Recently I went up to Genting Highlands & was walking around when I found about M$1,300 just sitting in a machine with no player's card/bottle/ any sign of reservation by anyone. Sat & waited for the owner to turn up for about 10 mins, but there was no one, so I decided it was the casino's money & decided to play with it instead of with my own until they lay claim to it.
Together with the M$150 or so already in my card, I chose a DFDC machine & tried my luck.
This was the result:
i.e was down M$110 before going back up a measly M$9.
As expected, they approached me shortly after & told me of the 'mistake' & of course, I paid them back the amount I found without any protest & just claimed that I was too focused on play & thought I had struck a prize but joked that I found it strange there was no jingle!
I stayed a comped night in FW Hotel & at 5am I woke up with an urge to prowl the casino floors again.
After walking around & soaking up the atmosphere till 7am, when I knew I had to go to catch my transport, I decided to swing by one final round & something drew me to a very new 3D type machine at a corner.
I saw 32,000 credits inside, again with no players' card or any indication it was occupied! I almost alerted an attendant about the 'found' money, approaching her within a metre from her back when I stopped & thought : 'Hey! They took back over 1k that I was the finder of yesterday! Isn't the rule finders keepers?'
So I went back to the machine, refused to put in my card & played several large bet presses of 80 - 180 credits. Two rounds of FG & the balance went up to 34,000 credits or more...I must say the effects were incredible as the chair vibrated & the animations were fantastic!
Then I pressed my luck & the inevitable happened, with the house edge whittling the balance to 26,000 credits. At which point I stopped & pressed 'Cash Out' & the machine called for a handpay.
From that moment, from when I alerted an attendant & he asked me quizzically why my card was not in the machine, & I explained my card had malfunctioned, through his signing a chit for the amount(M$500+) to when I walked to the cashier & got the banknotes counted out & handed to me, I half expected to be denied the cash.
Happily, they detected nothing & I walked away with my biggest haul from Genting Highlands, better than the time I turned M$860 to M$1,398 in my FIRST visit in the 1st half of 2017:
Lately, I accumulated 1,800 shares of Genting Bhd after they plunged on triple whammies of higher taxation for '19, Disney's cancellation of the theme park & losses in quarterly results.
