Happy New Year everyone !
:p
I spent the new year away in HK with my mom - just for a change this year - got back on the 1st night/2nd early morning of the new year due to the 'lousy late timing' of the HK Air return flight (got 'wrong info' from the Travel Agent here :(
)
Next time shall stick to Cathay or SQ
My secretary 'invited' me to join them on their 3rd Day MBS Venture (Office still closed for CNY on 3rd Day)
So I was down at MBS by 11.20am - only ONE or TWO of the Levy Machines were working for the Side BI Entrance so it was already 11.40am+ by the time I entered the casino
Started off playing the Wheel of Fortune as everywhere was crowded
Not too bad - Initial Good Start as usual ... managed to make over $200+ within 1st 20 minutes or so and only stopped when they arrived
One of them wanted a Non-Smoking Floor so we went up after they got New Membership Cards replaced
Dispersed and I played a 5D slot but simply lost $$ - somehow I just can't win playing at the top floor ....
AND the MBS Slots have REALLY been TIGHTENED Real Badly too - NOT so much thrill playing the slots as extremely difficult to get the Free Games etc ....
So went back down to the smokey B1 and played a 5cts 50 Lions
Only stopped when my friend SMSed me for our 3.30pm Tea Appointment
Withdrew fresh playing capital after Tea/Late Lunch
No free fav machine so saw this unoccupied unpopular Dragon Gate slot
Had to coax it quite long before it started to behave and pay out
At one point in time - managed to even BREAK EVEN !!!!
Went back to Wheel of Fortune
Got the RED once and Green etc several times
My fav Diamonds & Roses slots were also NOT paying me THIS time round !
However when I was over at the nearby standalone 5K slot (also VERY lousy this time round), I heard Free Games being awarded to the other players
Guess it's a case of Wrong Time Wrong Place etc ......
On Thurs morning (when there was less people around) I played the Outside Fatt Choi Express 100 Lions & 5K slots
Managed to recover some lost capital from the central 5K slot - several fast hundred dollars - until it turned cold
Then went to Kia's fav 5cts 5D (1109?) quite nearby and made another FAST $600-700 here
So yesterday morning I managed to lessen my Losses somewhat by some $1.2k but still lost some 1.5k in all :o
Hmmm .... feel like having a 2nd Try at those 'paying' machines
I did my Usual MBS NiteOver and only exited to go home half an hour before the 24-hour levy expired {had an afternoon appointment !}
Hope to be able to do a CNY RWS Casino visit soon
- don't think the weekend lo-hei lunch day will be a good day with the crowds
- most likely do an After-Work Visit ?
