Ever since the moment Francis opened the entrance doors for Alexander and the two had their conversation, which was nothing more than a bargain for allowing Alexander in, the young multimillionaire could hear all the enticing sounds coming from inside the casino. He heard the sound of the slot machines, the money wheels, the chatting of the other clientele, and most predominantly, the energetic music blasting from all the speakers inside.Alexander’s imagination ran wild and it made him more eager to go in and increase the money he had left as soon as possible.Now walking with Francis through the passage that leads directly to the actual casino, the sounds Alexander heard got even louder, making the young multimillionaire even more enthusiastic about what was installed for him. Francis, who was quick to notice Alexander’s excitement, chuckled.Alexander was also quick to notice his temporary guide’s response to his excitement and he furrowed his eyebrows, wondering what he could hav
Left alone, Alexander, once again, looked around the parts of the casino that he could see, observing all the games being played and thinking about which to go for.After a couple of seconds of not coming up with a decision, he chuckled and said to himself:“What am I thinking so hard for? I have a lot of money to play with and from where I’m standing, the night has just started, which means I have a lot of time on my hand to play as many games as possible. Lastly, I have the system that’s guaranteed to make this an eventful night. I’ll just take it one at a time.”Just then, Alexander’s ears twitched when he heard a sound that drew his attention.He looked to the right and saw the intense game of poker that was taking place on one of the poker tables.He then looked at another poker table beside that one and saw another game of poker that was just about to conclude and he smirked.“Bingo. Looks like I have my first game to play” he said to himself, then looked at the chip exchange co
Melvin stared at Alexander for a couple of seconds, speechless as his brain processed what he had just heard.It wasn’t like it was an uncommon occurrence for one of the clientele to spend that type of money on a single day of gambling, but the fact that it was someone of Alexander’s age made things a little more shocking. Normally, people who were of Alexander’s age didn’t have that much money to spend and even when they did, it was never their own money they spent. It was usually their family’s money and, because of that, they never spent anything close to a million dollars.For Alexander to do just that left Melvin amazed and the man behind the counter started to chuckle.“That sounds wonderful sir and I wish you the best of luck with that,” Melvin said, and Alexander smirked. “Thank you. I know I’ll be needing every last bit of it”, Alexander replied, and because he was oozing a lot of confidence, Melvin, who for a second had started to think that this was the young multimilliona
Alexander took his right hand to the opened duffle bag and ran his fingers along the uppermost betting chips, causing them to generate clicking sounds as the chips hit one another.Next, he pulled out his left hand from his pocket, took it to the open duffle bag like the other hand, and stuffed both of them into the pool of betting chips. He rummaged around for a second and brought out two different colored betting chips.In his left hand was a purple-colored betting chip and in his right hand was a maroon-colored one.Both had different dollar numerical values on their faces.“Five hundred dollars and a thousand dollars respectively. From what I can see on the surface, I’m guessing that these are the only two types of betting chips in here and there are more of the one on my right than the one on my left”, Alexander said.He had stuffed his hands into the pile of betting chips and fished around because he only saw the two types in his hand and wanted to confirm if there were other va
All the distinguished gentlemen sitting around the poker table looked at each other, skeptically, for a second, then they looked at Alexander and frowned. “Is that how you children of the current generation speak to your elders? No greeting first or bowing heads in respect for the years of experience and wisdom we have gained beyond them all. Just straight up talking the moment you walk up somewhere” Said one of the men by Alexander’s immediate left. Another gentleman chuckled.“I understand your sentiment, Stanley. Sometimes, I catch my grandchildren acting out of terms and disrespecting their elders like this misguided young fellow and I have to constantly put it upon myself to teach them the error of their ways. Seems like this one is lacking when it comes to someone that'll do the same for him and that’s quite unfortunate” said the aged gentleman who was sitting directly opposite to Stanley. Stanley looked at the gentleman and said “I’m sorry to say this, Conroy, but I’ve never
Stanley furrowed his eyebrows. He interlocked his fingers, took them to his chin, and then pointed at the duffle bag.“So that large bag, you’re saying it’s filled with—“ he asked, but was cut short.“With betting chips, that’s right” Alexander replied. Stanley looked at the dealer with a face that asked the man if what Alexander had just said was true and the dealer, who had no doubts after rubbing his palms around the bag and feeling the lumps caused by a cluster of betting chips, nodded.Stanley grunted and then looked at his three friends, and they didn’t have to say anything to communicate their thoughts. He looked back at Alexander and asked “And how much exactly is in there?”Alexander shrugged then stepped forward, tapping the dealer on the shoulder and gesturing that he should move aside.“Sure thing sir,” The dealer said, dropping the one thousand dollar betting chip back into the duffle bag and stepping away from the table so that Alexander could return to where he was or
“Outsmart the dealer, huh?” Alexander placed his hand on his chin, sneaking stares at the dealer beside him as he contemplated the mission he had just received from the system. How was he going to outsmart the dealer? He wondered. He watched Stanley, Conroy, Patrick, and Tim arrange their betting chips, preparing for the new game of poker they were about to play.‘While I think about that, I had better use this time to…’ Alexander thought then, in order to act like he knew how to play the game, he tried copying what they did.He reached into his duffle bag and, with both hands bowled together, brought out as many betting chips as they could contain.He dropped everything on the table in front of him.Normally, the number of chips he brought out wouldn’t have been enough when compared to the number of betting chips each of the aged men had in front of them.However, when it came to value, his was just as much as theirs, so he only needed the amount he had on his side of the table.
