Chapter 333: Chapter 320: Not Enough Chips

’To be able to see right through how this thing works... this is insane!’

It wasn’t just the coin pusher; the slot machine next to it was the same. The principles of how it worked had already appeared in his mind. Although he didn’t know the next outcome just yet, Fang Chenyi knew that after just a couple of plays, he’d be able to figure out the program’s current state.

"Xiaotian, get me a few more ten-dollar chips."

Taking the chips from Qi Xiaotian, Fang Chenyi casually tossed one into the slot machine in front of him.

After Fang Chenyi selected two icons, a burst of music played, and the slot machine’s selector light began to spin rapidly.

The music soon stopped. Unfortunately, Fang Chenyi didn’t win.

Seeing this, Fang Chenyi didn’t think much of it and simply tossed another chip in.

He tried again with the same result. After five consecutive losses, all five of his small chips were gone, and he still hadn’t won a single time.

Of course, by now Fang Chenyi had completely grasped the machine’s current running state. He was absolutely certain he had calculated what the next result would be.

He turned his head and said to Qi Xiaotian,

"Come on, give me the hundred-thousand-dollar chips."

Qi Xiaotian and his partner had just watched Brother Fang lose five times in a row. They figured that even if he didn’t stop, he’d at most grab a few more ten-dollar chips to mess around. Who would have thought he’d directly ask for the hundred-thousand US Dollars in chips!

’What is Brother Fang trying to do? Even if he’s rich, he can’t be betting this big! If he gets addicted, no amount of money will be enough to cover his losses!’

But in the end, Qi Xiaotian and his partner were just bodyguards; they had no grounds to refuse. So, feeling somewhat helpless, they took ten large, ten-thousand-dollar chips from the tray and handed them to Fang Chenyi.

Fang Chenyi naturally noticed the expressions on their faces. After taking the chips, he made sure to smile and pat Qi Xiaotian’s shoulder, speaking with an air of complete confidence.

"Haha, don’t you two worry. I’m not going to get hooked on this stuff. I was just looking for the pattern, and now I’ve found it. This next one, I’m pretty sure I’ll win. That million US Dollars earlier was an advance on your salaries. How about this: whatever I win in a minute can be for your expense fund."

Although he was one hundred percent certain in his heart, Fang Chenyi still didn’t want to sound overconfident.

It would have been better if he hadn’t said that. After he spoke, Qi Xiaotian and his partner only grew more worried.

’I’ll definitely win the next one... Isn’t that the classic gambler’s mentality?’

Qi Xiaotian had already made his decision. If Brother Fang really lost this round, he would have to speak up and try to talk some sense into him. It didn’t matter if Brother Fang would listen to him, and it didn’t matter if Brother Fang would resent him for it.

It was a matter of principle. Brother Fang had always treated his men well, and he absolutely could not just stand by and watch Brother Fang get swallowed by the casino.

Fang Chenyi was oblivious to Qi Xiaotian’s thoughts, because he had already tossed all ten of the ten-thousand-dollar chips into the slot machine.

Seeing Brother Fang toss in all ten chips, the two men behind him sighed inwardly. They had thought he’d at least get ten plays out of them, but he had just thrown them all in at once.

His actions also attracted the attention of some nearby gamblers. A hundred thousand US Dollars wasn’t much—in the various other games inside, such sums were commonplace. But to put a hundred thousand US Dollars into a slot machine all at once was truly rare, even in the eyes of these Dubai people who treated money like it was nothing.

At this point, Fang Chenyi paid no attention to the crowd of onlookers. Instead, he very casually bet the entire hundred thousand US Dollars on the cherry icon, which had a 30x payout.

Among the many icons, the 30x payout for the cherry was quite ordinary. It was neither the highest at 666x, nor the lowest at 2x.

Fang Chenyi lightly pressed the start button, and the selector light immediately began to spin rapidly.

For some reason, both Qi Xiaotian and Liu Yishou found themselves silently chanting ’Cherry, cherry, cherry’ in their minds. The surrounding crowd was the same, all of them staring nervously at the spinning selector light on the screen. Every time the light approached the cherry, their hearts would leap into their throats, and when it skipped past, they couldn’t help but feel a pang of disappointment.

Fang Chenyi, in contrast, was acting as if nothing was happening, not even glancing at the screen.

The music slowly faded, then abruptly, a celebratory tune blared out. It was immediately followed by the loud CLATTER of falling chips that echoed throughout the slot machine area.

As the crowd listened to the metallic CLANGING of the chips hitting the metal payout tray, their hearts inexplicably began to race. The excitement of the surrounding players instantly peaked. Even though they weren’t the ones who had won, every single one of them was thrilled.

No one had ever imagined that a hundred-thousand-dollar bet on a single icon would actually hit! A hundred thousand US Dollars times thirty... that’s a whopping three million US Dollars!

To put that in perspective, many people in the surrounding crowd didn’t even have a net worth that high!

It wasn’t just the crowd that was astonished; Qi Xiaotian and Liu Yishou, standing behind Fang Chenyi, were completely dumbfounded!
