He didn't show anything good and donked off over $100. It didn't bother me any. Still out of the blue this other asian who I think was Korean looks straight at him and says "quit [censored] raising you crazy asian". I am sitting right between them and I just burst out laughing. It was great.

A Viet dealer I was friendly with back in my live playing days told me once, "Vietnamese love gamble. Somebody die, go to funeral, bring cards, gamble."

I cracked up.

Incidentally, this guy has a pinky finger stumped at the knuckle as though it had been cut off. I never did get that story out of him.

When Macua first became a gambling place, it was still owned by Portugal not China. It is true that Stanley Ho pretty much had the place monopolized before Steve Wynn had something to say about it...

I read about this in Ugly Americans by Ben Mezrich. It's some kind of Japanese mafia ritual.
