The Casino @ The Empire

Chinese New Year 2008 used to be the gambling season back home. I haven't really been gambling since moving to the UK, except betting small monies during the World Cup 2006.

Joined Roger and Alex to The Casino at The Empire at Leicester Square yesterday, with initial plan to watch the Champions League actually as there's a nice bar area in the casino with a big projector screen.

You have to become a member to enter any casino at the West End.

"A touch of Vegas", I never been to Vegas before but this is a small 2 levels casino with a stylish restaurant and a nice bar. Only like maybe 5% of the size of Genting Highlands' casino with limited choice of games: banker player, poker, 3 cards poker, blackjack, roulette and some gambling machines.

Finally get to play a few rounds of blackjack finally this CNY in the casino and won small sum of money enough for a meal then ciao. I'm too timid to bet the hard earned money on the gambling table.
