i went to nustar casino.

nice casino.

arrived at about 4pm, no game running, but has a poker room with like 6 or 7 tables, spoke with the girls there and they told me usually have a game running daily 50/100 PHP. Told them send me msg when game starts...i get a msg about 730pm that evening that game just started and seat open, but i didn't go.

on 2nd day same thing, they message me around 730pm but again didn't go...its too late i rather eat something then go to KTV lol.

I also msg this room called Poker8 club, they answered that they had a 25/50 game running, this was about 330pm. Drove all the way over there (its on outskirts of town) and there is no game running lol...ask them why the **** you tell me have a game but theres nothing? just waste of my time...she said they had players waiting but then they left lol (BS!).

Ill be back in town maybe 2 or 3 months from now. Will check out Waterfront and try to put an actual session at nustar.

there has been a 100/100/200 plo running every day pretty much at 2 ace. pretty juicy. seems like there is a chinese guy who sort of runs and organizes the game and I guess gets a cut of the rake? i dunno he gave me 2k in lucky chips to sit in it one night lol. 20k min. i really hate the 1/1/2 structure and the double board bomb pots they run every dealer change.

Any of the Manila experts able to answer a few gambling questions please.

Thinking of going to one of the resorts near the airport.

1) Do casinos out there have Video Poker Bar tops like Vegas. If not, is video poker available and what are options and pay tables like?

2) I know it's highly unlikely but has anyone seen Mississippi Stud Poker out there.

3) off topic of Poker, but do they have slot machines like Buffalo and Huff n More puff in particular.

Thanks in advance.

I think they arent at Okada or maybe split between all employees. I say this because a player was mentioning tipping her but wanted to wait till she was finished with her down.

Can anyone recommend options to send large sums of cash in 10K USD increments, from the Philippines to the U.S. What are some good options?

Thanks,

You can play on GG in Manila. There's not any restrictions that I'm aware of. Crypto deposits are alright.

If you can beat the rake at GG, let us know how it goes....

Hi Jim,

Living in the Philippines can indeed be a unique and enjoyable experience. Many find the cost of living affordable, and the hospitality of the people is well-known. If you have specific questions or need advice, feel free to ask!

This is aweful to see and only lessons can be learned from such a tragic event. Bottom line is do not trust strangers no matter how nice they may seem. Also if you are a person handling large amounts of cash in such a poor country is logical that bad actors will try to take advantage. Never tell people exactly what your doing for your own safety.

To all, be careful. Peace.

I hope they catch the culpruts and bring them to justice.

To all his family and friends i'm deeply sorry for your loss. I did not ever encounter this player.
