I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 157 and 159: Beautiful female dealers dealing cards online.

As Uchiha Naruto wandered aimlessly through the casino, he discreetly observed his surroundings through his sunglasses.

The ceiling was covered with countless red-glowing cameras, and several bodyguards in black were scattered in the corners, scrutinizing any guests who made the slightest move.

It can be said that there are almost no blind spots, and under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to cheat in a casino.

Naruto Uchiha glanced at his Patek Philippe watch and realized it was only a little past 8 p.m., more than an hour before Chairman Hyodo's special program was scheduled to begin.

With nothing else to do, Uchiha Naruto decided to kill some time at the casino.

Start playing from a young age, the first thing to do is play pachinko.

Pachinko is a popular game in Japan that appeals to all ages and is quite simple to play.

Modern electronic lottery machines are even automatic in launching small steel balls.

Players simply need to launch the small steel ball into the prize area, and the slot machine in the center of the pachinko will trigger a prize-drawing animation. If three numbers or patterns match, the hidden prize area of ​​the pachinko will be opened.

Compared to before, it's much easier to bounce small steel balls into the hidden prize area. For every small steel ball swallowed, a dozen or even dozens of small steel balls will be returned.

Moreover, the hidden winning zone will be open for several minutes, giving you the opportunity to win dozens or even hundreds of times your initial investment. This is one of the reasons why pachinko is so appealing.

Pachinko parlors are ubiquitous, but ironically, gambling is illegal in Japan.

However, where there's a policy, there's a countermeasure. Although pachinko parlors can't exchange pachinko balls for cash on the spot, they can exchange them for specific gifts for players. And as soon as you leave the parlor, there's a special shop to collect those gifts.

This reveals a glimpse into Japan's hypocritical and self-deceiving nature.

In the pachinko area, there were many pretty girls who were clearly not customers, drinking beverages while skillfully feeding steel balls into the machine.

These girls are all very pretty. Some have pure and lovely faces, wearing JK uniforms and white knee-high socks; some have cold and aloof faces, dressed like female secretaries, but their busty figures make their necklines almost burst out. Some even cosplay the most popular anime characters.

In short, Huan Yan has all kinds of alluring uniforms, from the plump to the thin, so there's no fear that guests won't be interested.

These girls are hired by the casino specifically to accompany the guests for food, drinks, and entertainment.

Casino patrons are almost all middle-aged or older men, who are more likely to lose their temper and gamble big when surrounded by beautiful women.

Beautiful female dealers dealing cards online is a basic practice in various casinos, but no casino can display all kinds of beautiful women like commodities at Elysium.

Each guest at the Palace of Bliss is accompanied by several beautiful women who provide meticulous care.

Naruto Uchiha randomly picked a seat in the pachinko section. The girl sitting there was a long-haired girl with black hair who was wearing a cheongsam that revealed her slender legs.

As soon as the girl in the cheongsam saw Uchiha Naruto approaching, she smiled brightly and readily made way for him.

How do I replace the small steel balls here?

Although Naruto Uchiha hadn't played pachinko much, it was so popular in this country that he picked it up naturally without any instruction.

"Reporting to the customer, the pachinko here costs 100 yen per marble. And we only accept exchanges starting from 10,000 yen."

The girl in the cheongsam knelt at Uchiha Naruto's feet and answered gently.

So expensive!?

Although Uchiha Naruto remained outwardly calm, he was inwardly somewhat surprised.

As far as he knew, pachinko parlors on the street usually only cost 1 yen for a small steel ball, and even the more expensive ones cost 4 yen each.

Playing pachinko can be incredibly expensive; a single machine can consume more than one small steel ball per second. If you're playing with steel balls that cost 4 yen each, you can easily spend tens of thousands of yen in less than an hour.

Not to mention pachinko, which costs 100 yen per ball; playing it would probably burn through money faster than you could burn through cash.

In other words, only the wealthy can afford to play this game.

"Give me this 10,000 yen in small steel balls."

Naruto Uchiha pushed up his sunglasses and took out a Fukuzawa Yukichi card from his pocket.

The girl in the cheongsam took the money with both hands, tilted her head, and seemed a little dazed. After a while, she asked uncertainly, "Sir, are you just exchanging 10,000 yen?"

"Back in the day, some people could turn 200,000 into 37 million. For me, turning 10,000 into 10 million is no problem!"

Uchiha Naruto said, feigning arrogance.

The girl in the cheongsam paused for a moment, wondering if she was some poor guy who had sneaked in.

However, the girl in the cheongsam had worked at the Bliss Palace and had seen many wealthy guests, so she had a good eye for business.

The guest wearing sunglasses, with his Patek Philippe watch on his wrist and his handmade suit, is undoubtedly very valuable, so there's no indication that he's trying to appear wealthy beyond his means.

Perhaps they are wealthy people with eccentricities.

However, the pachinko at the Palace of Bliss is not so easy to deal with.

Although the girl in the cheongsam was inwardly complaining, she smiled and pressed her soft, delicate body against the machine, stuffed the banknotes into it, and respectfully handed over the small steel balls that were ejected from it, holding a small box.

Actually, this 10,000 yen was Naruto Uchiha's own money.

There were indeed mountains of cash piled up in that manor back then, but Naruto Uchiha didn't touch them.

Although he drove off in the Ferrari California and casually stole Junfu's Patek Philippe watch and suit, it was merely a disguise; he had no intention of keeping them for himself.

Although Naruto Uchiha used it without any restraint.

Naruto Uchiha grabbed a small steel ball and threw it in. The various colored LED lights and animations on the pachinko machine began to flash in a dazzling array of colors, and passionate music started playing. The gorgeous and glamorous sound stimulated people's desires.

In Japan, there are quite a few people addicted to pachinko. The greed for high-risk, high-reward strategies and the light pollution from pachinko machines stimulate the release of bardonin and adrenaline in the player's brain, eventually ruining the person.

As Naruto was playing, he reached out and grabbed the small box from the girl's hand, but the texture felt off.

Looking down, I saw that in less than three minutes, only two or three of the hundred small steel balls remained.

"Dear guest, would you like my assistance?" the girl in the cheongsam asked tactfully, trying not to reveal a smile.

"No need, I'm just practicing. The remaining few steel balls are enough."

As expected, nine out of ten gambles end in defeat. Uchiha Naruto frowned. In that case, he would have to resort to special methods.

"Magnetic Release!"
