My family accidentally left a medium sized suitcase at our in-laws and are about to board our flight from MNL to Seattle. Nothing vital is in the suitcase, just snacks and clothes. Anyone have advice on how my in-laws can get this back to America in a cost effective manner? I’ll give them money for shipping, but trying to avoid paying an arm and a leg.
In the Philippines on vacation and decided to check out a casino. ₱300 table minimum, crapless. Current exchange rate is approximately 60 PHP for $1 USD. Odds limited to 5-4-3-2-1. I played ₱6000 and lost it all. I only played the pass line when I shot. I did hit 12 as the point once which was cool. It was a slow death. I played 6/8 for ₱300 and sometimes added 5/9 and would press and collect. This was my first time playing crapless, not a fan.
Most players sat when playing. Myself and other foreigners stood and had to move chairs out of the way. The dealers were quick and didn’t have issues with math, but they don’t heel the chips. I once thought the dealer mistakenly had 200 placed for me rather than 600 after pressing because the 500 chip was directly under the 100. Not much for stick calls and it was quite flat. Some older regulars joked with dealers in Tagalog, but otherwise a quiet table. Chip denominations were 1000, 500, 100, 25, and 5. The table had an option to place hardways and they paid 5 to 1. I didn’t see anyone play it, but that’s the first time I’ve seen that anywhere. Casino allowed smoking, but it wasn’t as bad as I’d expected inside.
The bubble craps wasn’t crapless and only had a ₱50 minimum. If I wanted to hang out all day I would’ve opted for that.
