Reborn in 2010, the AI ​​in my mind is too powerful.

Chen Yiran originally thought that this time it would be a scenario where the male and female duo wreaked havoc in the casino.

Unexpectedly, Hannah brought along two third wheels, both of whom were his classmates. One was named Sophia, who played the cello. The other was named Emily, the same name as the beautiful real estate agent he couldn't forget, and she studied piano.

It's outrageous! These two are actually a couple, both wearing T-shirts and looking incredibly cool. Chen Yiran actually felt a sense of crisis, realizing that her charm might not be able to compete with theirs.

Hannah was also considering it. Although she really wanted to see if Chen Yiran's photographic memory could actually allow him to dominate the game like in the movie Rain Man, and even get kicked out of the casino.

However, she wasn't really interested in gambling, so she asked two people to accompany her first. If Chen Yiran liked to gamble, she could go shopping with her two best friends.

The four of them agreed to meet at San Jose Airport, from where a direct flight to Palm Springs would take less than an hour.

With a clear goal in mind, the four of them took a taxi directly to Cabassong in the west after arriving in Palm Springs.

It's not far from Palm Springs, about a 20-minute drive. This is a Native American reservation, so there are preferential policies; unlike most casinos in the US where you have to be 21 to gamble, here you can start at 18.

To be honest, although Native Americans suffered terribly in history, most Native Americans in the United States today live quite comfortably, thanks to access to casinos and certain tourism privileges.

Many tribes are actually quite wealthy and often share money among their members.

The Morongo Casino, a building rising abruptly from the desert, appears somewhat lonely on this rather desolate land.

Everyone says this casino has a lot of tribal elements, but Chen Yiran hasn't noticed them at all.

As one of the most popular tourist destinations around Los Angeles, Chen Yiran had naturally visited this place before her rebirth.

This place is considered one of the most popular vacation spots for Chinese people in Los Angeles, and it is almost only comparable to Big Bear Lake.

Chen Yiran had a very good impression of Morongo, and the reason was simple. The time he came back before his rebirth, he won 13,000 dollars on the first day, over 30,000 on the second day, and another 30,000 on the third day.

The windfall of over 7 yuan made Chen Yiran very happy for a long time. After returning home, he immediately bought the Devialet Phantom speaker that he had been hesitant to purchase.

Having brought the money with him this time, Chen Yiran felt that it would be disrespectful to Jasmine if he didn't take 100,000 yuan with him.

The four people checked in at the front desk and booked two Casitas at the Oasis cabins.

These are small villas scattered around the building, offering better privacy and each with its own private pool. Every house offers unobstructed views of the vast desert landscape from its doorway, truly giving the feeling of living in an oasis cabin in the desert.

This type of popular room is not only expensive, but also very rare and difficult to book. Chen Yiran naturally asked Datong to help her book it, and Sophia and Emily were also able to book, which made Chen Yiran realize that these two girls also had rather complicated backgrounds.

Sure enough, Old Qian's friend is very likely also Old Qian.

The four of them put down their luggage, took the $25 lucky chips given to them by the casino, and excitedly boarded the hotel shuttle bus to head to the casino.

The three girls looked at Chen Yiran expectantly. Emily and Sophia clearly knew about Chen Yiran's photographic memory and wanted to see his performance.

Chen Yiran felt it was time to pour cold water on things.

"You three, stop staring at me. I'm telling you in advance, I'm not guaranteed to win either."

Emily turned to Hannah and asked, "See, see, I told you no one could really have a photographic memory. He must have been lying to you, using some kind of magic trick."

Hannah hesitated for a moment and said, "That shouldn't be the case. I just randomly took two books from my dad, the most obscure kind that normal people would never read. I showed them to him once, and he memorized the whole page."

Chen Yiran shook her head and said, "I didn't say I don't have a photographic memory, but your dad is really, really amazing. I used to think that only pretentious people would pretend to watch those kinds of 'Qipa Talk' shows. Turns out, people actually buy Solzhenitsyn's 'Red Wheel' to read. I heard that book is over ten million words long! And it's all written in a very dry style."

Hannah asked in confusion, "If you have a photographic memory, how come you can't win? In blackjack, isn't it just a matter of calculating the probability at the end?"

Chen Yiran said with a smile, "There's a Chinese saying, 'The devil is one foot tall, but the Tao is ten feet tall.' You'll see when we get to the table."

As they chatted, the car arrived at the casino entrance.

As the group entered the casino, they were greeted by countless slot machines, stretching from the entrance to the far end of their line of sight.

The clanging of electronic sounds mingled with shouts and cheers, and all sorts of machines were adorned with colorful and gaudy lights.

None of them were interested in slot machines, so they ignored them and walked forward, eventually arriving at the area for various table games.

Three-card poker, Pineapple, dice game, roulette game.

Every game has its own audience, and there are suitable players for every table, regardless of its size or limit.

However, Chen Yiran was unwilling to play any of these games. In fact, in most casino games, the house has a nearly 6% advantage, plus a huge advantage in mathematical expectation, making it extremely difficult for players to win.

This is why Blackjack and Baccarat are so popular; they are the easiest games for players to win.

In baccarat, purely based on probability, the casino's advantage is only about 1.5%.

In blackjack, if the rules are followed correctly, the house only has a 0.5% advantage, meaning that a little luck can make a difference.

Blackjack, due to its unique rules, has also given rise to card counting and memorization gameplay.

In this game, both the dealer and the players receive two cards at the beginning. The dealer only reveals one card, and the players choose to draw or pass based on this card.

The ultimate goal is to reach 21 points, of course. But if you exceed 21, you'll bust, so you usually won't go for more than 17 points.

The dealer has very strict rules: as long as the number of cards is less than 17, they will keep asking for cards until they hit the bust or exceed 17.

Since an Ace can be considered both 1 and 11, a starting hand of Ace plus 10JQK is a straight win, and the player receives an extra 0.5x payout. Players can also choose to double their bet if their starting hand is 10 or 11, thus winning with just one card.

The combination of these rules creates a situation where players have a greater advantage when they have more high-ranking cards.

Card counting isn't as difficult as you might imagine. In fact, people with a decent memory can easily calculate the winning rate of suitable players using formulas.

Divide all the cards into three types: small cards 2-6, medium cards 7-9, and big cards are naturally 10JQKA.

The starting count is 0. When a small card appears, the count increases by 1; when a large card appears, the count decreases by 1; and when a medium card appears, the count remains the same. Therefore, you simply keep counting.

Then, based on the number of cards remaining, a true number can be calculated.

Once the true number is +3, the dealer's advantage is neutralized. When there are few cards left and the true number is +8 or +9, it's time to overbet. At this point, the player's winning probability will be significantly higher than the dealer's.

However, the devil is always one step ahead of the saint. In reality, all sorts of self-aggrandizing card-counting legends, including Ma Kaiwen, who was so highly praised that he even made a movie, are probably just stories made up to gain fame and make money.

Because casinos use 6 decks of cards per round of blackjack, and then cut off 40% of them!

In this situation, calculating any probability is meaningless because most cards are never used, and the true number is unlikely to become +3 or higher.

At a high-stakes blackjack table with minimum bets of 500 and maximum bets of 10000, Chen Yiran pointed to the card box and said to the three girls, "Now you understand, this is why my photographic memory is meaningless."

"what?"

"What?"

"ha?"

Chen Yiran was a little speechless, and then began to teach math to the three music students.

As the dealer dealt the cards, he watched with a smile as Chen Yiran talked at length about how to calculate cards and how to win money from the casino.

Then the first thing I did was send Chen Yiran a blackjack.

"Sir, with your luck, you could win big money without even counting cards."

Chen Yiran tossed a $25 chip to the dealer as a tip. The dealer slammed the chip against the edge of the table a few times before putting it in his tip box. (I don't know why he always slams the chip against the table when receiving tips; I guess it's for video recording or to create an emotional connection and encourage more tipping.)

Chen Yiran felt that it was worth believing in metaphysics. Having lived two lives and won money every time he came to the Morongo Casino, there must be some reason for it.

Perhaps the ancestors of the Native Americans found Chen Yiran pleasing to the eye.

Chen Yiran didn't use any card counting techniques, but instead used the most basic textbook gameplay. With a bit of luck, he won over 10,000 in the first hand.

The three girls wanted to join the game, but the stakes were too high for them, so they decided to go play blackjack at a smaller table.

They also felt that playing cards wasn't as fun as dice, so after much deliberation, the three of them went to play the spinning wheel.

Chen Yiran played for a while and won more than 3 yuan. Feeling a bit bored, he started letting Jasmine give him instructions again.

Jasmine's card counting is more accurate, strictly following mathematical rules, and she always chooses the bidding method that best conforms to mathematical rules.

Then he successfully reduced Chen Yiran's chips from 3 to 3000.

Chen Yiran thought to herself: Sigh, you're not good at it either.

I was just following mathematical probabilities, but who knew that low-probability events would always happen (┬＿┬)

Chen Yiran: Sigh, it seems that artificial intelligence is just so-so, not that impressive.

【(。•︿•。)凸，How can luck be considered a skill? ……Luck! ……Can the tricks of street urchins who try their luck be considered real talent?】

Chen Yiran: Don't use Kong Yiji's style of speech to cover up your embarrassment.

"Let's go play Texas! I'll show you what I, Jasmine, can do."
