Descrição do livro
The sharp-dressed husband and wife worked as a team to reconstruct the skyline of Manhattan in casino chips on the roulette table in Las Vegas. The admiring mob erupted in communal celebration as the number twenty hit three times in less than ten minutes. The number twenty was covered by a stack of chips that looked like the Empire State Building. Many other numbers hit in the center of the table, where the chips were stacked so deeply that the casino staff had to work as a team to determine the value of the next payout. At the appropriate time, the husband ordered his first shot of whiskey to fortify him for the next order of business – shoveling chips into empty racks that his wife would begin to ferry to the cashier’s cage. It was clear to me and also clear to the hundreds now straining to catch a glimpse of the man, the woman, and the mountain of chips on the table – that when you’re hot, you’re hot. As the winnings continued to pile up in front of the man, another shot of whiskey arrived, and his wife embarked on another run to the cage – the security guard in tow. The markers had been redeemed on the first run. The remaining trips were pure profit and had to be completed quickly, as quickly as the newly won chips were piling up. Then it happened. The run was over as soon as the obscure and uncovered number hit. Not sure if it was a zero or a double zero, a thirty-six or a one, or some other uncharted spot on the map. The man and the woman were gone now, headed to the cage together this time – the final trip for now at least. The audience stood in amazement and disbelief for about ten minutes reliving the three hits on the number twenty, and all the other numbers that required so many trips to the cage. A few meager bets were placed. Each spectator felt that somehow their interest and involvement had made a difference. They would not have missed this for the world. Then the crowd disbanded into the Las Vegas sunset, with the memory of what they had seen etched permanently in their psyches.
