Yeah no XD Vegas is not so kind.

The casinos would not give a damn how you're cheating.

Well, okay. They would to some extent, for the sake of future prevention. And sometimes people get really damn clever. There was a great story about some Russians who figured out some insufficiently-random random-number-generator code in one set of them, and engineered backwards to be able to play the odds just enough to make a killing off gas-station slots in various places, or something like that... but that wouldn't have worked in a casino, because:

They understand probability, and they know what their odds are. They'd know he's cheating, as a simple factual matter. He would have been asked to leave way sooner into his win streak. (And then probably blacklisted from all the casinos in Vegas, I suspect XD)

@Pokari True, but we're not here expecting literature, right? I'm just along for the ride haha

 

[Pokari]

@TehSDragon: Oh yeah, no, this was totally expected. This was not so much heartfelt criticism as myself being far too amused.

_{Upon reflection, perhaps mostly because we have such an "look, look, isn't he so hardcore!"-style protagonist against the backdrop of such a preciously juvenile concept of what "winning big" at a casino would look like. In the author's defense, I think Korea has no casinos, and so also maybe "The House always wins" isn't something ingrained into folks by their peers.}

@Pokari They do have casinos, but Koreans are basically not allowed to gamble, so... yeah, pretty much the same thing. I think there's like only 1 legal casino in Korea? Something like that. 5 minutes of Googling isn't really in-depth research, but that's what I got.
