Appreciation Journal : 23rd Jun - 4th Jul 2019
Today & for past three days, I have been & am exulting & luxuriating in the great blessing of having two free room nights in Genting Highlands gifted to me by a not-so-close friend, during which I DARED to venture into the two casinos from which I was nominally banned, taking at least one good video while in them.
To top it off, today I found $29.60 left in a machine on the second floor but virtually gave up hope of getting my hands on this found money when the attendant asked for my identification.
Later as I was passing one newer machine near the edge of the casino's first floor, I noticed $1.25 left on it by the previous gamer. Since it was conveniently set to five cents per spin, I decided to just play the last 25 spins until the $1.25 was used up, having already given up on the found money earlier on upstairs. Lo & behold, the balance dropped to around fifty cents before a bonus of six free games was triggered: to my delight, two big wins brought the original $1.25 up to over $75!
I changed the denom to 3X 5 cents & 2 lines but there was no immediate reward. When the balance had fallen to around $55 and after I had opted for 2X5 cents, another series of free games was triggered by three star symbols & a vault symbol in the middle.
This set of six games was just as rewarding, bringing the tally up to over $120, this in under eight minutes! No way was I giving up this win, not without a fight! So instinctively, I reversed the seat & put my jacket over the back to indicate the machine was taken & marched off to find the two friends I had travelled by van with two days prior.
At first I foolishly went to their room, not remembering exactly one of the digits in the number. After a slight delay, I returned to my room & dialled their room number via intercom. To my relief, one of them answered & agreed immediately to my request to use her card to help me retrieve the unexpected harvest. Within ten minutes I spotted her walking towards the casino from the lift lobby & she accompanied me to the casino. After we entered, I led her to the general area that I remembered I was playing at. After a few confused seconds, I found the reversed seat & soon, she had transferred the money into her card swiftly. Next I requested that she accompany me upstairs to attempt to retrieved the $29.60 I had found using her identification instead of mine.
After some resistance by the section manager(?), she reluctantly allowed my 'auntie' to cash the money that I had already alerted them to earlier, which they had taken out with a white card.
Hence, I managed to cover nearly all my travel & food expenses for the trip, save about $5.40.
However, my objective of spending $120 in shareholder vouchers($40 spent on a dinner treat for my two friends) was achieved despite some dithering & refusals from the new Laughing Fish eatery on a rather lame basis(dissimilar serial numbers). In that earlier instance yesterday, I stubbornly stood my ground & they gave in after two initial refusals to honour one of my vouchers!
How great is that??? And how LUCKY I am !!!
