Casino visit..

Unlike in KL, we need to be 21 years old for us to visit the casino and there is only one and that is the GENTING casino. Here in Australia i finally manage to get into one and have a look myself. Their legal age is just 18 years old. FINALLY...

After sending my application on a new application on my accomodation, Choon Yauw finally decided to pay Crown a visit. Crown is basically the only casino i know that existed in Melbourne for the time being.

The place look normal from outside. Without the big "casino-like signboard", I think I will jus take is as another normal looking building with hotel as well as shopping centre in it. It was the scene i took as soon as i got down from the tram.






Beside that, we can view the sea from outside the crown. Such magnificent view of the sea from the place.








The view of Yarra river that is just beside Crown. It is link to the sea. Maybe some day i will have to take a stroll down the river at night.







Justin Wan walking into the casino as I and Choon Yauw following from behind. There is another person too but somehow he is not with us at the moment.








This picture is blur. Choon Yauw ask me better not to take picture in the casino and i was in a rush to take one before i keep my phone. Basically we were walking down the slot machines.
According to Choon Yauw, this casino was normal compare to Genting's one. To me it is my first experience. There are quite a number of people around. Mostly asians. We all went straight to poker area as Justin was planning to have a go there. We made quite a scene by walking around those poker tables and spectate the games. Somwhow those players got irritated as most of them eyed on us suspiciously and afraid that we might be helping other players from their back.
Finally, Justin and Kenneth decide to play Baccarat. Poker sure need a large sum of money as a start. Me and Choon Yauw will be standing at a side looking at them. To me, i do not gamble with my parents money. Maybe some other day when i earn my own money then i will have a try.
It was exciting to see Kenneth play Baccarat. He was lucky today. From Aud100, ha manage to win back Aud250+. It just took him half an hour to do so. Both of them only played for awhile as Kenneth suddenly felt not right and decide to stop. Well, he just want the fun out of it instead of trying to win the casino money. Maybe that is a very good attitude to be in a casino.
It was indeed quite an experience for me to have alook inside. Well, manage to visit quite a number of place before I start my classes next week.
