Chapter 51 – Onboard Casino (4)
In the end, Seo Ji-yu finally followed me.
It’s a pity that I couldn’t see the ending after researching at best, but it seems to me that I just don’t want to work overtime.
I asked Tia to go by car.
“If I say something to you inside the casino, just nod your head unconditionally. Is it easy?”
“I only know obedience!”
“It’s nice.”
The car that took us stopped at the same spot as yesterday.
I left Kim Jeong-tae alone and walked confidently with the rest of the crew.
Seo Ji-yu, carrying a heavy bag of money, groaned and followed me.
“How much did you get here?”
“About 250 million.”
“Yeah? What’s so many?”
“Maybe not enough?”
Tia and Alice’s looks are so glamorous, and Seoji Yudo is a beauty in her own way, so she immediately drew attention from those around her.
I skipped the line completely and went forward and shoved my money bag into the exchange office.
“Exchange.”
“Oops…”
The employees who were very embarrassed were very hesitant and barely changed the chips.
Tia and Alice are there, so they can’t recognize me.
As I ignored their guidance and stepped inside, Alice whispered to me.
“How about using the oracle to break the slot machine here?”
“It’s not even close to that. They may refuse to pay the winnings because the machine is broken.”
This shipboard casino is not a slot machine, but a variety of table games.
Slot machines are just a game to pass the time when the seats are full.
In addition, although the maximum winning amount of the slot machine is 2,000, it is not a big blow to the casino even if winning 10 times.
If it is a casino of this scale, the operating profit will be at least billions… If it comes out a lot, it will be possible to reach 10 billion.
There are slot machines with cumulative winnings of 100 million won, but they are all in business, so I put them in.
I passed the general area and headed to the hunter-only area.
Business is terribly good here too, but the main thing is that way too.
While Tia accepts a drink and enjoys it very much.
The manager of the casino, who was contacted belatedly, jumped out.
“T, Special Investigator? What happened to our casino…”
“Let all the guests go.”
The manager, in his mid-30s, frowned at my words, but he had no choice but to carry out the order.
Since I came, I thought it was wrong to just go over anyway.
No matter how much you try to do something like a gray area, you can’t go against the investigative agency.
It is quite dangerous at the point where loan sharks openly wander around the business.
They must have been bribing the local police quite a bit from the beginning.
I pushed back the hunters who were trying to stealthily escape from the inside.
“You remain.”
“Ah, yes…”
“Sir. All the regular customers have been sent. If you have business with the Hunter customers…”
“You did a good job. Of course you have business to do.”
After untangling Tia, I entered the hunter-only area.
Not as spacious as I expected.
The five hunters who were occupying the seats first saw Tia and shook her body.
All of them were active hunters of A-B ranks who could have had some money.
Quaang!
As I said before, Alice took her place and destroyed her magic sensor in one blow, which was making her noise.
Occupying an empty seat just in time, I asked the manager, who was still stiff.
“What’s the game here? Hold’em? Seven?”
“It’s mainly seven poker. Hey, Detective. Are you really going to play it?”
“What is the minimum?”
“Buy in for $100. No limit.”
“What about the fees?”
“The rake is 5%, but there is a cap of up to $100.”
The manager who answered my questions in a bewildered yet sincere manner.
I clicked my tongue inwardly at the roughly expected answer.
‘It’s no limit, but the upper limit of the rake is 100 bucks… It’s very fucking. It’s an open plan to cheat.’
In other words, if you bet more than $2000, the commission will no longer increase…
From the point of view of the gambling establishment, it is a ridiculous rule.
Of course, the business that receives commissions is the most stable, but it is too small compared to the trouble of collecting these hunter customers.
Even the magic sensor that Alice destroyed a moment ago was a piece of equipment that could reach at least a few thousand to a billion units.
There is only one table here, but it is not something you can buy just by getting a fee.
So what should I do to get more money?
That’s why it’s best for the gambling house to get involved in the game and directly take the money from the customers.
This is much better than taking a small fee.
In other words, cheating.
Among them, there is a very high probability that one person, maybe several people… Tajja from the gambling house will be mixed.
Of course, these guys don’t gamble honestly.
You are playing with the money of the precious casino, so you must win for sure.
There are three main ways to expect.
There are scams using hunter abilities, scams using machines, and traditional scams.
I decided to seal the fraud using my abilities first.
The manager was very apologetic, rubbing his hands together and almost pleading with me.
“Sir. Today, the anti-cheating device is broken, so you can’t play the game…”
“Oh, it’s okay. I have this.”
A wedding ring worn on the ring finger of the left hand.
As I turned it half a turn, a lump of high-purity green dust emitted a brilliant glow.
The hunters at the table were horrified to recognize it without difficulty.
“What, that green dust ring?”
“Where in the world did that…”
Alice, who was watching my actions, was silently shocked from behind, but…
I wasn’t too worried.
Usually when Hunters see this, they suspect my wife, Yeriel, not me.
Just as expected. They reacted roughly as expected.
“As expected, Yeriel Frost. To find even a rough stone of that size… “
“Boo, it’s a ring where you can feel the love of your wife.”
“I’m sorry, but to prevent cheating, wearing accessories is prohibited.”
“Please look at this much. I’m not a hunter, and my wife gets angry if I leave this out.”
In response to my answer, the manager acknowledged the special exceptions without hesitation.
“…Is that so? Well, he shouldn’t be angry.”
This completes the prevention of fraud using abilities.
The other hunters seemed to want to leave quickly, but couldn’t stand up.
Whether they did or not, I calmly moved on to the next step.
You’ll have to save some quotas, but thanks to Oracle, you won’t have to worry too much about machine-driven fraud.
All that remains is the traditional scam.
I was confident in my eyesight, but I wasn’t confident enough to discriminate between a professional gambler and a gambler.
So I gave an order to Tia, who was standing behind me.
“Tia. If anyone is playing with their hands here, cut their wrists right away.”
“…”
Nod.
Tia nodded her head eagerly, as she said earlier.
In fact, I don’t know if he’ll be able to detect hand play.
But when she is in the position of cheating, she can’t help but be very afraid of her gaze.
After all, bluffing isn’t something that can only be done with cards.
Thanks to this, the blue-faced hunters started the game with trembling hands.
Seven poker is played without any kind of fraud.
I robbed other players of their money without much difficulty.
“This, this…”
“I lost. You’re strangely strong.”
Strangely strong
Does it appear that way to others?
I laughed inwardly and robbed the players one by one.
In fact, I didn’t really care if I won or lost, so I was betting strictly according to the odds.
Of course, there were no tricks they didn’t know about.
Thanks to this, the players who became dog hair were not without complaints, but they did not dare to openly protest.
They know too.
If you get caught by the special forces and end up losing some money, you’re very lucky.
‘Most of them have already let go. It’s good.’
I decided to rekindle some fire in their hearts that had cooled off.
Now, there are only three people with good skills left, including me.
The manager, who was restless at the table, trembled at my words.
“By the way, do you all know about that?”
“Four?”
“If you get caught messing around on these gambling tables, you’ll be charged with fraud rather than gambling.”
“…”
Hunters listened to me without even breathing.
Satisfied with the good manners of the audience, I went on.
“It’s not a gamble at the point where the win or loss is already decided. In this way, the victims may rather get back some of the damage.”
Even the dullest and stupidest will notice at this point.
That I was not aiming for them.
The hunters who became furry with me changed their complexion in an instant and turned to my allies.
“Sir. That means that this is a fraudulent gamble…”
“Are you excited?”
“Now, please wait. Our casino does not allow cheating of any kind…”
“Sit down. You have to hit it yourself, right?”
I glanced at one of the players and he backed away as if he had been waiting.
When the tazza, which had been planted by the casino, moved away, the manager, trembling all over, had no choice but to sit down.
Clearly a strong hunter, he glared straight at me.
There was no trace of pretense left on his face.
“… How did you know?”
Swish
I took the picture out of my suit pocket and threw it at him.
The main character in the photo was a tazza who had just resigned, and was receiving a bag of money from a casino employee.
When the business closed yesterday, I was distributed my share.
Fortunately, it was delivered outdoors and Kim Jung-tae took pictures, but even if it was secretly delivered indoors, the result would not have been very different.
“Her…”
“This is the only way to make money with a one-table special area. Hunter gamblers must have brought a lot of money at least with a head count…”
“Those bastards!”
“Stay still. We’re still in the game.”
Only then did Hana, who was resentful after realizing that she had been scammed, finally calm down at my words.
The manager squeezed his empty hands as if he would kill me at any moment.
