    Had a Chinese friend who was here without papers and desperately wanted to stay. She was willing to give someone who would marry her, three monogamous years in exchange for her green card. At the end of year three she would decide if she was going to stay. Girl was a very attractive brick house of the Hong Kong variety. She lucked out and obtained her papers on her own, but baby was willing to do it anyway she could.

    All jokes aside I can respect an honest man even if he's done stupid shit. Specially one who shows humility and can laugh about it later at his own expense.

    Now who is this dumb ass you referring to anyway Dquick?

    There is so much money to be made that that don't need to steal.

    NOW this sounds like a like the work of greedy management and employees. They should be reported to the casino management. They aren't going to get their money back but at least that management can be aware that casino is ruining their name.

    If you think BLB is just thinking like a gringo, yeah sure but the 2 casinos i frequent has done a few interesting things. Last time i was at hotel jaguar several pit bosses are gringos. not expats, they were company men, i can tell by the way they greeted me and how they spoke to me. As the Lina, they have caught and kicked out cheats, shouting out the cheapers on facebook and twitter. Sounds stupid right, think about it, the casino manager tweets/facebook "BLB was cheating at hotel Lina" next time i am at the casino Hispaniola one of the players remembers that message, and shouts me out and management hears me. Why would i say that because thats what i would if i run into those cheaters again. I will go to the manager and say I am leaving because they allow cheaters and i would make heard

    Now i have no idea how keno works, i have seen the Dominicans at Hotel Lina holding their keno tickets. Keno has the worse odds but it isn't rigged intently. I dont know how you can go from free to 3k, to 14, 40k in debt without asking. We need more info about the scam


    I read some of your prev posts , so I know you are a Card Player.. Poker in particular, and you know your Game quite well...

    This game is Caribean KENO, or Super Keno .. its a total SCAM and its been reported at least 10 years back to like Punta Cana Resorts , and that its impossible to WIN..and even if you DO win, it would take more money than the Prize to win it.
    Im surprised you never heard of it though

    .. As you say though, the upper Managers might not be aware its going on, as this Keno manager may even be RENTING the space in the casino ? & the casino gets a percentage of the Cut... so Im thinking they ARE aware.. and can just claim ignorance. since its not their employees running it.

    As was said before, DR1 has a good thread on it, since 2004 and one guy was aware of it since 1999. and on Tripadvisor a guy reported it in 2003 in Punta Cana.
    So I doubt its going away or they would have already done so already..
    I am surprised though that an AI like RIU in Punta Cana would get involved with such a Scam game... Just one of those things we cant change in the DR.

    I tried to upload the Instrument Approach plate for landing at MDPP - or, as we know it, POP. The "approach plate" is a diagram of the procedure that the airline pilots follow to land at MDPP without looking out the window till the last moment! I'm not kidding, folks, I have the Instrument Flight Rules license for flying through clouds and sloppy weather when you can't see out the window until you're just a couple hundred feet above the runway.

    Speaking as an Instrument-Rated Pilot, I will say most unequivocally, positively, and dogmatically that arriving alive on an airliner is plenty enough gambling - Dicing With Death, as the old RAF pilots used to say it in WWII - for ME! Landing safely through the T-storms at POP is gamble enough for this old pilot.

    Been there, done that (though not professionally), got grey hairs enough! I don't need no fuckin' Keno, no fuckin' casino, not when I used to throw the dice with the Old Man With The Scythe.
    I'm still "Just A Lurker."

    A guy at work had this happen to him on another island, I forget which one. He was winning big and then he owed 3K dollars.
    He makes a big deal out of it and gets a meeting with the minister of tourism for the Island, who is also the hotel manager it turns out and has to pay to get out of there. Scam all over the place.

    Mad Re: BEWARE! Sosua Bay Casino

    This is hard to post in public but I was one of the two. I didn't come down here to gamble, I don't gamble
    in the U.S., and I know better and was not too drunk. Honestly, I wish I could explain it I spent about 24
    hours hitting myself in the head about it. Its my first trip to Sosua and this was on my second night but that is ABSOLUTELY
    NO EXCUSE. I'm not posting for sympathy (though it is certainly appreciated) and those that post how I
    acted like a dumb-ass, I concur wholeheartedly. I will just say about that, I can't feel any stupider and worse
    about it so if you really wanna point and laugh that is your business.
    The main reason I'm posting admitting to this highly embarrassing dumb-ass move is that Rick has posted this and I want to
    say that Rick helped and, surprise surprise, went well and above the call of duty on this. It sucks, it sucked,
    it will suck every time I hear the word casino for years. But I am not letting it ruin my vacation. It took about
    24 hours but the self anger has been tamped down and last night I had an unbelievable night thanks to Rick, Jessie James
    and several vets and I will update my trip report later on.
    Avoid this game, not that most don't already, but it never hurts to say. I don't read D.R.1 forums and tried to do my
    research here and never came across it in a thread. That's not to say I shouldn't have known anyway, I kind of did,
    I don't know what the fuck happened guys. In fact, I need to stop thinking about, its ruining my morning high from
    the fiesta fun last night so I'm gonna leave it at that.

    It's only $3K man, it coulda been $20K, now that woulda been real dumb!
    I would report the card stolen, and dispute the charges AFTER YOU LEAVE, and never return!!!

    Just enjoy yourself and forget about it.

    hell that's nothing xmas 05 I picked up a freshly married chica at rockies showing off her wedding pics from the day before
    LOL, I remember Jenny! She showed me the wedding pics as well. And the diamond wedding ring.

    The Caribbean Keno games are run by operators that rent from the Casino operators who rent space from the hotels.

    To be honest, Casino operators strongly believe in the mantra of "a fool and his money are soon parted" and place the blame solely on the money loser who is dumb enough to think they can make a killing so easily.

    It's not fair to say "the casino" threatened them, because it wasn't, it was the Keno operator. I know a couple of them, (they're bikers, surprise!) and to be honest, I wouldn't fuck with them for a second.

    And yes, they do go after non-payers. As far as they're concerned, they legally won your money. For a couple of grand, you can forget about them chasing you, but for the big ones, they're ruthless.
    If you think it's love try not paying in the morning..

    While I did say sympathy was difficult, empathy is not.
    I would not laugh about it..cuz it does indeed suck.
