Everything went smoothly.
Li Du went to the hotel and talked to the owner first. He showed him the text message from Lin Ping and asked him to keep an eye on him. Then he went to get his visa.
The owner was very easy to talk to. After accompanying him to get his visa, he scolded the immigration office, "Those idiots only know how to waste taxpayers' money!"
Then he took a taxi to the Comanche Casino.
This casino was quite famous in Flagstaff. It was the only Native American casino in the city. Usually, there were many customers and many disputes. It was not a good place to be.
From the name of the casino, Li Du could guess who the owner was.
Military fans might have heard of the Comanche helicopter that was destroyed by the US Department of Defense. In fact, the name Comanche came from a Native American tribe.
This tribe was quite famous in modern American history. They had the best horsemen among the Native American tribes. They lived on the great plains east of the Rocky Mountains and were a warlike people.
Li Du had seen a documentary about the Native American tribes. The Comanche were the stars of the documentary. They had driven the equally brave Apache Indians out of the southern great plains and caused a lot of trouble for the early colonists in Texas.
In short, the Comanche were inseparable from the labels of violence and aggression. The owner and the backbone of this casino were said to be from the Comanche tribe, but no one knew if that was true or not.
When he arrived at the casino, there were a few big Native American men standing loosely at the entrance. They were smoking and talking loudly. From their hair color and clothes, it could be seen that these people lived a good life.
After Columbus discovered the New World, the unique lifestyle and cultural traditions of the Native Americans changed dramatically with the arrival of the white colonists.
Historically, the European immigrants had brought great casualties to the Native Americans, and the entire tribe was almost wiped out.
Perhaps out of guilt for the bloodshed of their ancestors, in modern times, the federal government began to compensate the Native Americans. These open casinos were part of the compensation.
Around the 1970s and 1980s, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the Native Americans were allowed to open casinos on their own reservations.
After that, the federal and state governments gave the Native American tribes tax exemption in the gambling industry, which allowed the Native American tribes to develop rapidly and become a shortcut to wealth.
As of this year, there were 562 federally recognized Native American tribes in the United States. Most of them were scattered in the western states, such as California, Oklahoma, and Arizona.
Outside the casino, Li Du called Lin Ping. Soon, a skinny young man came out. This was his old friend, Lin Ping.
Seeing Li Du, Lin Ping waved enthusiastically and said in the dialect of his hometown, "Oh, you're finally here. Come, come, come, follow me."
Li Du smiled and said, "I don't have to go in, right? I'll just give you the visa. After the Immigration officers see it, they won't bother you anymore. I was also checked by the Immigration officers two days ago."
Lin Ping waved his hand carelessly and said, "What are those bastards from the Immigration Department? I've taken care of them. Let's go in and have some fun. Although the visa won't be useful anymore, I'm still very grateful to Brother Li for your help. "
Li Du was surprised. "You took care of the Immigration officers?"
Lin Ping chuckled and said, "Actually, it wasn't me, it was the casino owner. Anyway, it's fine now."
Li Du did not want to go to the casino. He instinctively hated such places.
With the little bug's ability, he should go to the casino and not the storage auction industry.
The little bug could monitor the dealer's cards, drill under the cards to see the cards, and drill into the bucket to see the dice points. In short, with the little bug's ability, he could go on a killing spree in the casino.
However, Li Du knew that places like casinos were very chaotic. You could offend someone at any time and get beaten up without knowing it.
Getting beaten up or blackmailed was not a big deal. What he was afraid of was being murdered.
There was no doubt that the casinos in the United States would definitely do such things.
Although storage auctions were slow to earn money, it was safe. It was a serious job, and he could earn money with peace of mind.
Even if he offended people like Lucas, Rambis, and the Ricks, they could at most talk, but they would not even dare to take action. As for the casinos controlled by these gangs? Sneak attacks and sneak attacks were as common as having a meal to them!
Looking at the brightly lit casino, Li Du hesitated for a while and then declined. "No, as long as you're fine, I'll go home first."
Lin Ping pulled him and said, "Hey, Brother Li, come in and take a look. I'm not asking you to fight, I want you to witness my glorious moment. I'm lucky today. Come, come, come in and take a look! "
There was nothing to do at this time, and Li Du had never been to a casino before, so he was a little curious.
Hence, under Lin Ping's repeated persuasion, he nodded and entered the casino with Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles in his backpack.
The Comanche Casino was not big, but it was decorated very luxuriously. The whole place was golden, with golden tables and chairs, golden stairs, golden countertops, and even the carpet.
In the room, which was less than 500 square meters, there were many machines and gambling tables. There were slot machines, lottery machines, baccarat, Texas hold 'em, all kinds of roulette, and even a mahjong table!
Li Du looked around curiously and said, "Why are there no windows here?"
Lin Ping laughed. "There are no windows in the casino, probably to prevent people from noticing the change in time through the change in the sky. Look, there are no clocks here."
Li Du looked around and it was indeed so. If there was no concept of time, it would be easy for people to get lost in here.
As for eating and drinking? That was not a problem. There was a small bar in the casino, and there was a constant stream of sexy bunny girls carrying drinks among the crowd.
As soon as they came in, a bunny girl walked over with a beer and asked in a sweet voice, "Handsome, what would you like to drink?"
Li Du smiled and said, "Thank you, but we don't feel like drinking anything for now."
Lin Ping rolled his eyes and said, "Why not? These drinks are all free of charge. "
As he spoke, he brought two glasses of beer and offered one to Li Du.
Li Du refused and said, "You dare to drink beer in a casino? Do you still want to leave with the alcohol in your head? "
Lin Ping was stunned, and there was a flash of sadness in his eyes. Then, he quickly hid his emotions and smiled. "You're right. How about this, a drink shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Li Du said calmly that he was not thirsty, and did not ask for any drink.
A Native American saw this scene from afar, and his face turned ugly. He said, "This kid is very careful, but it's okay, we'll see."
Lin Ping walked cheerfully to a table where cards were being dealt. After he sat down, he rolled up his sleeves and said, "Come, come, come, let's continue."
There was a pile of chips in front of him, arranged together in a colorful manner. It looked very satisfying.
Li Du stood behind him and asked, "What's this? Texas hold 'em? "
"Blackjack, it's very simple. Come, let me teach you."
