The passport scanner in the hotel lobby is basically a RFID scanner, the image scanner is to read the passport last line text. RFID get the rest of the details.

If ur passport built-in RFID chip is faulty, you could NEVER able to check in yourself without assistance.

I learnt it the hard way, over the course of 5 trips, changed 3-4x membership card, email countless times, until I stumbled upon the DIY membership kiosk machine. the machine prompt me that unable to read RFID details..

if the kiosk show "invalid passport", it could be RFID chip issue.

My passport was less than 1 year old issued after covid reopening tour, I use phone NFC to scan also cannot get data.
I went back SG and get a new passport and there after, I can DIY check-in.
The problem for me is that I can scan my new passport in the new kiosk in First World Hotel but not once in the old kiosk type in Highlands Hotel. There is something else wrong that I cannot pinpoint.

Lately, its more easy to get Genting Grand Junior Suite than FWH WorldCard room.
Former was larger with class, while latter is nearer to the amenities and casino.

I had not seen World Card room in my FWH option choice for a long time, max best is Superior Deluxe.

Went up recently uphill and was talking to one of the pit bosses at Genting Club area. Heard from him that they will be closing down Genting Club in June too. All have to proceed to Skycasino and play liao (it will be damn crowded I guess)

Btw, he also shared that old casino most probably is permanently closed NOT renovation lol... not sure why the official announcement was saying upgrading/renovation.

Next time when you guys head up, pls help me ask the workers around to see if it's really true haha
Maybe it's an opportune time for stingy genting to renovate genting hotel and its dated hotels one after another.
Come to think of it, they may just put on a fresh coat of paint and spray some new building aroma to save costs since they so stingy.

Switch to macau la. Hosts are friendly x 10 and most importantly, they got power unlike genting hosts who are nothing more than postman relaying info. Genting hospitality staff are poorly trained except for the bellboys I guess. Very polite and helpful group.

No need to beg for rooms, water and comps. Hahaha!

Now got air tic promo I believe. $100 bucks before tax and whatever tariffs.

The only haven left is the highland plat. Almost all-day buffet. Still got free drinks unlike crockfords.
Even has self service beer, coffee at the lounge with plenty of fsg.
Got the usual old school slots, table games.
4 tables of BJ with min between 300 to 500rm. 4 tables of Genting stud with min 100rm.
Not crowded.

Definitely not crowded cos platinum is not easy to get and not easy to maintain that tier also.

Me not too sure also. Still considered macau newbie even after 1 year of switching from genting lolol
I'm forever stuck at the Sands chain of caisnos. Haven't played at other establishments other than walking in to check out the grandeur and makan their free drinks and snacks. Lol MGM got the best snacks with free BBT and sandwiches.

Sky level 2 got interesting new machines.

The latest edition of yingcaishen, imho, has better payout than those at sky level3.

They also brought in new lightning links (still old of cos by international standards).
