Chapter 163: Gambling King Contest
The battle between Johnny Mousse and Nicholas Dantrous was the beginning of the prosperity of Las Vegas and the origin of the World Series of Poker. Shen Long had heard a lot of their legendary stories when he participated in the Texas Hold'em Tournament in Macau So he had long thought of a plan to use their battle of the century to hype the Flamingo Club.
For this reason, he also purchased shares in several TV stations and radio stations to facilitate publicity, "Of course, I paid so much, so I naturally have my own requirements. I will arrange them around the gaming table when your gambling game starts. The camera will record the whole process of your betting, and make it into a program and send it to TV stations and radio stations for publicity."
For top gamblers like Johnny Mousse and Nicholas Dantraus, money is no longer a problem. They hope to be recognized and admired by others, so they fully agree with this point.
"I've heard of Mr. Dantrous's name a long time ago. If I have the opportunity to fight against him, I would be very willing." Johnny Mousse agreed first.
"For me, there is nothing more rare than a respectable opponent!" A top opponent of the same level, a million-dollar reward, the title of American gambling king, and half the wall in the best hotel in the casino Advertisements, which Dan Trauss could not refuse.
"It's just that we need to adapt to this kind of gambling table in advance. After all, the gambling game we participated in before did not have cameras. I don't know if these will interfere with us!" After agreeing, the two put forward their own requirements.
"This is what it should be. I will immediately contact the TV station and the radio station to modify a few gaming tables. During this time, you can live here, and I will bear all the expenses. Then we will discuss projects and rules that are acceptable to each other!" At this time, the rules of various gambling are still relatively primitive, far from being as perfect as they will be in the future.
In the next period of time, Zhang Ni-Mousse and Nicholas-Dantros lived in the best room of the Flamingo Hotel. After getting up every day, they would go to the casino to play for a while, and then discuss the competition with Shen Long. There are also rules for the project. In the end, they agreed to play all the popular poker games on the market until all bets are lost.
This is really a gambler's property. The two of them can each put out more than one million dollars now, and the total bet is about two and a half million dollars. In addition to the one million dollar championship bonus provided by Shen Long, the winner can get To three million and a half million U.S. dollars, if it was placed in the era when Shen Long came, it would be worth hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars, definitely regarded as the gamble of the century.
Television stations and radio stations were also keenly aware that this was an excellent gimmick, and immediately arranged for people to come over and renovate the gaming table, dig holes in the gaming table, install glass, and arrange cameras below, so that the audience can clearly see The hole cards of both sides.
After the modification was completed, Johnny Mousse and Nicholas Dantraus tried to play for a few days.
Gradually adapting to the new environment, the game of the century is about to begin.
Before the start, Shen Long was not idle. He placed a large number of advertisements on TV stations, radio stations, newspapers and magazines, portraying Johnny Mousse and Nicholas Dantraus as casino heroes, emphasizing the essence of the game. The high stakes and heavy bonuses almost attracted the attention of the entire United States for a while.
There were even many people who came from all over the country to stay at the Flamingo Club, wanting to watch the match between the two gods of gamblers up close. Before the match even started, the performance of the Flamingo Club began to rise.
In the original history, the gamble between the two lasted for five months. Of course, Shen Long is unwilling to waste so much time now. He knows that people's interest in hot news will gradually decrease. If the gamble lasts too long After a long time, people will gradually start to get tired of it later.
So he asked the two people to raise the bet amount to a very high level from the very beginning, planning to end the gambling game of the century within ten days, and directly exchanged 3.5 million US dollars into cash and piled them on the gaming table. The impact that cash brings to people is not comparable to that of chips. When viewers across the country saw the mountain of cash on TV, they were immediately dumbfounded, "Oh my god, so much cash, these two guys earn more than robbing a bank." Hurry up!"
No wonder when it comes to the final decisive battle in the gambling film, the director always has to give a few scenes of piles of cash, this kind of visual stimulation is really powerful! Shen Long felt dizzy seeing so much cash.
Johnny Mousse and Nicholas Dantraus are sitting in a transparent room covered by soundproof glass, and the audience is watching the game nervously outside. Once the two start a direct confrontation, the blood of the audience will be quickly pumped , Adrenaline is secreted rapidly, whenever the battle situation is announced, they either sigh, or cheer for the winner they support, as if the winner is themselves.
At the end of every day of gambling, the TV station quickly transported the video back to the headquarters for editing, made a wonderful collection and started broadcasting, and the radio station even arranged for a commentator who is proficient in poker gambling to give real-time commentary on the game.
For a time, the entire United States was crazy about this gamble. Although many conservatives were very dissatisfied with it, their opposition could not stop the enthusiasm of radio stations and TV stations in the face of ratings and audience ratings.
On the eighth day of the battle, Nicholas Dantrouss finally lost his last chip during the Texas Hold'em game. He politely got up and bowed slightly like Johnny Mousse, "Mr. Mousse, I had to let you go."
Losing more than one million dollars and still maintaining such a gentlemanly demeanor, Nicholas Dantrous quickly won the favor of the audience and the audience across the United States, and the audience gave him thunderous applause.
After hugging Dan Trauss tightly, Johnny Mousse screamed and threw himself on the poker table, burying his whole body in the pile of cash. This photo and the photo of Dan Trauss bowing It has also become a classic in the casinos of the world, and people regard the two of them as idols one after another.
Johnny Mousse won a huge sum of 3.5 million US dollars and a gold bracelet engraved with the words of the king of gambling. The next day his huge photo was hung on the outer wall of the Flamingo Hotel.
The Flamingo Hotel also took advantage of this upsurge and became a holy place in the hearts of all American gamblers. Countless gamblers came from all over the country, wanting to become the next Johnny Mousse.
