In 2005, after the closure of the Mai ZhaYang Casino on the China-Myanmar border, the Moding Casino on the border of Laos in China quietly arrived!
If you can't afford to pay for it inside, in addition to being punched and kicked every day, you have to kneel down and be slapped by slippers. And for the first 12 days, there wasn't a single grain of rice in the stomach. Instead, it's fresh millet spicy, and there are a lot of people lining up to eat it every day!
What is even more excessive is that three pounds of millet spicy every day must be chewed in the mouth for 10 minutes before swallowing. If the pepper is found falling on the ground, first the slippers are served, and then they are picked up and eaten. If you swallow the pepper early, then sorry, the strong security personnel will directly beat you half to death!
But that's not all, if the previous requirements are all up to standard, and chew for more than 10 minutes. Finally, I had to spit all the boiling water into my stomach. And that's where gambling pays off!
However, it is this kind of place that is like purgatory, and many Chinese are scrambling to go every year. So why are they so "desperate"?
▲ Free tours are scams?
"I have a friend in Beijing, and we usually play together. He called me that day and he said there was a card player going to Laos and asked if I was going. No need to bring money, he manages the round-trip plane tickets, and after it is finished, he also manages to eat and live. ”
This is the real situation that Xiao Wang encountered in 2009. In fact, Xiao Wan couldn't believe at first that there would be a pie drop in the sky? However, seeing that the other party invited himself so graciously, Xiao Wang thought in his heart that he did not have to pay for it himself, and the other party was still his best friend, and he should not deceive himself.
So, Xiao Wang set off with the idea of an empty glove white wolf.
In fact, at that time, Xiao Wang still had some concerns in his heart, so he took another fellow countryman with him. Soon the two flew to Kunming with a ticket they had obtained out of thin air, and then transferred to Jinghong. The motorcycle waiting for them directly sent the two to the small town on the border between China and Laos.
According to the recollection of xiao wang, it was already two or three o'clock in the night when it came to Mohan. So the introducer did not go through any exit formalities for them on the grounds that it was too dark, but only arranged a motorcycle for the two of them, and then smuggled all the way in from the side of the path. At that time, I also thought that time is money, and I would get rich a day earlier if I went one day earlier.
However, after entering Laos, there is also a warning sign on the side of the road that reads "Chinese citizens are strictly prohibited from entering the gambling hall". This made Xiao Wang mutter in his heart.
And when they came to the casino nearby, they found that this so-called Laos Special Economic Zone was full of all kinds of improper shops, basically yellow gambling and drugs did not leak, Xiao Wang could not help but ask in his heart: Is this place really safe?
Although everyone had some doubts, after arriving at the casino. Xiao Wang and the others were arranged into a free star hotel, and looking at such a generous introducer, the anxiety in their hearts was quickly smoothed out. Maybe I am really the lucky one chosen by heaven!
Soon, as said before, Xiao Wang got the 100,000 chips he owed on credit. But he didn't know that he was stepping into the abyss of casino scams!
At first, Xiao Wang and his fellow villagers Old Li were still going well. The two won more than 50,000 yuan in just two hours. But they didn't expect that sitting across from them was the most powerful old man in the casino!
Neither of them had lost money in the previous few days until the fourth day. Xiao Wang and Lao Li both had several essences in their own pockets.
▲ Is there a "zoo" behind the casino?
And when the two lost, the original seemingly formal gambling city instantly changed from heaven to hell.
At first, people like Xiao Wang, who gambled and owed money, were still locked up in the hotel and called their families to ask for money. If, within five days, the family does not make up the arrears in time, then the gamblers will be sent to the "single room".
And this single room is roughly divided into three categories, the lightest of which is the "single room". Casino owners will hire security guards to urge you to ask your family and friends for money, basically every ten minutes, and even when you go to bed at night, there will be constant abuse. If you can't pay back the money within ten days, you will be sent to the "forced single room".
The so-called "forced single room", unlike the superior, the "single room" mainly exerts mental pressure on gamblers, while the means of "forcing a single room" increases the physical pressure.
Gamblers who do not pay their debts must survive on their knees, and if there are disobedients, the security personnel use violence directly. Punches and kicks, slippers in the face, if they don't get what they owe for a day, then the gambler will be beaten all over the body.
And what is more terrible than forcing a single room is a dead single room.
Because the victims in the "dead single room" are all people who really can't get money out of the family, and after a long time, this person will be incurable. They think that when you can't pull out a little money, you will be sent to the "dead single room".
Here, the security of the collection will make all the old ladies kneel on the ground and hold their heads with their hands. This kneeling was twelve hours, during which people kept slapping their faces with slippers. They are even asked to do highly insulting things, such as prostrating their heads and shouting at their fathers, self-harming and slapping each other, kicking each other one by one, and so on. Whenever they are found beating each other and releasing water, the person will be doubly beaten by the security guards.
Obviously, everyone is human, but they are treated as the lowest animals!
However, these are still commonplace in the "dead single room", and what is even more inhumane is that the security guards will force gamblers to eat peppers. And the pepper must also be chewed in the mouth for 10 minutes, and then drink it in boiling water.
It seems that this "gambling abstinence center" is really both inside and outside!
So what if a gambler is maimed or killed during this time?
In fact, no one who is maimed or killed inside will receive a good death. If the security personnel learn that you are dying, you will be sent to the "nursing room" to eat and sleep, and then you will be sent to the "forced single room" to cycle back and forth. If during this period, the hitters are too heavy and directly killed, they will be pulled to the back mountain and buried on the spot!
And most of these people were tricked by friends.
Among them, there are also women like Xia Jie, who said: "I just came here, I won 110,000 in half an hour, and when I was finished, I wanted to go back to my room to sleep, I didn't want to play." At that time, I thought of returning the borrowed code first, and then playing with the profits I had won. As a result, the other party said no, because the repayment date has not yet arrived, and if you win more in ten days, you can't hit the account. When the time comes to lose, you have to take the money yourself to settle the account. ”
But then I heard that the people who lived in the same house had lost money and had to gamble again. At this point, even Sister Xia, who had been in the casino for a long time, could not hold back. Sure enough, when I walked into the casino again, all the money was lost.
After that, Sister Xia also stayed in the single room trembling for ten days. Fortunately, the family immediately reported to the police after receiving the news, and Sister Xia was taken away by the local security bureau.
But she never thought that the security bureau in Laos was actually the next "forced single room"!
It turned out that the casino had also bought the local sheriff's office. Anyone who escapes from the casino will be locked up inside. If you don't pay a dozen or two hundred thousand, you can't leave.
Fortunately, 2 months later, the state negotiated with the Lao side through diplomatic channels, which allowed Sister Xia to return to China safely, recalling that scene, Sister Xia is still moved.
But Xiao Wang and Lao Li were not so lucky. Xiao Wang was his family who put together the money little by little, and divided the money several times before redeeming the people back. As for Lao Li, he was beaten to the point of heart attack and transferred to the "nursing room". Then, when the guards were not prepared, they escaped death.
Maybe from the moment they enter the "single room", they don't want to gamble anymore,
Although the three of them managed to escape the clutches of the devil, every time they think of that memory, it is always frightening. Among them, the most memorable thing about Xia Jie is the roommate who lives with her.
"A man named Luo Jie in Hunan, he owes money to people. Her fingernails were all pulled alive by the security guards with vise! When you're done, you have to lay your hands flat and nail them into the bones. At that time, the tip of the nail with blood could still be seen on the other side of her palm, and as long as the finger moved slightly, it would hurt a lot, and she would have to keep it in this state for several days. Only by seeing your performance well can we pull the nails off for you. ”
In fact, those security guards are thugs hired by the casino, and as long as they can pay for it, there will be bonuses. And most of these people are addicts, if you start to beat people will only get more and more excited, do not feel tired at all.
It's really hard to imagine that the people who can come out of there have all experienced nine deaths.
Fortunately, in December 2011, the Chinese and Lao police jointly launched an investigation into the Golden City, arresting 74 casino shareholders and employees, and the state has never given up the crackdown in the face of criminal and evil forces. But we should also reflect that if the nature of bad gambling is rampant, if it were not for the greed for small profits, such a tragedy might not have happened at all!
