Nucky laughed heartily, "That's right!"
One by one, the beauty contestants made their appearance, and when the first round ended, three hours had already passed.
But during these three hours, no one felt bored; each beauty contestant's arrival created quite a stir on site.
It was also during this time that Bruce found Donnie and whispered something in his ear.
After Bruce left, Nucky gave Donnie an inquiring look.
Donnie smiled and said, "Bruce and his team have already tallied the preliminary peripheral statistics!"
Excitement instantly washed over Nucky's face. Although the sale of the flowers at the venue had already brought in $44,800, and it seemed like they had earned quite a bit, both Donnie and Nucky understood that the big money tonight came from the peripheral income.
"Until the beginning of the competition, a total of 48,672 bets were placed throughout Atlantic City, amounting to $579,885 in wagers, with an expected revenue of about $100,000!"
