Sadden By Discrimination

It was a beautiful Saturday morning, the sun was up, the birds were chirping (haha don't think I even saw a bird that day) but it was a sunny morning. My boyfriend and I decided to make a trip to Genthing Highlands. So we frove up there just the two of us. As we reached, parking was hard to get as it was a school holiday, on top of that it was also a weekend. But we manage to get parking after going round in circles.

The day was chilly and we head inside to 'make some money :o)' We walked about trying to scan the scene to see which will be our lucky table. I only gambled once before this and this was going to be my 2nd one! So I didnt want to rush into anything and loose my money. We walked about for a good half an hour before I sat down at Mini Dice. I manage to pick up the game as I had no idea what / how to play the game. Almost clueless but I observed the game before I tried my hand in making some money. Made some money, I told myself its time to leave a happy women!! hahaha

We walked about more just to see all the different tables that were opened that day. I came across some strange gambling tables. Just to name you a few, Pontoon, Three Picture and Three Card Poker and many more. To some these are the normal gambling tables but I has no clue what these were. All sounded alien to me! So I was on a mission to find out what these games were. There was an information counter there and I was ditermined to find out how to play these games so I could try my luck. I went to the counter and there was this Chinese lady standing behind the counter and explaining to a couple. There were brochures there on the table and I picked it up to read up on the games there. There were sample cards explaining the game too. I decided to briefly ask her on the samples that were shown on the table. To my surprise, the lady looked at me and smiled and completely ignored my question. Thinking she may have not heard my question, I repeated the question. This time, she completley ignored me and continued speaking to the other couple that was there. I was pissed as hell and decided to walk way! Now not only I had no clue what these weird games were, I was disciminated by the Customer Service personel!!! I think this is very bad reputation for the reputation of Genthing Highlands. Known for its world class Casino, I think they should put in more resources in hiring someone that speaks English and not only Chinese as it says CUSTOMER SERVICE !!!!
