Obviously, the VIP lounge was not a place that ordinary people could enter. The relationship between the VIP lounge and the owner of the casino was similar to the relationship between the owner of the booth and the owner of the venue, but it was not the same.
At the same time, the owners of the VIP gambling halls were not ordinary people. They each had their own background. Investing in a gambling hall could be said to have harsh conditions. A small gambling hall needed about 200 million yuan of bank notes. The layout of the hall was usually three Baccarat, one blackjack, and one Big or Small. The small hall only had three Baccarat.
From this point, it could be seen that the inland rich seemed to be particularly fond of Baccarat.
Because the parent company of the super casino owned a large number of hotels, transportation, food, and even aviation industries in Macao, the company would give each VIP lounge a corresponding hotel room, plane ticket, food, entertainment, and other services for free according to the sales quota of chips in each VIP lounge, so that each lounge could better attract guests.
Of course, the parent company of the super casino would also help the VIP lounge with good sales performance in the port area to set up a VIP reception.
There was also a very luxurious casino in Macau that provided value-added services for VIPs when it opened. The 50 luxurious VIP rooms on the upper floors were not open to the public. These rooms were only open to the VIPs who came to the casino.
It was said that if the VIP lounge spent more than 700 million dollars of chips per month, they could get 30% of the profit.
Xu Yun and Qin Wan 'er came to a table of Baccarat and started to play cards. The dealer seemed to have caught a cold. Qin Wan' er happened to see him throw the paper to wipe his nose out of the counter.
Qin Wan 'er frowned. It was not like there were no waste paper baskets here.
"In fact, this is to avoid suspicion." Xu Yun could see Qin Wan 'er's displeasure. "There are TV cameras installed everywhere in the casino. If there aren't a thousand, there are at least eight hundred of them. The VIP room is even more crowded. They record the situation in every corner of the casino from all kinds of angles."
Qin Wan 'er was shocked. "Then we can't go to the bathroom in the casino?"
"Of course there is no bathroom." Xu Yun smiled helplessly. "These devices are only used to supervise the casino staff. They are not targeted at the customers."
Qin Wan 'er saw a dealer behind her preparing to leave the table. She skillfully faced the camera and spread out her hands, flapping her clothes to show that she did not take anything.
"Did he do this on purpose?" Qin Wan 'er turned around and asked Xu Yun.
Xu Yun nodded. "Yes, I did it on purpose. This is because once the casino discovers that the staff members are cheating, they will be fired without a doubt. "
"Are we going to wait for the stack now?" Qin Wan 'er asked.
"That's right." Xu Yun smiled. "They'll take the initiative to come to you. Of course, they're usually looking for a living. They won't come to you right from the start."
Ordinary stacking boys were actually staff members who served the gamblers. They would serve them tea, help them change chips, and deliver food.
The job of the Stacking Shop was to find sources of gamblers and encourage gamblers to gamble at the casino. This would increase the casino's gambling income, and they would earn commission from it.
This system had existed since the establishment of the Macao Tourism and Entertainment Company, but it was not common. In the middle of the 1980s, Macau's casinos set up gambling halls. In order to find more gamblers, the role of middlemen became more important.
Hence, this system became popular. It could be said that the Stacking Shop contributed a lot to the local finances.
A competent Stacking Shop only needed to take a look at what the customer was playing to know whether he was a big gambler or a small gambler.
There were definitely no big gamblers playing the slot machines in the lobby. Most of them were first-time gamblers or novice players. Only those who won and lost large amounts of money without a change in expression would be invited into the VIP room to play Baccarat comfortably.
Qin Wan 'er was not interested in watching Xu Yun play cards. Instead, she looked at Uncle Qin and Man Yu, who were not far away. They had been staring at Liu Benliu the entire time. It seemed that they had also exchanged some chips, but they were not of high denominations.
In this super large casino, Qin Wan 'er almost did not see foreigners with high noses and blonde hair. Most of them were Asians, and most of them were from the mainland.
With the global economic downturn, there were fewer and fewer rich people with blonde hair and blue eyes.
In fact, it was not only the casinos in Macau that were like this. Even Las Vegas was the same. The casinos were mainly Asians, especially in the VIP room, where people with yellow skin and black hair occupied the dominant position.
It was obvious at a glance which country's people were richer.
No, to be precise, it was obvious at a glance which country had more people who became rich first.
Xu Yun's mind was all on playing cards. He participated in blackjack, big or small, and all kinds of nonsense. Through careful observation and listening, as well as judgment of people's hearts, Xu Yun obviously won more than he lost.
Even a few professional dealers had noticed Xu Yun, a man who was plagued with good luck.
This was because there were very few people in the ordinary hall who would play with chips worth a hundred thousand, and Xu Yun casually threw out a few chips.
These dealers, who were serious from beginning to end and did not smile, were powerful people in the casino. Dealing cards and changing chips were the work of these dealers.
Why were they called the masters in the casino? To put it bluntly, they helped the casino to be the "dealer." They were the people who helped the casino owner win money face to face with these crazy gamblers, so the casino owner would definitely not hire a fool to be a dealer.
Of course, these people were all good people with no bad records.
At this moment, the dealer in front of Xu Yun dealt the cards skillfully. They had all undergone professional training because gambling required them to grasp the rhythm. The better they grasped the rhythm, the higher the casino's profits would be.
Think about it. If the dealer's actions were sloppy, not only the gamblers would not be energetic, but the whole casino would also seem lazy and not have any vitality.
Therefore, these professional bankers were all quite skilled. Although they were professional gamblers, they would never participate in gambling themselves.
Xu Yun looked at the time. He was very clear that he would lose if he gambled for a long time.
Many years ago, Xu Yun knew an uncle who had been a dealer in Macau for 21 years. The uncle talked to him about how to control himself when he gambled in Macau.
The most important trick was to not enter the casino for more than half an hour. If you won five rounds, you should quickly change the money and leave. Also, the starting bet should be as small as possible so that it was easy to make a loss.
A good mentality was a basic quality. Regardless of winning or losing, you should leave within half an hour. If you gambled for a long time, you would lose. The same was true for the masters.
Of course, many gamblers who played in the casinos in Macau knew this "trick," but few people could act according to this trick.
Generally, gamblers had a bad mentality.
Why could Xu Yun win? It was precisely because he was not a gambler, and he did not have the mentality of a gambler. In this case, people would be more clear-headed.
