Email: What’s luckiest experience, day ever? (HK)
Whoah. 1st visit to Le Casino Monte-Carlo! Always intrigued by images of James Bond’s classy gaming styles. Belle Époque architecture of ‘Salle Europe’, world of glamour, elegance, prestige.
Dressed fairly in fineries (gorgeous black gown), waited for Dad in Privee Lounge Bar. Who sits next? American actress Grace Kelly’s husband, Monaco’s Prince Rainier! Very pleasant conversation, few lovely compliments.
Dad late, ushered to an English Roulette table. Set a budget of couple thousand Euros (risk!). Roulettes have numbers 0-36. Didn’t know minimum bet – Euro 250. Too embarrassed to leave table!
Began intuitive play. Bet on #24. Win! 35 times bet. Bet on #6. 35 times bet again. Bet on #1. Hat-trick win! Incredibly devilish. Within 1 hour ended with unbelievable wins.
Jackpot! Rarely visit casinos, playful not monetary gains. Love roulette, black jack. Never lost though…
