    Hello Gramazeka

    I looked at the web page you posted. They seem to have fairly good rules. Some of the casino's here have ASMs but of course I wouldn't want to play a CSM game.

    I was looking at the rules under "Casino Etiquette" and noticed that "greed is not allowed". I wondered if this might be a notice that they watch for advantage players and a large spread may get you backed off rather quickly.

    Do you play in Korea fairly often? I think I could stand to lose a little without complaining just to see those beautiful oriental women.

    A quick story for you. I arrived in Korea a good many years ago and walked into my hotel for the first time. They had lovely ladies dressed in traditional wear and had a 5 or 6 piece orchestra playing in the lobby. I listened and something caught my attention and then I realized they were playing "The Tennessee Waltz" and were singing it in Korean. It brought a smile to my face and a warm feeling to my heart.

    For your information, "The Tennessee Waltz" is song about my home state and has nothing to do with Korea.

    Take care

    The correct term is "Asian."

    Korea is one hell of a long way from the Orient.

    I have trusted sources who tell me, in no uncertain terms,

    that non Asians are even less welcome in Korea than in Macau

    Wikipedia:

    Today, the term primarily evokes images of China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and peninsular Southeast Asia.(2)

    The term "Orient" has always related to Turkey, the Middle East and the Balkans.

    Oriental when applied to humans is considered pejorative to many in the U.S. This is not true in the UK. The term was removed from all government docs in my state.
