Chapter 263 Cruise Casino

There was laughter all around the stage, mixed with crude expletives.

Thomas bit his finger, blew a sharp whistle, and then took out a handful of gold coins and threw them on the stage.

The audience around, seeing the playboy generously throwing money, immediately booed collectively and responded with applause and warm applause.

The dancer on the stage blew a kiss to Thomas, turned her back to tear off the cloth covering her chest, then turned around slowly, showing a well-trained shyness on her face.

The audience finally got what they wanted, and the cheers almost lifted the roof off.

The dancer gave Thomas a meaningful wink, as if to say that this was a special show just for him.

Thomas stood up with a smile, looked around and toasted everyone, his face was radiant and his spirit was high.

Seeing him in the limelight, the Tyndale brothers raised their glasses and joined in the revelry.

Joan admitted that the erotic performances on the stage were very tempting, but he couldn't bear the crazy and crazy atmosphere.

The dirty air and loud noises made him feel even more headaches, and every minute he stayed here was an unspeakable torment for him.

After finally surviving the end of the strip show, Joan couldn't take it any longer, half persuading and half forcing Thomas and the Tyndall brothers out of the bar.

Back on the open-air deck, facing the sea breeze, I took a big breath of fresh air, and the headache and irritability gradually subsided.

Thomas drank the beer in the glass, threw the glass into the choppy sea, and announced with high spirits:

"Guys, let's go to the next stop, 'Big Rich Club'!"

The "Big Rich Club" is the casino with the highest specifications on the cruise ship. It is only open to first-class passengers, and at least 200 Gold Duga chips must be exchanged when entering the door.

Of course, this is not a big deal for young Thomas and the well-off Tyndale brothers. The three exchanged 1,000 gold coins for chips.

Joan only exchanged chips with a minimum amount of 200 gold coins. He didn't plan to gamble at all, but just used the chips as a deposit for entering the casino.

Thomas led the three companions into the crowded lobby of the casino, and first went to the most lively roulette to try their skills.

Within ten minutes, chips worth one hundred gold coins were wasted on the rotating gaming table.

Thomas didn't care, and took the Tyndall brothers to the next gambling table to sit down, and accompanied by a beautiful dealer, they played a more exciting card game.

Joan wandered around alone, going upstairs and downstairs, and saw many new and interesting gambling methods, among which violent gambling such as cockfighting, dogfighting, and even random gladiatorial fighting was the most eye-catching.

The audience outside the venue, no matter whether they bet or not, were fascinated by watching, yelling and screaming like crazy.

Joan walked around the casino and felt his eyes widened, but none of the games he saw aroused his interest in participating.

He is not a moral gentleman who hates gambling. The reason why he is not interested in gambling is purely out of rational thinking.

It is not difficult to find out through simple probability calculations that after taking into account the casino's rake, no gambling method is a fair competition for gamblers.

If you are lucky, you may be able to make a lot of money, but in the long run, everyone's luck is similar. The main factors that determine whether you win or lose are skills and rules, and the weight of rules is far greater than skills.

So from a mathematical point of view, even highly skilled professional gamblers lose more than they win in the long run, not to mention that the vast majority of gamblers have no skills at all and are nothing more than luck.

In this magnificent casino, the only ones who can ensure long-term profitability are the casino operators.

Of course, the premise is that the casino can continuously attract tourists and come in to participate in gambling.

Joan firmly believes that luck is elusive, but mathematics never lies.

Now that he knew that the mathematical expectation of participating in the game was negative, Joan lost interest in these unfair games.

He turned back to the gaming table where Thomas and the Tyndale brothers were sitting, cast his eyes on the card table, and after a little observation, he could see that they were playing "blackjack", the corners of his lips raised slightly.

In Joan's view, among all the gambling methods provided by the casino, "blackjack" is relatively fair to players.

If you have several partners who are proficient in card counting and cooperate with each other tacitly, you can even beat the dealer under certain circumstances.

Of course, in the long run, there is still no advantage, and regular casinos have an unwritten rule: once they find someone counting cards, they will "invite" the other party out of the game, and violence is not even ruled out.

Brothers Thomas and Tyndale had been playing for a while.

Thomas's card skills are quite good, and Roger's luck is good. Judging from the chips piled on the table, both of them won a small fortune.

Dick's card skills were not good, and his luck was also bad. He had already lost a lot of chips of one thousand gold coins, and his face was very ugly.

Joan stood behind Dick and watched the two hands, worried that he would lose all his chips if he continued to play.

Losing money is fine, he is more worried that Dick will lose his red eye and do irrational things in order to get back his gambling money.

After thinking for a while, Joan patted Dick on the shoulder and said softly, "Go and drink something, calm down, I'll help you play a couple of games."

"You can play cards?" Dick reluctantly gave up his chair.

"Know a little bit." Joan sat at the poker table and called cards skillfully.

"It's okay to change it. My luck tonight is really bad. I hope your luck is better than mine."

Dick turned around and called the waiter, ordered a glass of beer, and drank it in one gulp.

The cool wine slid down his throat, dispelling the heat in his heart and making him feel refreshed.

When Dick returned to the gaming table, he found that Joan had at least double the chips in front of him, so he whistled in surprise.

Joan looked at the cards dealt to him by the dealer and smiled at Thomas.

Thomas glanced at him and touched his nose knowingly.

The female croupier, who was still charming, raised her head, glanced at the two of them vigilantly, and then continued to deal the cards.

Roger looked at Joan, then at Thomas, and vaguely felt that these two young mages with explosive IQs seemed to be signaling.

However, he never heard the two of them discuss the secret code, nor could he see any information exchanged between the two.

Dick had a vague premonition: in this game, the dealer will most likely be defeated.

Sure enough, Joan put all his chips up again and doubled his win.

In the next few games, Joan and Thomas chatted and laughed at the poker table seemingly casually. Overall, the wins and losses were mixed.

But Roger, Dick, and the croupiers all noticed that Joan and Thomas won a lot when they bet big, and lost a small amount of insignificant money.

The game lasted for an hour. Joann not only won back all the chips that Dick had lost before, but also made an extra 100 gold duga, Thomas and Roger also made a small profit.
