I had some đŸ·
1st time I lost abt 500k ($1k + N180k) in a night (my life savings), with tears eyes I went into the office of the manager and told him if they return half of the money I’ll never gamble again in my life

The chinaman smiled and said:
“As a business, we want you to keep gambling”
I meat an Igbo business man who at the Casino whose wife kept calling him and he couldn’t leave Cos he was about 900k down.

He told me his wife thinks he’s always out cheating and that’s fine.

But that if she ever finds out he was out gambling, she will leave him immediately.
Met a 67yr old man from Jordan at a casino in Accra.

He said he had lost 3 marriages to gambling and they all left him when he had a lot of money.
So it wasn’t even because he got broke.

He spent the night advising me why I should quit gambling after that night.
One night out of frustration, I got into an argument with a man at the casino.

I insulted and threatened to slap him. Every1 was weirdly quiet.
He laughed and left me $100 with the manager when he was leaving

Checked him out and turns out he was an oil magnate and (ex) militant
I still believe “Beginner’s luck” is a real thing.

First time I walked into a casino, in 20minutes I was 80k richer and the guy that took me there ended up losing 120k that night.

I didn’t know the devil was giving me a kind welcome.
The casinos run by the Chinese has a file on everyone.
They know how much you’ve ever brought to the casino and how much you’ve lost or won and the difference.

And depending on your losing power, you can get better treatment than others.
The casino seem like where you can meet the wealthiest people and make valuable business connections.

But the chances that it will happen is abt 5%

I made a friend one time and was hoping to get law briefs from him.
He ended up borrowing money from me and hasn’t paid till today
My favorite gambling comeback was one time I lost 195k.
This was also all my money in life.

I drove home with tears in my eyes by 2am.
My babe at the time was even over and sleeping, I snuck in and took the last 15cash I kept and went back.

As soon as I got to 200k I ran away.
The best night life in Lagos involves the casino.

If you go to the casino on your way out and win some money, you will have the very best night with all that free money.

If you on the other hand lose, you know the gist.
Dealers in the Casino are always making small talk amongst eachother about how foolish gamblers are.. with particular attention to specific people

But if you win as little as 10k, they will all be humming in your ears like mosquitoes and shamelessly begging the “fool” for tips
I’ve been to a lot of casinos but the casino on the Shoprite building in Osu, Accra, freaks me out

All the times I’ve been there, it was so crowded and it’s almost like everyone can tell you are a new face.

I’ve played there 3times and I have a 100percent record against them 😁
