The story

Civilian scientist Jason Eldridge runs the Magnetic Analyzer Computing Synchrotron (MACS), a vacuum tube computer aboard the United States Navy ship USS Elmira. He and his friend Lieutenant Ferguson Howard realize that by using MACS to record a roulette table's spins over time, the computer can predict future results. With Eldridge, Howard and Lieutenant Junior Grade Beauregard Gilliam check into a Venice casino's hotel dressed as civilians, defying Admiral Fitch's order that naval officers on shore avoid the casino and wear uniforms.
