I'm not the type of person who gets embarrassed easily. I don't stutter, I don't blush. I just game, and I take gaming seriously. I'm not embarrassed to be a gamer at all. Never have been, and never will be. But like every gamer I have stories of that went down that made me feel like a complete jackass for supporting this hobby of ours. It's all just a big game, and in any game there's a blooper reel. I remember this occasion when I played in Macau. I played almost every night and all night thru to next morning. I must have busted a month’s salary at least, probably more, I was afraid to count. All the while, I expected something to be comped off from my hotel tab. Imagine my surprise when I was presented with the bill and there was not a single dollar comped off! Not a single dollar. I was like: How the hell does this happen to me!I demanded to see the duty manager who in turn put me on to my casino host, and she came cantering around to where I was raising a little storm, but to no avail. NOTHING moves in Macau like it does in Vegas and I had gotten a measly 60 points as reward for 6 nights of playing, lol. I was so embarrassed that I vowed I would never go and stay back in MGM again ever. My friends who have visited Macau have similar stories to tell from other places they have stayed in as well.
No matter how much you play, it is funny that in Macau they don’t comp you off like they do in Vegas – which is a fact not well known unless you’ve played at both places.
Reality sucks sometimes.
