Chapter 359 Is This a Miracle?
"What would you like to play first? Blackjack or Texas Hold'em?"
Wu Qian, holding a somewhat heavy platter, followed behind Song Yun with a sycophantic smile. "If it's your first time playing, I personally suggest trying the Big Small game, as it's the simplest and easiest game to pick up."
But Wu Qian left out one crucial point, gambling on Big Small was also the quickest way to lose!
Nearly sixty to seventy percent of those who come here end up losing on this game!
So ever since he saw Song Yun's black card, he had made up his mind to ensure Song Yun would leave behind tens of millions today!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Boring, boring, I'll just have a look around first."
Song Yun's eyes darted around until they suddenly lit up upon spotting a particular machine.
"I'll play that one!"
"Ah?"
A look of constipation spread across Wu Qian's face because Song Yun had picked a slot machine.
This game consists of a three by three grid of different fruits on the screen. You have to insert coins to play and once a coin passes through a designated area inside the machine, the images on the screen start spinning.
If you get any three-in-a-row horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, the machine dispenses coins equivalent to the value of the fruits, which are then pushed out by a tray that continually moves back and forth.
This game is the first choice for many who don't have much money, but still want to experience some excitement!
After all, with one coin costing one dollar, even if you play all night and never win, the most you'll lose is a few thousand dollars.
But if you're lucky today and hit the jackpot, you might win tens or even hundreds of thousands!
Of course, this is predicated on the machine having swallowed enough coins to start paying out some.
So how do you know whether the machine has had its fill?
Fear only the casino staff might be able to answer that.
"Playing this kind of machine doesn't really match your status, does it?"
Wu Qian said with a pained expression, "Besides, the coins you get in exchange for chips are pretty dirty, your hands will turn black after a while."
"It's no problem. I just remembered how, when I was a kid, I'd see adults gathered around one in an arcade, all shouting for a 'clean sweep.' So I got the itch all of a sudden. If you don't want to come along, just hand the platter to my bodyguard. Of course, your tip won't be missing, just take ten thousand from the platter and go."
Song Yun said indifferently.
How could Wu Qian give up today's feast for a mere ten thousand?!
He quickly spoke up, "No problem, no problem, it's my honor to serve a young and wealthy boss like you. Since you want to play this, I'll swallow my pride and ask a staff member about this particular machine, see if it's taken in enough coins today."
"No need, I've always been quite lucky. Any machine I choose can lead to a clean sweep."
Song Yun said with a smile as he casually approached a machine.
The middle-aged man who had been continuously feeding coins into the machine next to him quickly shifted his stool a few centimeters away in the opposite direction after seeing Song Yun's entourage.
"Go get me a thousand dollars' worth of coins."
"Just a moment, please."
Wu Qian handed the platter to Great Saint and picked a ten thousand chip from it before leaving.
"Boss, you want to play the slot machine?"
The middle-aged man a mere ten centimeters away from Song Yun asked curiously.
"Yeah, is there a problem with that?"

"Oh no, not at all..."
The middle-aged man chuckled sheepishly. All the high rollers that came here went straight to the gaming tables. Those around the slot machines were either penniless gamblers hoping for a change of luck to return to the gaming tables,
or tourists looking for some thrill without the risk of losing too much money.
Someone like Song Yun, who was surrounded by a beauty and bodyguards and had a business manager handling everything, would scorn sitting with commoners like them.
"The machine you're sitting at, someone's been playing it all day without getting a three-in-a-row. You might want to switch machines if you're looking to play."
The middle-aged man suggested.
"It's no big deal, I'm just joining in on the fun,"
Song Yun said with a smile.
In fact, he had his own reasons for choosing this game.
Playing games like blackjack or betting on odds and evens posed no challenge for him, as he had Perspective Eyes. To test out the new luck value the system had just added for him, Song Yun decided to come here.
"Boss, here are a thousand coins,"
Wu Qian said, panting as he ran over with a tray.
Having served countless big bosses over the years, he had never seen such a bizarre one.
"Hmm, just put it here,"
Song Yun casually grabbed a handful of coins and stuffed them into the coin slot.
Coin after coin went in, like a few droplets of water entering the vast ocean, making no difference whatsoever.
One after another, Song Yun had thrown in five or six hundred coins, and not once did the screen show a triple lineup.
This made Wu Qian breathe a sigh of relief; as long as this boss finished up the few hundred coins he held, Wu Qian could take him to the high-stakes gambling tables.
"Boss, I don't mean to sound unpleasant, but these slot machines are controlled by the system. Think about it, most people who come here lose nine out of ten times. How could the casino let you win money so easily? The machine you've chosen is probably locked down for today,"
the middle-aged man said, having already used up his own coins, as he stood behind Song Yun trying to offer advice.
"I'll talk after I'm finished,"
Song Yun kept feeding the machine.
Soon, the thousand coins were almost gone, and he was down to his last one.
"Could it be that the new luck value that's been added to me isn't enough to play this damn thing?"
Song Yun frowned and pondered.
"This is the last one!"
Song Yun directly inserted the coin into the slot. The coin slowly rolled down and entered the specific area; the screen's 3x3 display began to spin non-stop.
But soon, a jester's face stopped, followed by a second, a third, a fourth... all nine frames on the screen were filled with jesters.
Seeing this, Wu Qian's heart tightened!
Fuck!!!
What is this situation???
Normally, the slot machines here pay out on fruit triplets, but there's also a hidden grand prize—the jesters!
If one jester appears on the screen, you win a thousand coins; two jesters pay two thousand; three pay four thousand, and so on, incrementally increasing.
And if a full screen of jesters appears, the final summed amount is multiplied by 10!
That's why those gamblers, down to their last few hundred dollars, sit at these slot machines without eating or drinking.
Over the decades since this place's opening, only two people had ever won this grand prize!
Song Yun was clearly the third!
As Wu Qian stood there gawking, the slot machine suddenly started playing music, waves of triumphant sounds spreading throughout the entire hall.
Curious onlookers turned their attention toward the commotion.
Newcomers didn't understand what was happening, merely enjoying the spectacle.
But the seasoned gamblers, their expressions sharp, packed up their chips and rushed towards the slot machine.
"Is this... is this a miracle?"
The middle-aged man beside Song Yun said with mouth agape, in stunned disbelief.
