American TV series: Start with the little Sheldon's wool

Chapter 310 Game Hall Incident (continued)

"This is the suit machine. Believe me, if nothing happens, you will definitely get a big prize before you run out of game coins." Mike brought Grandma Connie, who had exchanged more than 200 game coins, to a In front of the deserted game console.

There is an invisible rule in the game arcade, that is, the more popular the machine, the easier it is to win the jackpot. This involves the "pad knife" theory.

As for the pattern machine that Mike chose, even though it is not very popular now, many people must have visited it before.

The reason why it is so popular is probably because the boss has adjusted the probability of winning prizes from this machine too low. Players who never saw any reward eventually gave up on the machine.

But again, under the law of conservation of energy, this machine is more likely to win big prizes.

"I believe you~" Grandma Connie seemed to be holding a breath in her heart when she came back to the game hall.

She stopped talking and walked to the suit machine with a large box full of game coins.

The gameplay of the suit machine is very simple, that is, every time you put in a one-meter game coin, you can press the button of the game machine once.

Three rows of pictures of various colors will appear on the screen. When the scrolling of pictures stops and three identical pictures appear, you win.

To get the big prize, all three pictures on the screen need to be gold cups.

With the sound of "clatter" coin input and "ding ding ding" button sound, the game coins in the box in Grandma Connie's hand gradually decreased.

Even after more than 50 game coins were invested, this suit machine still didn't win a single small prize.

Grandma Connie’s crazy coin-tossing behavior also attracted the attention of many players. Many of them were hesitant to speak, as if they wanted to come up to persuade Grandma Connie.

But in the end, they chose to continue to wait and see.

"Mom~"

Mary, who had never been to a game arcade before, finally couldn't bear it when she saw her mother throwing away more than fifty yuan in such a short time.

Spinach is so exciting that most people can't really enjoy it.

"I'm fine!" Grandma Connie, who was already in bed, had no time to pay attention to Mary.

It is easy to become addicted. Losers want to win back, and winners want to win more. This is also the scary thing about spinach.

"Mike, will something happen to Connie?" Seeing that her mother seemed possessed, Mary turned her eyes to Mike and asked for help.

The group of people who came next to him also looked at Mike, and their mood was similar to Mary's.

"It doesn't matter, the results will be available soon." Mike was very calm at this time.

In this case, the less there is a small prize, the greater the probability of a big prize.

It seems that Grandma Connie is destined to pick up a big leak this time.

Sure enough, with the sound of game coins falling to the ground and the noise of buttons bouncing. Not long after, a fireworks-like celebration screen finally burst out on the color machine where Grandma Connie was.

What appeared at the same time as the fireworks were three golden pictures of golden cups in the center of the screen.

This is a big prize! ! !

Grandma Connie, who felt so unreal, was stunned for a moment, and then burst into hearty laughter.

At the same time, other players who had been paying attention to the excitement here also gathered around.

For a time, the game hall was full of envy and blessings.

Grandma Connie, who had created all this, could not hide her pride and happiness at this time.

"What happened?" Boss Collison, who came over after hearing the news, already had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.

"Colison, have you seen it? Is this a gold cup or three..." Grandma Connie stepped aside and displayed the gold cup pattern on the color machine more clearly in front of the boss.

"Let me think about it, if you win the big prize, you need to pay me 10,000 yuan..." Grandma Connie has never felt so good. She pulled the earth-colored boss and urged her proudly: "Hurry up and give me the money!"

"There must be something wrong. Yes, there is something wrong with the machine..." Boss Collison, who also felt unreal, subconsciously wanted to refuse the payment.

The boss was not slow to respond. In a short period of time, he figured out that the reason why this suit machine gave out a big prize was because he had adjusted the probability of winning before.

Otherwise, there is only one gold cup pattern among the hundreds of patterns in each column. It is almost impossible to shake out the gold cups in the three columns of pictures at the same time.

That probability is almost one in millions.

But who told the boss to be clever and tamper with the machine?

The regretful Boss Collison has decided to pass up Grandma Connie's grand prize by blaming the problem on the machine.

"This game console belongs to you. We didn't say anything when we didn't win. Now that you've won the lottery, you want to default on the debt. What about the money everyone lost before?" Mike guessed what the boss was thinking right away, so he chose to take the first step. Block the opponent's retreat.

You must know that because of Collison's approach to adjusting probabilities, a lot of people have lost money here recently.

If you really want to talk about it, the cost of his defaulting on the debt this time is not small. Anyway, 10,000 yuan will definitely not be enough to cover it.

These days, there are quite a few people who lose money mysteriously.

Not to mention that if the matter is exposed, the character and credibility of Boss Collison will also be questioned.

No, many smart people were already making trouble at the scene, supporting Grandma Connie while shouting for the boss to refund the money.

On the other side, the usefulness of "bodyguard" George is also reflected. With a broad build and a height of over 1.8 meters, he looks very intimidating when he stands.

"I, I'll give you money..." Boss Collison, who was silent for a while, finally chose to give in: "It's just that I don't have that much cash on hand right now."

Boss Collison, who never expected to encounter setbacks, had already transferred the money earned from the arcade to his son and asked him to buy a house in a big city.

"Then tell me what to do. Anyway, I don't want to lose a penny of my money." Grandma Connie, who was enjoying the results of her victory, was not a fuel-efficient person either. "Let's do this. I'll give you all the cash I have first. If not, I'll exchange it for game currency, which you can use at any time." Collison thought of a compromise.

"OK, deal~" Grandma Connie felt very happy after her revenge was successful. After thinking for a while, she agreed to the boss's proposal.

Later, Grandma Connie received more than 5,000 yuan in small-denomination cash and an IOU worth more than 4,000 yuan in game currency.

In line with the principle of everyone having fun together, Grandma Connie, who received the bonus, counted out one thousand yuan and handed it to Mike as hard work fee.

Then he gave a "tip" of 100 meters to each of the Cooper family and Peggy.

Of course, little Sheldon and Missy would definitely not be able to keep their money, and Mary took it in the name of their mother before they could keep it warm.

"Mike, do you have any other suggestions?" After dividing the money, Grandma Connie had no intention of stopping there.

At this time, she looked at Mike as if she were looking at "God".

"You can go over and try that coin pusher over there." Mike, who received the bonus, did not disappoint everyone.

You must know that at this time, not only Grandma Connie, but also Mr. and Mrs. George were interested in the spinach in the arcade.

And the way they looked at Mike also changed.

"Come on, let's go play coin pushing now." Grandma Connie, holding more than 4,000 game coins in her hand, couldn't wait to show off her skills again.

Before long, Grandma Connie was dragging a large group of tails to the coin pusher.

Yes, the other players in the game hall have now stopped playing the games in their hands and chose to continue following Grandma Connie to watch the fun.

It can be said that Grandma Connie has become the "most handsome boy" in this arcade.

Next, there is another long round of coin-tossing process.

There is no skill in how to play the coin pusher. You just keep inserting coins into the machine, and push the game coins in the machine to the exit using the method of "the wave behind pushes the wave ahead".

This kind of gameplay emphasizes that the wool comes from the sheep.

Of course, in order to attract customers, among the scattered waves of game coins in the coin pusher, there is also a "big mountain" made of stacked game coins.

Just wanting to shake this stubborn "big mountain" requires not only a matter of probability, but also a strong capital and a little bit of luck.

Isn't it a coincidence? What Grandma Connie lacks most now is luck and capital.

So under the witness of everyone, Grandma Connie put hundreds of game coins into the coin pusher without even frowning.

During this period, Grandma Connie also invited the Cooper family, Mike and others to help drop game coins into the coin pusher in a fancy way.

Faced with her mother's wealthy behavior, Mary no longer had any objections this time.

Just like this, with Grandma Connie's investment at all costs, the neatly arranged mountains of game coins in the coin pusher were slowly tilting towards the exit bit by bit.

Finally, after more than two hundred cuts, accompanied by the exclamations of a crowd of onlookers, the mountain of game coins crumbled toward the exit.

Wow~

A large amount of game coins slid down, making a wonderful sound.

This is the sound of money! ! !

Behind, Boss Collison, who was staring at Grandma Connie and his group, almost fainted from exhaustion when he heard this voice.

"Colison, what do you say now?" Grandma Connie, who once again won the ultimate prize, looked at the pale boss Collison with a smile.

According to specifications, a mountain of game coins consists of 10,000 game coins, and the number of game coins currently crowded at the exit is conservatively estimated to be more than 8,000.

In other words, Grandma Connie once again won the grand prize of more than 8,000 yuan.

"This, this..." Thanks to my grandma's boss, Collison, there were big beads of sweat on his smooth scalp.

His throat was dry and his mind was blank. He opened his mouth several times in a row, but was unable to utter a complete sentence.

"What, do you want to continue to keep accounts for me? Then I will use these game coins for accounting to continue playing on other game consoles." Grandma Connie, who knows how to make people angry, even made a embarrassment: " Oops, having too many game coins is also a worry~"

"No!" Seeing that Grandma Connie and her group were about to switch to other game consoles, Collison forced himself to calm down and shouted: "Sorry, due to my personal reasons, the game arcade will be closed for the day today. I'm sorry to everyone. Please forgive me."

I have to say that Boss Collison has some business acumen. Accompanied by a smiling face, he soon sent everyone else out except Grandma Connie and her party.

"Connie, do you think this will work? I'll transfer the arcade to you and our account will be wiped off." Collison revealed his plan.

Originally, he was going to live in peace and happiness with his son who lives in a big city at the end of this year, but now it's just over a month ahead of schedule, so it's not a big problem.

On the contrary, if he continues to stay in the game arcade, he will not only owe a large amount of money, but also have to worry and pray that Grandma Connie will not win the jackpot again.

That kind of mental devastation is terrible to think about.

"Is this shabby game arcade worth so much money?" Although Grandma Connie was moved by the boss's proposal, she was still unforgiving.

And when it comes to business, it's all about asking for a high price and then making a counteroffer on the spot.

"It's worth it, of course it's worth it. The game console equipment here alone cost me more than 10,000 yuan when I purchased it. Coupled with the decoration and location, you will definitely not lose money..." Speaking of his professional field, Collison showed great eloquence.

"Okay, let me suffer some losses. We will sign the transfer contract in a while. After that, our account will be written off." Grandma Connie, who thought for a while, agreed to Boss Collison's proposal again.

As a senior gambler, how can anyone resist a game arcade?

And Grandma Connie, who comes here often, also knows that Boss Collison did not lie. This small game arcade, which doesn't look like much, is indeed worth the price.
