Melbourne Casino
After watching the guy I was travelling with blow $150 in 15 minutes at a roulette table in the big casino there (then going to the ATM for more), I thought better of blowing my meagre travel funds at the tables and generally soaked up the atmosphere. (note, standing in a casino on your own, occasionally scratching your nose will definately attract the attention of the security!!)

But after a while the sounds off money clattering down into the tray I thought "when in Rome..." and cashed in a $20 note and sat down at the Blackjack table.

After a couple of easy wins, I had $40 - so did my James Bond impression and pushed all my chips towards the dealer. After 5 cards, I had 21 (I didn't realise but a big American guy shouted his congratulations) I won about $150!

So I jumped up, thanked the dealer and cashed in my chips.

Paid for a meal in the posh restaurant and a trip up the Rialto towers with quite a nice girl!!

Win!

(never been to a casino since!)

a trip up the Rialto Towers
