My casino experience
Sign of boredom, no one to take foto for me cos they are all in the casino... so I took my own foto thru a mirror..Heeheee
And of course a must have, photo with young waiter
Best dressed Uncle
Trying to sweet talk this guy into giving me extra photos that they took. 
3 times to Star Cruise Virgo but the first time setting foot into the casino. Thanks to my dear friend, Korean Gangster Auntie aka Dor Lim :)
She taught me well.. I actually won. With $50 to begin with, she taught me "War", the most brain dead card game, most suitable for a casino virgin like myself.
Between you and dealer, u each get a card and whoever get the bigger one wins. Simple right? Only complication is when u have a draw; then u are require to up your stake and take another challenge. Its $10 for each hand and after about an hour of up and down, see sawing with the dealer, I made $30. Could have made more if I stay on or could even have lost it all. But honestly, I find it most boring.... Yawn.... I really do not understand the thrill of it.
Take poker or the other game, (cannot remember the name, the one with pairs, flush etc.) You are dealt with the cards right away. Whatever they give u, that's the card. You cannot change it. For me, I would have just open it and look at it right away. But not for a gambler, they will peep, they will turn up the corner, slide cards between palm etc... they will take their time to see the card. I don't understand. Isn't it already set? No matter how you peep or how u rub the card, it is not going to change. Try telling that to them and they say I don't know how to appreciate the thrill.
Next is the jackpot. Gee the jackpot that I remember from Vegas was 777 or gold nuggets, with a handle bar to pull. No more. It's a lot more complicated this day. You no longer pull but press a button instead. And you don't just aim for the 3 7s or nuggets, your winning is now being determined in many different ways. U can play up to 20 lines, and there are hundreds of different winning combination.
I for once don't even know what i am doing but just happily press the play over and over again. Until Dor came around and told me that I was playing for double credits but with only 1 line. That means to say I am not utilising the full combinations. Duh! Luckily for her, the moment she changed my combo, I strike my big win. From a 200 credits, I just sat back and witness the increase to 900 credits. Wow... big win... only qualm is it was only 5cents per credit. So totally winning here, $78..Haahaaa Cheap Thrill.
