Wow! The casino! We have the one of the highest casino in the world. Check out "Resorts World, Malaysia" located in "Genting Highlands". With the highest & largest hotel too at 2700 feet above sea-level. So if your wife and you are coming to Asia, let me know. Gold card Member get to have buffet 24/7. Just bring your cash..food provided and so are the free 5 Star rooms.
All the member card are computerized and betting and winnings are paid into the card with ATM machines for cash withdrawal.
No more cha ching sounds but Star Wars music and other funny tunes when the free games feature is struck.
member Points can be used to purchase souvenirs, cigarettes, light meals, etc. Cashless! Until we run out of cash!
Good write and so breezy.
Cheerio, Ritchie.

Thanks Ritchie.
I'll have to add it to my Bucket list.

Bucket list? Well, remember to bring the big bucket for the million dollar bucket.
Cheerio, Ritchie.
Comment from garrymc5
I am a bit shocked. A $100 a day is lot of money for me. To pour it into a machine takes my breath away. I love to create, so I paint, write and photograph in my retirement. I guess I am no man for any kind of machinery, mush less one that takes your money, and you have nothing to show for it. On the other hand I love to travel, and save up for my trip to Europe every two years. That costs a $100 a day, but I just love new towns, new geographies, all the heritage stuff, the different languages and cultures. So ' ka-ching ka-ching ' I thought was going to be in China!! Have you considered the thrill and excitement of traveling? perhaps leaving your 'comfort zone'?
I rave on. Critique? Can not criticise rhyming poetry. I find it hard to warm to that style. There are just so many other ways to express.

Comment from Rondeno
the lilt of this poem is highly attractive (mimicking the subject-matter), and the rhymes are flawless and never forced. It's a very polished little poem. Well done, my friend!

'Ka-ching.' What a way to let everyone know you gamble. I could never do that because I lose more than I can ever win. The Casino's are geared to get their hands deep into your pocket, but then you would know that yourself. Well done.

Comment from Joannforsberg
I agree, it can be cheaper to go to a casino and play a few rounds. Especially because there is no better people watching place than a casino. We do not have any in our area. Would be over a two hour drive to go to one, so we just don't. But, the few times I have it was fun.
Well written, JO

Thanks Jo. It's a 1/2 hour drive for me, so not too bad.

I would love to read a poem written by you about people watching in a casino. I am sure you could come up with some great creative lines.
Hope this week treats you well, JO

I'll give that some thought.
Comment from sunnilicious
Well told story. We all love to win especially at a casino. Las Vegas is a trip to look forward to... It's cheaper than I thought too. You gotta try steak & eggs at midnight. You'll know exactly where... I'm excited for you. Win big with lady luck. Have fun. Take pictures.

Comment from Robin Gilmor
I like the sound you present in your verse. The word actually sounds and gives smiles as well as depth to your verse. Casinos have a pull all their own.
Happy to hear your wife and you enjoy it together. Your picture is a great addition and adds visual to your verse. Smiles. Robin :)

Comment from Phyllis Stewart
If the price of entertainment is worth it to you, go for it. You seem well aware that you lose as well as win, and you keep to a set budget. Good writing about the thrill of gambling... to each hs own. :)
