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.
The Game Should Be Sold Not Told
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.

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.
I have seen keno in USa casino but keep away from most table games, and i know normal Keno is a rip off.
All i have to say is WTF... i googled the scam and i read the 1st paragraph and I didnt have to read another word. I dont know what to say without being a complete asshole. MODs open make a sticky about the scam. WTF

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.

Minkyboodle / Scott, mucho respecto! It takes a man to step up to the plate and admit he got fucked over. Kudos and welcome to Sosua.
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..

Ditto!..much respect to minky/Scott for stepping up and outing yourself.
While I did say sympathy was difficult, empathy is not.
I would not laugh about it..cuz it does indeed suck.
I learned my lesson on that very same street corner in NYC as a young 20 year old.
Got me for $350...
Keep ya head up and enjoy the rest of your vacation.
I only gamble on flacas that say they can take dick.
