random question...

i am not interested, i was talking with some friends, do you guys think the girls at the casino are available for after hours services? i was thinking since they dont get tips, maybe they get paid well that way, in western places theycan make bank on tips, so what would the draw be here? or do they just get paid well?


Everyone has a price...

Not every girl is Asia is a possible hooker. Shocked

I teach some of the dealers from the 7 luck in my academy. They all have degrees and are working there because of the tip money. They are not hurting for money.

second time round, was told that food was for cash game players only. Walker hill is alone at the top of a hill and the restaurants there are HIDEOUSLY expensive, so if you go for the tourney, don't expect to eat from when you get there 2pm (for a 3pm start) till it finishes (assuming you do well, it can be after 10pm).



This is not true, players and non-players are entitled to free food. However if you wanted to order in advance, you'll have order it from the table. Why I know? Because I don't live too far from there, whenever I go to sit at the eating area the watiresses never failed to give out the menu. They LIED to you.

Yeah, free drinks and food for anyone who asks. Just go to the cafe at the back of the casino and sit down.

Also, tipping is pretty prevalent. I can't help but tip 1,000W when a beautiful waitress brings me a free drink.

Well, if the guy lied to me, that's just worse don't you think. ESPECIALLY as I was not a freeloader and had already given him 220K to play in the tourney. I change my stance from "the guy running the show seems like a douche" to "he is a douche".

Do the waitresses expect it? No. Do they appreciate it if you offer a tip? Yes.

Personally, I don't tip the waitresses. I do tip the dealers if I'm on a winning streak like I'd do at any other casino.

The casino at Coex is opening up a room?? Any more info on this?

I went to the Walker Hill room once, but it's just too far for me, living in Guro. These days I just play online. Also Walker Hill wasn't a great game, compared to the games I'm familiar with in Vegas. The rake is high, some of the dealers were unprofessional imo, and the level of play was higher than an average ssnl game in Nevada. I'm not sure if there's an "English only at the table" policy, but if so it wasn't enforced.


I used to play online a lot back home and I'm missing it. My friend tried to play here but got one of those internet warning things... so I just assumed it isn't possible here. How do you play? which site? Please tell me by PM if you don't want to divulge on here... or anyone else for that matter Very Happy thanks!
