She excitedly went on stage to receive her prize, getting a thick stack of bills. To show the large amount, Hardy had the prize given in $10 bills. The casino arranged for photos to be taken, and this photo would later be posted on the winners board.
Hardy instructed Irina beside him, "Have someone take more photos and get the girl's details. Have a journalist write a nice article about it and publish it in tomorrow's paper. Also, have an ABC News report on it."
The story of an ordinary girl winning thousands at the Hardy Hotel for just $2 would surely attract more people to visit and gamble.
The girl winning a big prize heightened the excitement of the gamblers, prompting many to place bets. Those who placed bets would not leave the casino for at least two hours, as they saw it as a chance to get rich overnight.
This small trick could retain a large number of gamblers.
