my money, he didn’t even tell me to go home! Are you trying to kick this young man out because he only won a few hundred million? Eh, you bastards!”
Then the onlookers around him also questioned him.
“that’s right! Where is that?”
“You are a customer only when you lose money, and you are subject to eviction when you win money? Nonsense!”
Boo-
Dozens of people booed.
As the commotion erupted, more guests came, and when they heard about the situation, they also pointed their fingers at Pit Boss and cursed.
Some even spit on him.
“Such day robbers! Wow!”
It was then.
One of the guests spoke loudly.
It was a middle-aged man with a studious appearance wearing horn-rimmed glasses.
He was one of those people who had been following me and had quite a bit of fun betting on number 23.
“It is said that they exercise the right to refuse, but it does not make sense to forcibly leave someone who has already entered without cheating, even if they do not know if they are not allowed to enter from the beginning, before the business closes.”
Everyone nodded at his words.
Then the pit boss opened his mouth in a cold sweat.
“I mean that… It meant that we would take them to the VIP room instead of the general store.”
Unexpectedly, I entered the VIP room.
