Forty thousand euros was nothing compared to the daily income of a large casino.
But the problem was that no casino liked to be treated as an ATM machine.
In fact, the casino staff with high cheekbones had recently heard some rumors from his peers that a couple, known as the Lucky Fingers, had won a royal flush in four casinos in just three days. However, these casinos only realized it after the fact.
The Lucky Fingers couple had been very restrained. They didn't win much in each casino, only one or two bets. At most, they would win fifty to sixty thousand euros. Such a sum would generally not attract the attention of the casino.
There were many tourists in and out of the casino every day. Although most of them were losing money, when the sample size was large enough, there were still a lot of people who won. The casino would usually be wary of some professional gamblers and cheats, but it was impossible for them to pay attention to everyone who won. Although the probability of a royal flush was not high, there were so many machines in the entire casino. From time to time, there would still be lucky winners.
The reason why they noticed the Lucky Fingers was because one of the casinos was the first to be alerted. They looked back at the surveillance video and found that the man of the Lucky Fingers couple received a call and left for a while before he hit a royal flush. This made him look a little suspicious. Although he had been trying hard to control his facial expressions, he was obviously not a professional actor, and his acting was a little stiff.
By that time, the Lucky Fingers couple had already left. After that, the casino made the corresponding arrangements. However, the Lucky Fingers didn't show up again the next day. Not only did this not dispel the casino's suspicion, but it also made them more suspicious of the previous win. So they contacted other casinos, revealing the casino miracle of the Lucky Fingers couple winning four royal flushes in three days.
Even if the finger was really kissed by the Goddess of Fortune, it was impossible to have such a bizarre winning rate.
Therefore, there was only one answer, and that was the Lucky Fingers couple cheated. According to their previous actions, the probability of them switching to another casino was very high. So the casino that was cheated immediately notified other casinos, which led to the previous scene.
In fact, from the moment the Lucky Fingers couple walked into the casino, their every move had been under surveillance.
And when they magically hit a royal flush again, the casino staff arrived at the scene immediately.
This time, it was obviously not so easy for them to get away.
The staff with the high cheekbones had been in the business for more than 20 years. He had a lot of experience. He had been to Macau and Las Vegas. His eyes had seen too many different kinds of people. Compared to professional gamblers and swindlers, this young couple was more tender than a sprout on a tree.
This showed that they hadn't been doing this for a long time, and that such fledglings were the easiest to deal with.
But this time, he seemed to have misjudged.
In terms of acting skills, the woman of the young couple was obviously better. She kept yelling, trying to attract the attention of other tourists and put pressure on the casino. It looked rude, but the staff with high cheekbones had to admit that this crude and simple method was indeed effective.
Many people thought that casinos were overbearing, and it was undeniable that many underground casinos were like that. However, the more famous the casinos that catered to tourists, the more attention they paid to their reputation. Forty thousand euros might be a lot for ordinary people, but it was just a drop in the bucket for big casinos. It was true that they wanted to catch the Lucky Fingers couple, but if they did so, it would affect their reputation in the eyes of other tourists.
On the other hand, although the man on the other side was also trying his best to put on a strong front, his acting skills were much worse. He always gave off a feeling of guilt, which made him look like a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Seeing that more and more people were looking at them, the staff with high cheekbones frowned. He thought that as long as he appeared when the other party committed the crime, the matter would be easily solved. However, the reality was not so.
The inspection results showed that the video poker machine had not been tampered with.
The staff with high cheekbones had two choices at this time. He could either let the two leave before the situation got out of hand, and the casino could swallow the loss silently to minimize the impact, or he could take a more forceful stance and invite the two into a small room for further questioning.
In fact, the staff with high cheekbones would have preferred to search the two directly. That way, their secrets might be exposed. However, no casino would want to use such a method that was clearly against the law to solve the problem unless it was absolutely necessary. At least on the surface, whether it was for the sake of reputation or other reasons, the casino would try its best to restrain itself.
In this way, the best way to "invite" the two into the small room, continue to exert mental pressure on them, and try to break through their psychological defenses. This was especially true for the man. The staff with high cheekbones was confident that he could take him down within ten sentences.
In the end, however, he chose the third method.
The staff with high cheekbones asked someone to bring a bottle of Bordeaux red wine and gave it to the young couple in front of him. At the same time, he bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry. Our mistake has caused you unnecessary trouble. This is the casino's apology. I hope you have a good time here tonight."
The man in the lucky finger looked surprised, and the woman snorted coldly, "How can we continue to play when you guys have done such a thing?"
The staff with high cheekbones smiled slightly. "I'm very sorry. If you don't want to stay any longer, you can leave at any time."
"Are you sure?" the woman asked.
"Of course. We have neither reason nor right to ask you to stay." The staff with high cheekbones took two steps back and made a gesture to invite them to leave. "You are welcome to come again."
"Hmph, I will never come to such a stingy place again in my life." After saying this, the woman in the tank top pulled her husband to settle the bill. The two of them chose to pay in cash and left the casino in a hurry with the money they had won.
As soon as they walked out of the door, the man wearing a checkered shirt and a watch heaved a sigh of relief. He could not help but grumble, "I told you to stop earlier, but you insisted on playing another one. Now, we won't be able to play here anymore."
After walking to a place with no one around, the scantily clad woman immediately let go of her husband's hand and said disdainfully, "What are you afraid of? Do you think I don't know you? With your guts, you won't come here again even if you aren't discovered. You should thank me. This way, you can make more money before you leave. In the end, we shouldn't split the money ninety-eight this time. You should pay me half of the reward."
"Half? You're kidding me. You didn't do anything. You just pretended to be my wife to cover for me. All the technical work was done by me and my partner, "the man in the plaid shirt argued.
"You guys are just a bunch of nerds. If it weren't for your lousy acting skills, how could we have been discovered? Besides, I've helped you earn almost 200,000 euros, and I only have less than 20,000 euros in my pocket. This is unfair. I've also paid a lot."
"You just need to dress a little scantily, show a little bit of your skin, and laugh deliberately to attract the attention of the cameras and staff. Considering your previous job, it won't do you any harm at all, okay?" The man in the plaid shirt widened his eyes.
