The big talk of the town is “Casino Nights? Such is the intensity of the on-going palaver that an urgent curiosity started to wreak hurricane-style havoc within the ever vigilant Donn. It was time to find out “exactly?what this company is about.

Step one; the beautiful and posh 5 Star Fullerton Hotel located in what used to be the old Singapore General Post Office.

 

 

 

 

It was great to see that guests consisted of a nice mix of Singaporean residents and foreign expatriates.

I counted six gaming tables: three Blackjack, one Baccarat, one Roulette, and one Poker table.

 

Upon my arrival at the venue located in the basement of this great hotel, I was greeted by the General Manager,
Charles Chia, and Ms Lois Miki Yeo, Director of Casino Nights Singapore.

Mr Chia explained that since the introduction of Casino Nights in Singapore, bookings have poured in and that even with the economic downturn, interest has been phenomenal, especially from multinational companies.

There was an atmosphere like none other - a joyful party atmosphere. Players were screaming; players were counting their winnings while at the same time some were helping themselves to the generous snack buffet, and all the while a whirling dervish of well-skilled waiters kept everyone in drinks.

Mr. Charles Chia, the General Manager, said: “Donn, we make true on our promise to guarantee fun and this is behind the phenomenal success our company has enjoyed since its introduction here in Singapore?

 

 

 




 

Donn was given 2000 dollars of?NO, not real money as some might think but "fun" money, exchangeable for gaming chips at the tables.

And what fun it was as I hopped from one table to another enjoying a round of blackjack here, a game of roulette there and some poker over there while enjoying snacks and beverages. This occasion brought back the days when Donn played at the Las Vegas Sands in 1988. Is there anything Donn will not do for his readers?

At the end of an allocated 3-hour fun gaming event, guests were asked to count their winnings and the winner was handed a prize by the client company.

 

 


Fun Money

It’s worth mentioning that it really did feel like playing in a real casino except of course that the money used to buy gaming chips wasn’t real. Also worth mentioning is the professionalism with which the whole event was run, start to finish. Then of course the dealers; professional and magnificent, qualified and fully trained. Some of them on leave from work on cruise ships. Amazingly, amongst them was the one and only Mr Joel Koh Yang Pang - THE veteran Casino Dealer extraordinaire.

 

 




According to Mr Charles Chia, General Manager of Casino Nights, guests neither need knowledge nor experience playing the various games offered as a friendly dealer will explain the rules whenever needed.
“Bookings should be made early as can be as to avoid disappointment? Mr. Charles Chia, said.

Clients can choose the games and the number of gaming tables as well as the venue.

So, when your employees are tired of rock climbing and other team-building types of events, give them a real treat and take them to "Casino Nights" here.
