In my country, we have the only casino at Genting Highlands. Many of my friends like to spend their weekend to Genting Highlands for gambling and get a short stay at the resort there. I went to this casino before, but I am not so into gambling. I played some games there, but I lose my money. For me I do not want to visit the casino again. I do not want my hard earn money pour on this place.
Last year, when I was in Melbourne, my friends brought me to the casino. I played with the slot machine and I lose my money again. My friends played Roulette and lose lots of money.
I bet I will not visit the casino again.
How about you? Do you have any bad experience in the casino? Or you have won lots of money there?

Hello Celine,
Thanks for your response. Genting is the only place we get casino in our country. So everyday there are many local and tourist visit casino at Genting Highlands. I every one win a bit by bit, the casino will go bankrap real soon, LOL.
For you, you are such a lucky girl. You won RM70 with only RM10? As long as you earn something, you are consider lucky. They are many people addict to gamble at the casino and loose so much money. Please I hope people go wisely before they gamble. Why they want to waste the hard earn money on the table.

Yes, I like gambling in casino, very bad huh? :P I also enjoy watching ppl playing on tables. So far, I have those winning luck playing on games on table. I hate those machines which like no end you keep putting in chips and don't know when you going to hit the Jackpot. Big table always have fast winning. But really need to control when you are in casino. The more you winning, the more you want to put on bet.
So far my playing experience was, set a limit of money you want to play, finish or lose the money thats it, leave the place. If you win, keep the winning chips/money first. This is a better way to control your money. Else, you keep holding all the chips and you don't know how much you have win actually as you keep on betting.
I went to 4 casino before. Casino de Genting Highlands, First World hotel's casino, casino at Venetian Macau and Grand Lisboa casino in Macau. Macau is the city of casino, every corner and end you can easily find a casino. The Venetian one is very grand and big.
Anyway play a lot in real money is not good, better still stick back to FB's poker. haha

Going gamble can be a very bad addiction. I agree with you, we must set a target and control ourselves. Once I have lose the money, better stop playing and leave the place. You must have luck in gamble, best of luck to you Lemonjude.

I walk inside a casino, couldn't play because I had my daughter with me and she wasn't old enough so we waited outside for my friend to get done. I don't think that I would have liked it anyway because like you I don't like wasting my money like that. I work to hard for the little bit I get. Evernow and then I will play a pickle ticket and every now and then I win. That's good enough for me.

I have gone to casinos, mostly in las vegas. I am not a gambler. And casino owners hate me. I tend to put a quarter into a slot machine and if nothing comes back, I quit! Just not entertaining to me. I have lots of friends and family who love it and have fun, so we take trips every few years or more often to do that. But I just prefer to watch and not gamble much!

I enjoy going to casinos and playing poker. In fact, my ex-husband is a poker dealer. He and his new wife go to casinos several times a week. There have been times when they lost their mortgage money. As for me, I don't go very often because I don't have that kind of money to throw away. My budget is very tight and every penny counts. I'm just as happy playing free poker on the Internet.

lol. One do not have to go to casino to lose money. I first lost my money (quite a fair bit) on jackpot machines at a local clubhouse. Then it is the lottery. These are the places I lost more than at casinos. The only casino I ever went was when I was onboard a cruiseship.

As a Christian, the Bible says that we should not try to earn something for nothing. In short, we shouldn't gamble to earn money. So I have never gambled in my life. I hope to keep it that way.
You likely understand why the Bible says to not gamble, because you lost all your money. Here's the really crazy thing... there are people who can lose their money at the casino, and amazingly enjoy it. I personally can't imagine how losing tons of money can be fun, but there are people who get enjoyment from being broke.
You are wiser than they. I have yet to meet a single person anywhere who thought their life was so much better because they went gambling, and many who ruined their lives due to gambling. Keep your hard earned money in your pocket, and stay away from those places.

I agree with you whole heartedly. There's a reason Scripture says to earn a living by the sweat of the brow. Doesn't mean you have to dig ditches, etc. Just work for it. Too many children live in poverty because their parent(s) gamble. But as I said earlier "to each his own".

I have gambled on cruises but soon found out that I cannot walk away with a win because before the cruise is over, I have lost all and more than I won. Also, I was taught "that a bird in a hand is better than a two birds in a bush". I know it's fun but that kinda fun costs me too much money. To each his own.

Genting Highland Casino is making tonnes of money. It is good income for our country.
Casinos is operated to make money not to pay out money.
They have calculated formula of chance...
therefore most of the time they win. If the player is very lucky that day,
if they continue winning, you will noticed they will change the officer / cards' dealer. The player will get tired but the cards dealer is a different person now with better aura and chances of winning back.
They have CCTV installed at the casino to observe closely. They have experts to analyse the game...they know how to deal with professional players too. Some people do win but loser are even more. The slot machine also is technically adjusted...
You will win, but at the long run you will give back to them...lol
Most casinos was designed incorporating "feng shui" too, to maximised winning.
More casinos is coming up, next on the list is 2 more casinos in Singapore.
Dont gamble, do more myLotting...all the best!

Iriene, thank you for sharing all priceless information here. Yes, I agree with you, we hardly win from the casino, in fact, the loser are a lot. The casino get so many officers and worker to work for them, How could they survive if keep paying out. Only a little amount of lucky people could won money from casinos, and they consider really best of lucks. So have you try any of your luck before in Genting Highlands Casino?

katty2009, sorry to hear about that. Maybe you can give some advise or try to talk to them. They might be boring with the living life they have, so they just wish to get some fun at the casino. Or they have addicted at the casino. try to sort things out and tell them money easy to go at the casino tables. I hope you and your family can help your parents over come this situation. Best of luck to you. Happy mylotting.

I have been to casinos a few times. My first experience was about 14 months ago, I went to Lake Tahoe with my boyfriend and I had a good time, I ended up being about $20 ahead, I did well at blackjack and roulette. Next time was about 4 months later and I went to Reno with a friend, came about even and didn't have a good time :(. Last time was about 5 months ago, I went with my family to a local indian casino, I lost about $100 so it wasn't that fun.

Hello vingyan06!
I have been to many casinos already. I do not really spend that much when it comes to gambling. Sometimes, I just go to accompany my grandmother and my aunts. Sometimes, I just go to somehow unwind. But I do not spend a great deal of money. I have won several times in the slot machine already. I do not play much card games though.

Hi, Playing online casino is a good way too, no need to travel around. But do you need to pay for playing that? I sometimes play poker at facebook. It is much more fun.

Hi busky, nice to see you here again. Yeah, beside casino, there are many more interesting place at Genting Highlands. Once in a while I would like to go to the amusements park too. So far, I had never watch any show at Genting. But of course there is always a nice place for locals and tourist to come over for vacation.

i did once play in a casino from one of our out of town trips. I just tried it for fun coz i know addiction to playing is very common and you end up losing all your earnings. I really am not sure how to play also so I end up losing some money but i can say at least i tried it once. hehe. They also get your cellphones in the entrance.
