But at around 10 p.m. a huge flash of lightning streaked across the sky. Amid the rolling thunder, the casino hall suddenly went dark.
There was a power outage.
"Ah~~!"
Screams from women echoed in the casino hall.
Nobody knew what had happened.
The staff quickly brought flashlights, providing a temporary glimmer of light in the hall, but people were starting to get impatient.
Sigel was anxious and shouted, "Send someone to check immediately to see what's wrong, hurry!"
The staff braved the rain to check and they found that the transformer had malfunctioned. Sigel urgently arranged for repairs and had candles lit in the casino for lighting.
With only candles, it was impossible to continue playing. Some guests, growing impatient, left the casino and returned to their hotel rooms. It was winter, with temperatures around four or five degrees Celsius, and with the rain and no air conditioning, the rooms felt cold and damp.
