After waiting for more than ten minutes, no new empty seats appeared in the poker area.
Too lazy to wait any longer, Amy took Qin Xuan to the nearby entertainment complex.
Although called the entertainment complex, it was more like an area specifically designed for Dragon Country people.
Dice, Mahjong, Pai Gow, Chess.
Almost anything Qin Xuan could think of was available.
However, these were all games played by Dragon Country people, and little Amy didn't understand them.
So after a brief tour, the two decided to play a more common game: dice.
The formal name for dice is Sic Bo, commonly known as "big or small" gambling.
It is extremely common in ancient costume dramas from Dragon Country.
Typically, casinos would set up games with three dice, and then let gamblers (i.e., the players) bet on whether the outcome would be big or small after shaking.
But in reality, the actual rules of Sic Bo are much more complex than what is shown on television.
Besides the big or small bets shown on TV, players can also bet on odd or even, specific numbers, triples, or the total sum.
Of course, the odds for each betting option are different.
Amy possessed the superpower of X-ray vision, allowing her to see the dice inside the shaker.
Therefore, for her, this game was a perfect opportunity to fully utilize her abilities.
Pulling Qin Xuan, she squeezed her way to the gambling table, just in time for a round of dice to finish.
Amy tugged at Qin Xuan's clothes, signaling him to lean down. Then, she whispered into his ear, "Brother Qin Xuan, 3, 4, 5, a total of twelve points. It's big."
"Bet directly on the total sum of 12, the odds are 1 to 6!"
Hearing Amy's information, Qin Xuan nodded and casually placed Amy's 100 US dollars on the bet for a total sum of 12.
With the dealer's standard call of "Open!", the three dice were revealed to everyone.
3, 4, 5.
The dice were exactly as Amy had said.
Seeing this, Amy exclaimed "yes," her lips slightly parted, her small face, still with a trace of dirt, filled with excitement.
This was not an act.
Although she already knew the situation of the dice before the shaker was opened, the money she won was real.
A total of 12, with the casino's odds set at 1 to 6, meant her 100 US dollars had now become a full 700 US dollars, a multiple increase!
If this continued, Teacher Gan's medical expenses would surely be covered soon, and she could even buy him some nutritional supplements!
Lost in thought, the 700 US dollars in chips she had just won were returned to Qin Xuan.
The dealer responsible for the operation had already pressed the button next to the shaker.
The shaker closed, and the dice, once again driven by the machine, began to spin wildly.
"Alright!"
"Shaker stopped, please place your bets."
About a minute later, the constantly ringing shaker gradually fell silent.
The dealer was very professional, appropriately opening the betting channels at this time for players to place their wagers.
"This time it's 2, 6, 6, a total of 14 points. Still big!"
After confirming the situation of the dice, Amy quietly informed Qin Xuan of the results again.
Without hesitation, Qin Xuan directly placed the 700 US dollars in chips he had just won onto the bet for a total sum of 14.
Ding!
A few minutes later, with a crisp bell sound, the dealer spoke to everyone again.
However, this time it wasn't to allow bets, but to ask people to leave.
"Time is up, bets are closed."
"Everyone, please pay attention, Open!"
Another hearty Dragon Country phrase "Open" was uttered, and the bottom plate covered by the shaker lid was instantly revealed.
The three bone dice were scattered, revealing patterns formed by blue dots on top.
2, 6, 6.
Exactly the same numbers Amy had called out.
And the odds for a precise total sum of 14 were an astonishing 1 to 12!
This meant that in just two rounds of betting, Amy and Qin Xuan had turned 100 US dollars into 9100 US dollars!
Nearly a hundredfold increase!
Such an outrageous speed of earning money was enough to move anyone.
This is why so many people in the world fantasize about getting rich overnight through gambling.
However, it was a pity that they did not have Qin Xuan's ability to hear the inner voices of all things.
Nor did they have Amy's ability to see through objects.
Therefore, most gamblers with such a mindset ended up losing their money.
Even worse, some lost themselves in the process, unable to break free.
After two rounds, Amy looked at the chips in Qin Xuan's hands, her eyes shining.
In the past, she had considered using her abilities to gamble.
But Teacher Gan had always forbidden it.
Because he said that there was no one around her whom she could completely trust.
As long as they knew she possessed such a heaven-defying ability, they would turn her into a tool to make money for them.
So even though Amy and Teacher Gan could only live in the sewers.
Even though Teacher Gan was critically ill before.
She had never again thought of going to a casino to gamble.
But now, Amy had tasted the sweetness of gambling.
What had increased from 100 to 9100 were not just the chips in front of her, but also the nascent desires in her mind.
In just two rounds, she could earn 9000 US dollars.
What about five rounds?
Ten rounds?
Not even that much, if she just bet on the 1 to 6 odds each time, after ten rounds, this 9100 US dollars would become an immeasurable number.
At that point, let alone paying for the teacher's medical treatment, buying the entire casino would be effortless!
Therefore, this time, after the dice stopped spinning, Amy excitedly blurted out all the numbers, "2, 3, 1, a total of 6 points, small!"
This time, the total sum was 6, with an astonishing odds of 1 to 14!
She could no longer feel the presence of anyone else around her.
She only knew that with just one more bet, she could obtain over a hundred thousand US dollars!
Hearing Amy's excited voice, Qin Xuan's brow furrowed slightly.
He knew the numbers she spoke would be accurate, but blurting them out so openly.
If the casino staff heard it, they would definitely become suspicious.
Fortunately, after looking around, Qin Xuan didn't notice anyone paying attention to their side.
But to be safe, he still placed his chips on the lower odds of "big or small."
"Brother Qin Xuan, you placed it wrong!"
"You should have placed it on 6, hurry, it's still time to change your bet!"
Seeing that all the chips were placed on the "small" bet, Amy instantly became anxious and was about to jump up.
She quickly tugged at Qin Xuan's clothes, loudly telling him that the chips were placed in the wrong position.
But at that moment, the dealer's bell also faintly chimed.
"Everyone, please pay attention, Open!"
The process continued, and it seemed no one around noticed anything unusual with Qin Xuan's setup.
After ringing the bell and pressing the button, the dealer, as usual, announced the numbers for this round of Sic Bo.
"2, 3, 1, a total of 6 points, small!"
"Congratulations to the winning players!"
