Chapter 155
The middle-aged man couldn’t help smiling when he heard that Oliver wanted to play the game with a limit of 1 to 5 million Oros. But this smile flashed away without being noticed at all.
His name was Des, the number one gambler in this casino and manager of the VIP room.
Des used to be the third-ranked cardshark in the world.
In fact, when Oliver won the 10,000-Oros bet, Des was debriefed and studied the surveillance footage of Oliver’s gambling and watched him in real time.
In the next few rounds, Oliver’s every move was analyzed by Des Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
It turned out that Des didn’t see any sign of Oliver cheating. The only explanation was luck.
But with so many years of experience in gambling. Des believed that nobody could be this lucky.
Oliver’s identity had been entered on their worldwide gambling league intranet, which still showed that he didn’t have any past gambling records.
In other words, he was a newbie.
Des was in touch with most of the top players in gambling, both past and present, and knew their current addresses and inheritors,
And Oliver wasn’t among them.
And most importantly, Des’ eyes couldn’t tell how Oliver cheated.
Their surveillance system was state-of-the-art technology, and Oliver and his three companions were also monitored. The surveillance could not only monitor but also analyze intelligently inner activity and capture electron waves.
If Oliver and his companions had cheating electronic devices on them, the surveillance system would have picked up the
waves.
Yet, that did not happen.
And the four of them weren’t wearing any “see-through” technology.
In fact, there was no real “see-through” instrument at all. The so-called “see-through” instrument was only a chain of cooperation.
For example, the back of a poker card was marked with invisible material. If you wanted to see it, you could only see it when wearing contact lenses.
The cards, machines, and people in the casino were theirs. Oliver and his companions were guests, so it was impossible to tamper with their stuff. As a result, cheating might be ruled out.
Moreover, the scene of Oliver getting the card was monitored and analyzed at a slow rate of 1/100,000 by surveillance cameras. No cheating was found, either.
All this analysis suggested that Oliver won by luck.
The last thing a casino was afraid of was its lucky guests.
Des led Oliver and his men to a gambling room.
The room was not particularly luxurious, but it was well-appointed and had only six seats by the table.- There were two men and two women in the room. The two men who looked fierce were clearly security guards. The two women were dealers in professional clothes. Of course, they didn’t do their job here but waited on the guests. Des asked Oliver and others to sit down before introducing himself. “Honorable guest, my name is Des. I’m the VIP room manager of this casino. Now let me accompany you to have fun. What kind of game do you want? Blackjack, dice, Texas, roulette, whatever you want.”
Blackjack. I think I’m lucky in this game,” Oliver answered without thinking twice.
He didn’t know if his identification skills could work on other games, so he decided to play Blackjack.
Des smiled and nodded, then ordered a beautiful dealer to bring the cards.
With a new deck of cards, the beautiful dealer put it on the table for Oliver to check.
Oliver stared at the cards for three seconds and got an identification message in his head.
[Offset-printed poker, 8×13 type, made of new technology, with invisibility paint coating of points and figures on the back of the card. Contact lenses are required for viewing.)
[Craftsmanship: Excellent.]
[Value assessment: None.]
Oliver knew that the value assessment was “None” mainly because of the value of the card.
No matter what technology it had on its back, it was worthless for ordinary people outside this place.
Oliver looked into Des’ eyes, and three seconds later he got the identification message.
Des was not wearing contact lenses in his eyes.
After thinking for a while, Oliver glanced at the beautiful dealer and found that she was wearing contact lenses in her eyes.
It was hard for an average person to find this out.
Oliver looked very calm and unpredictable.
He said faintly, “This card… Let’s change it.”
Des narrowed his eyes
and thought, ‘Did the young man see something wrong with this card?
But he didn’t even touch it. He could tell by a glance?’-
Des looked up and ordered the dealer to bring back a new deck of cards.
The beautiful dealer took a new deck and asked Oliver to check it.
Oliver glanced at it and then shook his head. “Change again.”
The poker cards had an invisibility coating as well.
After the beautiful dealer came over for the third time, Oliver nodded after identifying it again. “We’ll use this one.”
This deck of cards was normal.
The beautiful dealer looked a little surprised, and Des was also secretly frightened. He thought, “Can he really see it? How did he do it?”
Seeing that Oliver said it was okay, the beauty dealer took 10 decks of this kind of card and asked Oliver to check again before putting them into the transparent card shuffler.
And then the dealer gave Oliver and Des their first cards.
Oliver’s card was 9 of Plum Blossom and Des’ was Ace of Hearts.
Then Oliver drew a card since he was the guest.
The next card was a 10 of diamonds. Des smiled to tell Oliver to place his bet.
Since the limit of this room was 1 to 5 million Oros, the minimum bet should be 1 million Oros.
“I think I’ll try 1 million Oros first.”
Oliver’s chips now totaled 1,119,900 Oros. He lost 100 Oros in the first round and won 120,000 Oros later.
After placing 1 million Oros, Oliver had only 119,900 Oros left.
But it didn’t matter. If he lost, he could swipe his card directly and get at least 50 million Oros out.
With the billions of cash deposits he still has in the bank, Oliver could directly call the bank’s international credit card VIP hotline if needed, and use the frozen deposits as collateral to obtain a temporary credit card loan.
“Card.”
After Oliver asked for a card, the dealer gave him a card, the 10 of diamonds.
He got 19 points from two cards.
The face of the next card was the 7 of hearts.
Surely, Oliver didn’t draw more cards or he’d bust.
Then the beautiful dealer handed Des the 7 of Hearts.
Des’ first card was Ace. Plus this 7, he now had 18 points, a little less than Oliver’s 19.
Des did not hesitate to continue asking for cards.
And the next card was the 6 of Spades. With 18 points at hand, Des was going to bust.
When the beautiful dealer put the card in front of Des, it turned out to be 3 of Spades!
He got 21 points, the Blackjack!
