I took ClubZ of TranStar on 3 July 22 05:30am Tampines MRT Exit B.
Since it had meals and drink onboard, it skipped YongPeng rest stop, I reach bus terminal at FWH around 11:30am.

I took WTS on 17 July, this time very drama, one couple bring mum around, but the elderly supposedly driven to the pickup point at 530am, but was late, the bus driver ask the driver for the elder to drop her at the last bus stop of before zoo.. along KJE/BKE, when the bus arrived to pick her up.. she was found to be on a wheel chair, then she aboarded and bus drove off, the couple realised that the elderly luggage was not unloaded from car, but decide forgo her luggage.. The bus driver remarked scastically the couple having a charsiew son for leaving his granny at the bus stop while he was in the car in front of the bus-stop.

And when in yongpeng, the elderly only decided to go toilet last minute.. spent about 15mins waiting for this family.. reach GH around late 12, probably the driver speed up to make up for lost time.

To me, unlucky start is not good sign for me.. I did not hoot big in my last visit.
Seen youtube vids on club z, some got food, some maybe didn't film. So if confirm got food, easier for me with young family.

The only McDonald’s there service still hasn't improved. Opening times are erratic, sometimes 6.30am, sometimes 7am or at times 8am. Just the other day the entire store did not have water at opening time, and then 2 hours later they shut their operations for the rest of the day due to it. Poorly managed. lol.

I only eat at the McD, when I had a poor field day at ETG games, or I missed their DoubleQuarter Pounder with Cheese (removed from SG McD menu in December 2017, but Sep 2022 backi n only 3 branches-trial) , or my Kids want to collect some HappyMeal toys to resell at Carousell SG.

Its sad to see GPO Wendy's closed down, as they had better burgers, BK at GPO still taste good but then the atas Five Guys at SkyAvenue recently opened, rest of the burger joints not considered fast food.
Hanburger at SkyAvenue is the low SES fast food, I ate once and never returned, taste as bland as the burgers sold in 1-meter Teh store,

Walking exterior of the compound, the Crockford is nearer to theme park.
Both hotel are the both extreme ends, walking by indoors, the access to theme park u need to go thru the ticket gates, thus the FWH is nearest.

Finally they did something about the card renewal thing.

You can now do it online, and collect the new card at extreme right "password-change-counter" which is having a very short queue.
They will re-verify the passport details , sign the digital form and set the card password on the spot when u collect.

Unfortunately, new application for card had to join the main queue and enjoy the 2-4 hours standing exercise.


Sent from my friend's mobile.

Hi bro,

Did the online renewal. But did not receive any confirmation email.

Where is the place to go to collect the card?

Ah ha fellow slotties! Too many stories, mostly unverified, when it comes to slots. :)
Not sure big bets means what? But big and small don't quite matter when it comes to winning Grands for example at least in my slottie experience. Some would swear by big bets for higher chance of striking JP which is true but it means higher frequency getting the JP bonus games but not higher chance of striking.

Yup 200x of your bet is considered a decent to big win to me.
Bonus games are just chances to win bigger amounts. Plenty of slotties here have their fair share of lousy bonuses. In fact many many bonus games but f up wins. Super frustrating! Hahaha...

If wanna better chance at good wins, try those without accumulated community JP machines.

I find it more enjoyable as a spectators than players.
Keep seeing rich old ladies keep getting bonus rounds, and always bet big.

Winning big still depends on just sheer luck.

Still prefer ETG Roulette odd of 48.7% winning chance in big/small.

Omw back from uphill on bus typing FR

This is my experience from Sun early morning to Tues

Sun 4.15am
- Reached Genting, nothing eventful no q
- went direct to q for membership and waited for abt 45mins cos I think got overnight bus ppl all doing membership
- sg direct upgrade to silver

Casino (Silver can access skygold area:
- 1st floor only 4 pontoon, 4 baccarat, 2 stud poker, 4 sic bo, 2 roulette tables open. No other table games are available during off peak hours.

Peak hours I think table just double mayb more can't confirm

- 2nd floor
Nothing to say, no table game gg

- 3rd floor
Hight limit baccarat 300min 4 tables during off peak hours

During peak hours
2 bj 4pontoon alot of baccarat tables

In summary in my humble opinion
- too many ppl too little tables
- I go there intention sit n play pontoon or bj not to bet behind ppl

*highlight*
THERE IS A POKER ROOM IN GENTING

5/10 ante 5 (min. 500 max 2000)
10/20 ante 10 (min. 1000 max 4000)

Sun noon:
Played the 5/10 game for 17 hours straight from 1230pm to 5.30m with multiple breaks in between ranging from 5min to 30mins. Local reg are friendly but for those serious in the game might b offended by multiple talking in between big hands but generally they don't discuss hands when players in pot.

Enviroment is good and they w help u with some local rules like if exposing hands before showdown is an immediate fold n insurance play etc.

Mon night:
Played the same game but with different regs but this time shorter session as I was almost gg from previous day. Played from 3pm to ard 7.30 then 9.30 to abt 3.30am

Experience there is that if a new face sit down all reg will try to scout u all n see if u can play anot n generally will try to bully u in the game by alway 3 betting after u raise but once they see ur game they will back down, same for all places. Couple of inexperienced players came and I became 1 of them bullying them. New players come n go pretty fast.

Conclusion for me:
- will return for Poker Room
- Not worth to visit the casino for table games
- no comments for slots
