Walking into the casino, Han Kongque found that the place was much bigger than he had imagined, and even wider than the buildings he saw outside. It seemed that there were many advantages to building it underground.●⌒,.
When he walked into the hall, Han Kongque felt pretty good. At least he was not worried about being out of breath or anything like that.
Although it is underground, the decoration here is very luxurious. If you didn't know that it was underground, you wouldn't feel any difference at all just by feeling.
"Sir, Madam, what do you want to play?" As soon as Han Kongque and the others entered the hall, a girl came to greet them.
Seeing Han Peacock looking around, as if he was very curious, Yang Ying said: "First exchange for five thousand US dollars in chips."
"Okay, ma'am, wait a moment." The girl happily took the money and left.
"Can I pay by credit card here?" Han Peacock asked.
Yang Ying was stunned for a moment, but quickly said: "Normally no one does this. American casinos usually use US dollars to exchange for chips before playing later. I didn't see a card swiping, but I ran out of money. There are ATMs there.
Picked it up on the spot.”
Han Peacock nodded. He had heard that casinos in the United States had a huge cash flow.
Seeing that Han Peacock was interested in this, Yang Ying said a few more words: "Las Vegas, the American gambling city, is a world-famous gambling city. I went there three years ago. There is no distinction between day and night, only
Those gamblers who hang out in the casinos can become millionaires overnight, or they can become paupers overnight."
"Is there anything fun over there?" Han Kongque smiled and changed the subject. Of course he knew the dangers of gambling, but he came here not to give money to others, but to get money.
Yang Ying's reaction was relatively normal this time, and she got used to Han Peacock's out-of-the-box thinking. She immediately said: "If you go to the West Coast of the United States, you must go to Las Vegas. You can't miss this opportunity."
One of the fun places on the West Coast is the Colorado Grand Canyon. This majestic Grand Canyon has to be visited. I can’t express the beauty there in more words. However, after traveling on the West Coast and East Coast of the United States,
In comparison, I think the West Coast is more fun.”
Han Kongque smiled with satisfaction and did not continue to ask, because the girl who exchanged the chips for them had already returned.
Yang Ying picked up the chips and threw one to the girl, who happily took it.
"Do you need me to accompany you?" The girl naturally saw that the four people were mainly Han Peacock. However, these girls in the casino all had sharp eyes. They could tell at a glance that these three girls were not much like Han Peacock.
Have an intimate relationship.
Han Peacock nodded and said, "Tell me the rules here."
The girl immediately came over happily and walked inside with Han Peacock.
Han Kongque's English is good, but he has never practiced it. So he can listen well, but he can't speak.
This girl is obviously very professional, and maybe she has met her a lot, so it is easy for Han Kongque to know a lot of things.
Most of the people who come here to play are Americans, not tourists. Casinos can be said to play a big role in Americans' entertainment and leisure life.
Many immigrants who have just come to the United States will almost always want to know about the life of the American people, so many people will bring a small amount of money to try their luck at the casino during the upcoming long weekend and learn about the United States.
The life of a "gambler".
Do Americans only go to casinos to gamble? Not necessarily!
Americans love to go to casinos very much. Every weekend, holiday, birthday, friend gathering, many people go to casino.
And when I go to work every Monday, my colleagues greet each other. The most common thing I hear is "I went to Las Vegas on the weekend and had a great time" or "I spent two nights in the rage. It was so wonderful."
”.
So, do all Americans love gambling? Not necessarily.
Just because Americans love going to casinos does not mean that Americans love gambling.
In the past, casinos may have been exclusively for people to gamble, but times have changed, and now casinos are better called leisure and vacation centers than casinos. A large number of people go to casinos not to gamble at all, but to relax and vacation.
Just like this casino here, although there are many people gambling, there are more people who just come to play. Obviously, Han Peacock is considered to be such a person.
In addition to gambling, today's casinos generally have theaters that provide various wonderful shows, such as beauty shows, macho shows, magic shows, animal shows, acrobatic shows, etc.
In addition to various shows, many casinos will invite singers to perform and hold live concerts.
Some casinos will also invite famous singers to sing there for a long time. For example, the famous Caesars Palace Casino spent a huge amount of money to build a concert hall specifically for Celine Dion, the pop music queen and singer of the theme song of "Titanic"
, ask her to stay as a long-term singer.
The late American rock star Elvis Presley also sang in Las Vegas for a long time.
In addition to shows and concerts, most casinos also have hotels, gyms, swimming pools, plus a variety of restaurants and bars.
And the alcohol in the casino is free, which makes the casino an excellent choice for many Americans to relax and vacation.
Therefore, many people come to the casino just to relax and have fun.
"What's going on here?" After learning about it, Han Peacock found it a bit funny. This is completely opposite to the situation in China.
Most Chinese people go to casinos to gamble, but Americans go to casinos for entertainment.
When it comes to casinos, what many people think of are the Hong Kong and Macao casinos seen in movies and TV shows. However, American casinos, at least on the surface, are very regulated, completely normal business operations, and very professional.
The employees all wear uniforms. Generally, the dealers wear vests and the management wear suits. The dealers will rotate after a period of time. Before leaving the stage, each person will stretch out his hand and turn it over to show that there is no entrapment.
Above each gaming table, there is something like a ceiling lamp, a dark hemispherical glass cover, which is actually a camera.
Of course, casinos use it to monitor the behavior of gamblers, but it can also be deployed to resolve legitimate concerns of gamblers.
Once there are differences of opinion, for example, if a gambler has an opinion against a certain dealer employee, the higher-level management will come to mediate, but they usually favor the dealer and clearly tell the gambler: If you are not convinced, you can leave.
It's a bit like a sports match. The referee has his authority. If there are problems, he will criticize internally. Externally, the referee has the final say.
Of course, if the problem is serious, it will be dealt with separately, and video recording will be adjusted if necessary.
A casino is like a palace. It takes more than ten minutes to walk around. There are various gambling methods inside, and the slot machine (slot mahine) that is well known to the Chinese is just the most common one.
Many American old men and women sit in front of the plane with a drink cup filled with coins to play. They play on one plane for a while and then change to another. Sometimes they get thousands of dollars in one go, and the alarm on the plane whines. The staff
Come over and inspect it and give money.
In addition, roulette (roulette) is indispensable, and there are various other games, including mahjong, sparrow and other purely Chinese games. They may be specially designed for Chinese people. This also shows the casino’s attitude toward Chinese gamblers.
Dependence, they should be very grateful to the Chinese.
After "9.11", business was sluggish. If the Chinese had not continued to go to casinos, they would have collapsed, so Chinese are very popular in casinos.
Of course, nowadays Chinese people are very stupid and have a lot of money. Mobile wallets are not only welcomed in casinos, but also in major shopping malls and luxury stores abroad.
Therefore, as long as it is a slightly larger shopping mall, there will almost always be a shopping guide who understands Chinese. For example, the girl next to Han Kongque can speak a few words in Chinese.
At this time, Han Peacock already knew that in this town, as long as it is a large hotel, there are nightclubs, dinner shows, etc., and some casinos also have performances, or they are called by well-known artists, mixed with performances by small-name artists
, or a Broadway musical or play.
Most performances last ninety minutes and reservations are required.
In order to attract more tourists to gamble in these casinos, there is a constant stream of buses running between major cities.
Tourists only need to spend 15 US dollars to buy a ticket to take the "Fortune Bus" at various agencies. When they arrive at the casino, they can use the ticket to get a rebate of 32 US dollars, including 12 yuan for a sumptuous buffet coupon and 20 yuan in casino chips.
This town is located on an Indian reservation. In order to make up for the historical injustice to the Indians, the U.S. government specifically approved them to use the reservation to build a casino.
The location of these casinos is very important, because casinos mainly attract less wealthy people in big cities, because the real big-money gamblers still go to Las Vegas, but casinos cannot be built in the states where these cities are located.
Therefore, these casinos are located within a two-hour drive of some major cities.
Thirty to forty percent of the gamblers in these public casinos are Chinese. It can be said that without Chinese gamblers, all casinos would close down. Therefore, casinos regard Chinese gamblers as gods.
As a result, Chinese operators also joined in and joined hands with casinos to introduce a series of preferential measures.
In New York, Boston's old and new Chinatowns (New York's Flushing, Boston's Maulton) and other places, there are bus stops to the casino. You buy a ticket for ten dollars, and when you get off the bus at the casino, there is a casino.
The employee will give you a buffet coupon, plus thirty dollars in chips.
It seems that some places in Atlantic City also give cash. You don’t have to worry about being cheated here because the casino merchants will not cheat you in this small place.
Different casinos give different chips. Some casinos require one dollar of chips and one dollar of cash. For example, if you want to guess the size and take out a ten-yuan chip coupon, you still have to take ten dollars (replace it with real chips).
) to bet big or small.
The rules of this casino are very convenient. As long as you get the chips in your hand, you can use them however you want.
Playing with the chips in his hand, Han Peacock kept watching, just looking, but never taking action.
Han Peacock is not very interested in slot machines and roulette machines because it is difficult to cheat.
The more professional games here are mostly blackjack and baccarat. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
