Genting FAQ - Part 2

[datolim]

if I'm not wrong, junket business is almost non existent in Genting since they are the monopoly in Malaysia.

as for SG, read in the news that junket operators in Macau and US wants to bring customers here but need apply licence. no more news about them thereafter.

My point is about the difference between a tourist and a gambler in Genting.

Regarding junkets, oh yes, they have outside third party junket in GH and RWS.

I can understand how u feel. My first time in Genting ... had the steamboat, Kenny Rogers, etc. Disappointing experience, to say the least.

Until I discovered how to use GP to redeem free meals, transport, hotel rooms, etc.

The food in casino better than outside, IMHO.

Not counting Ah Yat, Genting Club, etc lah.

Like John said, plenty about food has been discussed in previous postings. Just go back and read.

If only we can also use GP to redeem "quay". Shoot away our troubles after a day of gambling. Oh boy!

on your note regarding junket, yeah I just found out theres junket in gh. the gamblers brought in by the junkets holds a Genting card that's completely different from the silver cards that we have. white in colour with the word 'junket' prominently on the front of the card. saw a few of those when they gave it to the croupiers to earn points inside IR.

I wonder what is the distinction between normal gamblers and them. I don't see those people gambling damn big. just a few hundreds per hand.

quite curious how those junkets work.

Inside IR, besides mixed rice, do try their herbal chicken soup and bak kut teh. Not available everyday though.

So many changes
Lucky Guinness still @ RM9 from the 24 mart next to the Eat@B5 formerly the run down canteen...btw the food sucks and quite pricey..

Nothing grand about the escalator up from FWH Casino where you kena swipe your Silver Card...just to get a cup of coffee or tea...I go there to make use of toilet to make "cake" cos cleaner than the one ones downstairs...

Quite a lot of new slot machines which actually caters more towards the China market cos very noisy, bright blink blink lights...and many Chinese characters..

This trip no profit from playing slots...unable to cover coach tickets...but managed to have lousy chicken n roast duck rice from Eat@B5, Curry Fish Head from Lao Ti Fang, 6 can of Guinness from 24 mart, Ah Yat Tim Sum for breakfast and KFC for makan in the coach on way back with the wifey....

Next trip will be next year maybe just to enjoy the cool air....cos no more thrills already and the journey is really a killer ...... I might as well take a budget flight to the land down under n stay 4D 3N to enjoy wine and great steaks and seafood plus still can play pokies

What's the earliest time to check-in in Resort Hotel? Thinking of staying there the next trip.

All along staying in FWH, normally take midnight bus from Golden Mile and reached Genting around 5:30am and self check-in at 6am.

 

[Extremme]

I think depends if its peak anot. If its not peak usually the rooms are empty prior to your arrival and they will allow you to check in early. I checked in last Fri around 1245-1pm

The earliest I had gotten my room keys for RH was 11am. Usually will get keys 12noon to 1pm. Do go to their reception counter to check if they hv not SMS u by noon. Sometimes, your room is already available but they forgot to SMS u. Happened to me a couple of times.

RH definitely better than FWH in terms of room size and facilities.

But I still book FWH when I go up alone. Firstly, less GP required (especially when no more GP given when get the NN package). Secondly, I dun spend that much time in the room anyway (just take showers and of coz, koon at nite).

Just received email from Genting for their 1-for-1 room promo. For free rooms up to end Nov. Hv to book before end Sep. But I already booked my rooms for Sep, Oct and Nov during the Aug NATAS promo. Genting is tempting me to go up more often.
