Cool title, huh?

We have a big time Chinese whale at the casino who gambles close to a million per month. He's one of the few whales that gets greeted personally by our GM. You hear odd stories like this all the time, but this time I was there when it happened. We have 2 big chandeliers at the main entrance of the casino. A big piece of visible lint/dirt fell right on top of this guy as he was greeted by our GM and gaming directors. He swatted it off the top of his head.

I saw our GM apologize, but I was too far to hear the conversation. 3 weeks later, we received 2 new chandeliers priced at 150k each. Word around here is that the Chinese guy told the GM he didn't like the old chandeliers and he ordered the GM to buy new ones and these are what he personally selected.

These Chinese gamblers are fucking ridiculous. And a lot of them do not look rich at all. I've personally seen these guys carry in dufflebags of cash.
 
there are so many fucking undercover rich guys out there
i was at that hacky casino at the Atlantis in the Bahamas and a Middle Eastern guy was next to me at the craps table. both he and I had ZERO clue about how to play craps, I was just copying the guys next to me bc they sorta knew what to do.

This middle eastern guy was throwing down a bunch of , what i thought were, $2500 and $5000 chips each roll, losing everytime....
i took a closer look and realized they were $25K and $50K chips, so he was betting anywhere btw $250k to a Million per roll each time.

the guy mustve played about 20 rolls and lost a couple to a few million right next to (while im betting $100 max lol) before the pit boss approached him and brought him to his own table where he was given private lessons on how to play
i wonder if it was the lax Bahamas attitude or if they waited on purpose for him to give a few mil to the casino before approaching him
 
I used to attend a local casino but only spent a little a time.

Always noticed the same Asian guys and women too. They were always there in the same seats too.

One guy turned out to be the farmer of a house converted for growing weed.
 
Is the trick to gambling just being so rich you don't give a fuck about losses, or what?
 
In Chinese it’s called 低调

Basically low key.

Loads of these dudes around, mainly Chinese men can pull it off but the women can’t resist that materialism.

Nouveau rich are all 流氓 wannabe badasses who scored it lucky through insider trading or even having daddies money.

I have a colleague that owns 7, SEVEN!, apartments here in Shanghai each easily 2-3 million USD and the guy drives around in a VW suv and his wife has a VW polo.

If you know your suits you’d be able to tell he’s wealthy, other than that a seiko wrist watch iPhone 8 and a dorky look.

Some dudes just want the money not the attention.

Curious what Casino you work at? Is it an MGE property? I work at a casino in Niagara Falls Ontario. I work behind the scenes setting a lot of stuff up for these whales. Today is our Mid-Autumn festival event for the highest of the high asian whales. It's been crazy here for weeks setting this up. It's amazing how demanding, and very specifically demanding these patrons are.
 
Good luck for the Casino that the guy wasn't american. He would have sued your ass.

guys like that acquire such things BECAUSE they have that mentality of "still working"

to them, even if they amass a certain income level, they have the drive to keep going, taking more risks....they cannot be placated, as long as their mind and body are still able to work (make money)

that's the whole thing most people dont realize. When we say "if i had just $10 million of that guy's money, Id never work.....when that guy wouldnt have that $10 million to spare if he did NOT have the mindset of always working

Most people with the thinking of "if I have xx amount, I would quit my job to travel around sipping martini on some islands" are the ones that won't get rags to riches. Most..

Some of my friends plans to retire from work around 35 ~ 40, but ALL of them mentioned that they will continue working passive here and there for their companies. Some plans to help out charity of sorts. And no, it's not like Charity in US where rich people transfer funds just to evade taxes and shit.

And these are the friends I legitimately believe they can retire at said age. Unless of course some health or family shit pops up.

EDIT:
Damn.. @Pure Peace said something similar while I'm typing this shit up.
 
I got side tracked for this thread. I came to share after reading OP that I've seen who I presume to be Indonesia Datuk wives/daughers come into Casino carrying brown paper bags full of cash. Yes, those we see in B movies where druglords hold their cash with, those brown paper bags.

It sometimes takes 15min+ for our cashiers to count the notes with a money counter.

There are some rich fuks out there that doesn't look their part for sure.
