part 3: gambling; play the game wisely

genting, as many would have associate besides them park, casino is one of the famous attraction that brings tourist there.

I, myself, of course wouldn't miss this attraction. Minus the fact that I'm younger than 21. I managed to sneak into the casino... Damn it, i'm really sad when I got pass the security without ID check. But that's not the point of the entry here.

Of course, entering the Casino brings new perception for me in gambling. Seeing people playing the games complusively, it's pretty scary.

You could see parents leaving their children outside the lobby of casino, people sitting in the casino, ready to pounch on any machine.

I only settle for jackpot machine. As I was playing, I could see the credits drop, unknowingly you kept pressing the buttons and wah la, you realise you just gambled RM50 away, after a while hoping to win back jackpot or something, you slot another RM50, time after time, before you know it, lotsa money is lost..

Myself, I set aside a certain amount of money for the game. Of course, as I'm playing I didn't really stick to the amount of money that i set aside, instead i took out more to play, in hope to win them back... BUT ALAS, i lost everything... *sob* *sob*

But I'm not really that complusive tho, at least I know when to stop. I dont' suffer from withdrawal sypmtons.

This made me realised that gambling is addictive. I more or less know why people can lost their fortune thru gambling.

At least I know I'm strong enough to discipline myself not to gamble excessively. I could control myself and strong in the mind to stop myself!
