Do You Gamble?





You may think the title is metaphorical. No it isn't. Literally speaking, do you gamble?

I do. But for the love of God, I don't use my own money, hahaha. Yes it is fun. Fun and scary as well. Fun because I get to go and try my luck with the money my mom or my dad handed over to see me just lose it all. Scary because I might get addicted (which in fact I am).

Anyway, let me describe my favorite hang-out. The name is Fiesta Casinos. It is a part of Thunderbird Resorts and I looovve it here. I would sound like I'm promoting this place but no.... well, I am, hahaha. This resort is situated in Binangonan beside Eastridge Golf Club. They have several deluxe and suite rooms. They only have one presidential suite though, it's difficult to book one. Veeerryy expensive. I get my rooms for free, the deluxe or the suite one. Deluxe is 40 sq.m. and has 2 queen beds, an 8 sq.m. bathroom with a hot tub, a personal fridge, 2 closets, a TV with dvd, and a dvd component. Same goes with the suite but it only has one King sized bed. All rooms have verandas and from there you could see great views of either the mountains or the Laguna de Bay.

The resort has an infiniti pool and jacuzzi out front. A cabana bar serving buffet and ala carte would definitely spice up your stay. A playground for the children, a spa, and free wi-fi access are also available.

A deluxe room costs Php4,500 per night for 2 pax. A suite room for Php6,000. Both are inclusive of free breakfast at the cabana or the Las Vegas Buffet inside the Casino.

You might be asking why I could get a room for free. I don't know too. But come to think of it, it might be because they need to compensate for the amount my parents have spent losing on their slot machines already. Speaking of which. Yeah I gamble, just on the slot machines though. Table games such as Baccarat, BlackJack, Poker and Roulette just ain't in the budget. Heck I could insert 2 Php10.00 coins and win a thousand. Hahaha. That was one time I caught glimpse of 2 pcs of coins on one empty slot machine. I took it and inserted it. I pressed ten lines times 1 peso bet and voila! The first roll gave me three hundred. Another press, nothing. I was deliberating on whether to collect it or risk it. I risked another 10 pesos. In that single press of the button, I got Php690.00 just exact for a whole Php1000.00 peso bill. I withdrew it and went outside to smoke while waiting for my parents to exhaust themselves. That's the idea...

For those who want a chance of a night's stay here, contact me and i'll hook you up.
