Seeing that John had nothing more to say to him, Dick Hoblatt left John's office.
"Mr. Walker, it's getting late, and perhaps it's ti for you to have dinner. This place is always here, and you can co and play anyti you want!"
Dick Hoblatt stood beside Walker, smiling as he reminded him.
Walker's face didn't show the dejection of losing money, nor the madness of a professional gambler. Upon hearing Dick Hoblatt's reminder, he got up smilingly, took a 10 US Dollar chip and tossed it to Dick Hoblatt.
He left the private room with his arm around a lady.
"Mr. Walker, if you don't have a better dining option, I can recomnd the restaurant right next to Block Tavern. Their tuna will definitely make your taste buds bloom!"
Dick Hoblatt introduced the dining spot to Walker.
Walker smiled, "Then let's give it a try!"
"What? Aren't you coming in?" After they arrived at the restaurant and Walker saw that Dick Hoblatt was only talking to the waiter at the door, about to leave, he asked.
"This is Mr. Walker's dinner; I wouldn't want to intrude."
By this ti, Walker had already taken a keen interest in the West District, laughing, "No problem, I'd really like to learn more about the West District and Atlantic City from you!"
"It's my honor!" Dick Hoblatt didn't refuse.
The three of them sat in the restaurant, and Walker asked Dick Hoblatt, "I've played at other casinos, and you're the first to actively advise to stop. Won't this make the owner of Block Tavern unhappy?"
Dick Hoblatt replied, "Of course not, Mr. Block has told us that providing the most pleasurable experiences for our guests is our responsibility.
Since you weren't having good luck today, Mr. Walker, there was no reason to continue, and about this, boss John would only praise , not bla !"
Walker quickly understood the logic: "So, after being well served, I will definitely reappear at Block Tavern!"
Dick Hoblatt said, "We don't deny that!"
"Interesting, really interesting!" Walker tapped the table lightly, not minding the strange looks from the other patrons.
"Oh, I have another question for you!"
"Please ask, Mr. Walker!"
"The Miss Arica pageant is starting soon, and I'd like to be at the event. Is there any way you can help?"
Walker inquired.
The thing about the Miss Arica pageant, in fact, under the operation of Starry Entertainnt, everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion.
Later this month, the preliminary rounds will take place, and the venue is on the Atlantic City boardwalk, at the location forrly known as The Fuli Tavern but now renad Block Tavern.
According to the rules published by the pageant committee, the occasion will invite the high society of Atlantic City to Block Tavern and decide the finalists by presenting flowers to the contestants on the day of the event.
While not everyone in Atlantic City can witness the occasion, Starry Entertainnt has already invited reporters from the "Atlantic City Post" to photograph the event and report the pageant process in full the next day.
But no matter what, getting into Block Tavern on that day would not be easy.
Dick Hoblatt's eyes lit up, realizing this could be a big deal.
He imdiately smiled, "Of course, Mr. Bruck has said that Block Tavern wouldn't disappoint any guest, but this Miss Arica pageant has indeed beco a grand occasion in our Atlantic City, and every resident wants to get in.
Luckily, I have a ticket in my hands, but this ticket..."
Walker, with a knowing look, asked, "So, how much?"
"1,000 US dollars!" Dick Hoblatt replied.
For a 1,000 US dollar ticket, Dick Hoblatt could get a 50 US dollar commission.
"Wow!" Walker whistled and laughed, "That's quite a sum, but it's no big deal to !"
"Of course!" replied Dick Hoblatt.
"When can I get this ticket?" Walker asked directly.
"Anyti!" Dick Hoblatt answered.
"Bring it to my hotel tomorrow morning!" Walker said decisively.
"Sure!" Dick Hoblatt nodded, "Mr. Walker, to better involve everyone in the beauty pageant, Mr. Donnie Block has specifically prepared a prize quiz ga for this event. You only need to spend 5 cents to buy information about the Miss Arica contestants competing this ti from any newsstand in Atlantic City.
Then you can place your bet on the lady you think can win at any tavern or casino in Atlantic City, and if your choice turns out to be correct, you will receive varying degrees of cash rewards!"
Walker whistled again and laughed, "This Donnie Block really is a genius. He wants to make sure everyone who cos to Atlantic City doesn't leave until they've emptied their wallets!"
Smiling, Dick Hoblatt responded, "Mr. Donnie Block just wants every visitor to Atlantic City to feel like God!"
All of a sudden, Walker laughed, "Could I et Mr. Donnie Block in person?"
Facing Walker who always wore a smile, Dick Hoblatt's expression changed slightly, but he still smiled and said imdiately.
"I'd be very happy to arrange this eting, but, I'm sorry Mr. Walker, it's not a decision I can make. I will have to report back to Mr. Donnie Block and then give you a definite answer!"
"Of course!"
Walker wasn't bothered by this at all.
"I will give you the answer when I deliver the ticket to you tomorrow!" Dick Hoblatt said.
After dinner ended, Walker went back to the Ritz Hotel with his lady, and after leaving the hotel, Dick Hoblatt went straight to Block Tavern and found John to tell him about Walker's request.
John was slightly taken aback when he heard Walker wanted to et Donnie and then asked, "What does this man do?"
Dick Hoblatt shook his head, "I don't know. He's very generous, seems like so rich playboy, and this person is also very mysterious, only gave his first na, without ntioning his surna!"
John thought for a mont and said, "Since Donnie said to show our friendship to our esteed guests, I will talk to Donnie about this. As for whether he agrees to et, that's up to Donnie to decide!"
"Yes!"
.
"et, why not?"
After learning about this, Donnie did not refuse, now that his business was running smoothly. At this point, Donnie also wanted to expand his business beyond Atlantic City, and if this Walker truly was a person of influence, eting him would certainly be no harm!
"Shall I have Dick inform him?"
"Yes!"
