When Yang Jianxin explained that he was carrying 1.4 million pesos in cash when he was arrested, it became even more absurd when he claimed that 1 million of it was won from the slot machines at Okada Manila a few days earlier.
People who win money from slot machines are only seen in movies.
During the press conference, many friends said that Tony Yang (Michael Yang's brother) is really a slot machine gambling god.
A friend at the casino a few days ago also pointed out, here are his exact words: "Tony Yang is really the Okada slot machine gambling god, and this is no joke. Many people often see him playing slot machines at Okada."
It is said that one day he alone won two or three "Golden Rooster Announcing Happiness" slot machine second prizes, each prize ranging from 5 million to over 10 million pesos, not fixed. His brother previously opened a VIP lounge called "Xiongwei" at Okada, which was renamed "Villa Lounge" after Michael Yang got into trouble and there was a run on the bank, but eventually, all deposits were paid out in full.
Winning a slot machine is a game of chance and fate. At least 10 Chinese gamblers at Solaire have won top prizes ranging from tens of millions to one hundred million pesos. These are real people I know, some of whom have won a hundred million by inserting just 1000 pesos.
However, there are also people who have played slot machines for years, lost tens or hundreds of millions of pesos, and never won a first or second prize. The secrets of these big players are hard for ordinary people to know, only rumors say they are deeply involved with Area 3. Okada's Villa Lounge, formerly known as Xiongwei Lounge, is definitely closely linked to Area 3. There were rumors that the real owner of Xiongwei Lounge was Michael Yang, perhaps a major shareholder or one of the shareholders.
It seems that what Yang Jianxin said was true, that 1 million pesos was indeed won at the Okada casino!
