Chapter 0166 World Gambling Association
After chatting alone with Zhou Dapeng for a while, Xiang Tianze finally had a better understanding of the [Gambling King Fighting Hegemony].
It turns out... the so-called Gambling King Tournament, like the World Cup, is held every four years, but this year's competition is quite different.
Because Taishan Beidou in the gambling world and the recognized number one gambling king in the world, Saurons, is getting older and is planning to slowly withdraw from the gambling world and retire for retirement.
However...the World Gambling Association established by Solons back then cannot just be abandoned, so...he decided to determine his successor through this year's Gambling King Competition.
Don't think that the World Gambling Association, like all kinds of official or unofficial industry associations, is a loose air with no rights. But in fact... the power of the World Gambling Association is quite large.
Although the World Gambling Association does not have official recognition, but with the signboard of Solons, this association is almost equivalent to the highest office among the gambling industry personnel. And because it is supported by most people in the gambling industry, every time the gambling industry association makes a ruling on a certain matter, it can be carried out well.
Because once you don't implement it, you will likely encounter exclusion and challenges from everyone in the industry, which is definitely a rhythm of courting death.
Of course...the World Gambling Association is definitely not the kind of organization that serves people for free. Any casino...whether you are a legal operation recognized by the local government, or like Zhou Dapeng's Fortune Casino, you can only operate it secretly underground casino.
As long as you apply to join the World Gambling Association, you must pay 3% of the entire casino's annual profits every year as a membership fee.
Don't underestimate the 3% profit, you have to know... Although there are not many casinos in this world that are protected by law and recognized by the government, there are so many underground casinos that you can't count them.
Although it is said that if underground casinos do not reach a certain scale, they generally will not, or even have the qualifications to join the World Gambling Association, but even if they meet the qualifications, the number of underground casinos is quite amazing.
Together, these casinos contribute an astonishing amount of wealth to the Gambling Industry Association every year.
In addition, don't think that the casino paid the 3% membership fee because it was exploited by the gaming industry association for nothing. In fact, if the casino reaches a certain scale, there are really few people who refuse to join the gambling industry association in order to save this money.
Because as long as you join the gambling industry association, it is equivalent to getting a guarantee. In the future, any member of the Gambling Industry Association will not be allowed to go to the casinos protected by the Gambling Industry Association without reason, otherwise they will be severely sanctioned by the Gambling Industry Association.
And if there is a kind of gambling expert who has not joined the Gambling Industry Association to smash the game, the casino can not solve it by itself, so it can immediately apply to the Gambling Industry Association, and the association will use the fastest speed to send powerful experts to help You town.
You know... some gambling masters specialize in sweeping up some small casinos to make a fortune. Moreover, since people dare to do this, they must have profound strength and background, and generally they are not afraid that those small casinos will use force after losing a bet.
So... without the protection of the Gambling Association, don't look at your underground casino, which can make a lot of money every day, but if you really encounter a tough master to kick the game, you can also make this casino lose overnight. Upside down.
What's more... the officials of the Gambling Association in various countries in the world actually have deep backgrounds and connections. Once they are protected by the Gambling Association, even the officials of ordinary countries will be restricted to a certain extent. I will not attack such an underground casino.
Speaking of which, the scale of Zhou Dapeng's Fortune Casino is not small, and it barely meets the standard for joining the Gambling Association. And some time ago, Zhou Dapeng also applied to the Gambling Industry Association through some connections. It's just that they sent someone to review it secretly, but they thought Zhou Dapeng's casino was substandard, and even ordered him to close the casino within the specified time limit, otherwise he might be sanctioned by the Gambling Association.
It's not that the Gambling Association discriminated against Zhou Dapeng, but mainly because Zhou Dapeng's business methods were too low-key. For example, Chang Youcai almost lost his family by playing tricks... Zhou Dapeng has done it before.
And this method, in the eyes of the Gambling Industry Association, is an extremely bad behavior. Formal casinos generally only rely on the bookmaker's odds advantage to make money, and will not cheat gamblers through similar cheating methods. Moreover, regular casinos are even more unlikely to use the method of cheating and lending to make gamblers lose their families. After all, such an approach is tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs.
Even if a gambler from other places loses all his money with you, the casino will often seal a red envelope, or it is called "reverse water", so that the gambler who has lost all can go back home safely.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible to pass the review of the World Gambling Association with such a low-level operating method as the Fortune Casino. And the representative of the association responsible for the review also believes that the behavior of the Fortune Casino has seriously discredited the fair and just image of the world gambling industry, and will make the gamblers who have played here have a deep aversion to the gaming industry. Therefore, even though Fortune Casino was not a member of the association, the representative of the association forcibly issued a ruling to close it.
In this way, for Fortune Casino, it is simply facing a catastrophe. Zhou Dapeng, who knows something about the World Gambling Association, naturally knows... If the Gambling Association did not issue such an order, then he can continue to operate here quietly, but now if he is targeted by the Gambling Association, if he does not If he accepts the ruling and closes the casino, once the time limit comes, his casino will inevitably go bankrupt in minutes.
They don't even need to use any background strength, they just need to send out a gambling master casually, and they can win their casino and go bankrupt.
As for this kind of gambling master with the background of the Gambling Industry Association, Zhou Dapeng dare not use any means to deal with him outside the game, otherwise not only the casino will not be able to keep it, but even his life will be lost.
But at this time, Zhou Dapeng heard some inside stories about this year's Gambling King Competition. He knew that if he could find a gambling master to represent his casino and get the top ten results, he might be able to win the game. Admitted as an arbitrator by the World Gambling Association.
And as long as one of his people can enter the World Gambling Association and become an arbitrator, then the punishment decision made by the representative of the ordinary association against Fortune Casino will be meaningless, and it is even easy for their casino to join the association !
Because as an arbitrator of the Gambling Industry Association, there is already a quota for recommending casinos to join the Gambling Industry Association.
