This would be one hell of a post. Let me see if I can clear your doubt with just one sentence.
I had finally entered the casino for the very first time.Yeap. You heard it right. My gambling virginity was given to the Casino in Genting. I wore "Tor Haii" which originally it was white in color which then turns to gray/whatever colour you'll see later. Not pretty.
You see, I've always watched too much of Hollywood movies and Hong Kong movies where you have to dress to kill to enter casino while placing a minimum of 10 grand for a bet. HAHAHA. *Insert laughing/crying emoticon* Who am I kidding like really.. The look of the casino was quite grand. The whole atmosphere was so different. The place was filled with the smell of smoke because people are allowed to smoke inside. I see people from all over the world. China(mostly), Bangladeshi(a handful) and lastly, local people. From young adults whom jump from table to table of different gambling games to elderly people in wheelchair playing the slot machines was quite a new view for me. A whole new experience.
As usual, anything that concerns money, I'm quite careful. I don't gamble on something that I don't know. It began with me wondering around the places and started to understand the game by watching strangers playing. I got hooked with "Dai Sai"/ "Sic Bo"or Hazard or something similar to Chuck-A-Luck.
I wasn't great at maths but simple probability hunch would be useful. For example, for the past three out of four rounds, the dice resulted in SMALL, there is a higher probability of the next round opening SMALL. Anyhow all of this is really subjective and usually people played according to their "Feeling"
Finally, I went over a table which attracted me.
You can change your cash into tokens at the game table and there is a cashier for people to cash out their tokens into ringgits
I of course was no exception to betting but I played the minimum bet. It's more like winning, losing, winning, losing, losing, winning, winning, losing, losing, winning, winning, losing, losing, losing, losing, losing. Something like that. It went for about quite some time as I did not place my bet for every round. It's more testing the water. Guessing for the next round of results without placing any bets. But the amount of self control needed was tremendous. I almost fell into the- going to place more bets than I have allocated to spend.
It is inevitable to feel that your heartbeat accelerating, red flushes of the face, secretly chanting for the results you bet on, saying "Popi popi" and etc. Winnings made me feel smug while losing made me agitated. It is an extremely valuable lesson that I will not forget the rest of my life. I can proudly said that I've tick off the list of to do in life.
It's best not to enter the casino again because I can see that the temptation is really really great. Anybody can be a gambling addict. It is exhilarating. Winning and losing money through gambling within 2 mins. I did see someone buying RM500 on BIG and lost that round. It was like a drop-jaw-moment for me.
There's a lot of CCTV cameras around and thus I don't dare to take pictures in the casino. Please bear with me.
