An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
was chatting with my kopi kais recently and we were looking at the types of gamblers at both RWS and MBS. as me hadn't part with any 100 bucks, me could only be a passive listener.
over the conversation, me heard of stories where the gamblers would be immersing themselves at the tables, apparently wearing the same outfit over some period of time, some munching on the breadtalk loaves, some having a beer or two, some of the super rich, and of the regular blokes...
a sad scene when you see those regular blokes staring blankly into the space, stoned, occasionally asking for a $5 chip from other gamblers to recoup their loses, only having to lose the bet all over again...
much as the old man didn't like the idea of a casino, and now that there's the exclusion list and entry fees, me do suspect that this social ill will sink its roots deeper and the repercussion will hit back within the next generation... :(:(:(
