One vice in the city is quite enough for me. Overwhelmed by the wide selection of games that we couldn't afford to play (the fun games, e.g. Baccarat requires a minimum bet of S$60 per game), we only tried the simple sic bo (min. S$20).
Watching men focusing hard on their cards like their lives depended on the outcome (which was probably true) and men fishing out HK$5000 (S$1000) chips one after another from their purses, I could fully understand how gambling causes people to lose their lives, families to break apart and the other tragedies. I had to restrain myself, with great difficulty, not to exchange for more chips to continue betting.
That night, after several wins and losses, we lost $50.
By next morning, we abandoned all restraint and decided to take revenge! And we lost another $50. Shiok!
P/s: Jackpot is the dumbest game.
