\u201cDamas y caballeros. Bienvenidos a Heaven Scent, un nuevo y sensacional Casino en el valle vitivin\u00edcola chileno de Casablanca. Les damos la m\u00e1s cordial bienvenida a ustedes, maravillosa gente, que han venido a Heaven Scent para hacer un cambio en sus vidas. \u00c9ste es un establecimiento cinco estrellas donde todas las habitaciones tienen un jacuzzi (triple), un mega-bar y dos televisores plasma, adem\u00e1s de agua fr\u00eda, agua caliente, agua potable y chardonnay de libre consumo, \u00a1s\u00ed! \u00a1Cuatro bebidas a elecci\u00f3n! <\/p>\n

Nuestro casino cuenta con 17 bares y 8 restaurantes adem\u00e1s de servicio a la habitaci\u00f3n las 24 horas del d\u00eda, servicio de masaje, servicio de spa, peluquer\u00eda, lavander\u00eda y valet parking. Tambi\u00e9n tenemos un gimnasio completamente equipado, en caso de que quiera relajarse antes de ir a jugar, y karaoke port\u00e1til para una verdadera fiesta en su habitaci\u00f3n. <\/p>\n

Adem\u00e1s le ofrecemos todas las oportunidades posibles para que haga su fortuna. Queremos que disfrute su estad\u00eda en Heaven Scent, ya sea que est\u00e9 aqu\u00ed por 10 minutos o por 10 d\u00edas. Ah, y si el efectivo no le alcanza, \u00a1no se haga problema! S\u00f3lo facil\u00edtenos su tarjeta de cr\u00e9dito y le entregaremos efectivo justo hasta el mism\u00edsimo l\u00edmite. As\u00ed que venga y qu\u00e9dese; venga y juegue; sea uno de los grandes derrochadores y m\u00e1s a\u00fan, uno de los m\u00e1s grandes ganadores.<\/p>\n

Lib\u00e9rese de mujeres, despr\u00e9ndase de las monedas, pierda la camisa, \u00a1es s\u00f3lo una broma! Y lo convertiremos en una garant\u00eda de dinero: \u00a1Definitivamente saldr\u00e1 de aqu\u00ed como una persona distinta!\u201d<\/B><\/p>\n

Una oferta bastante tentadora, \u00bfno? Despu\u00e9s de todo, un casino es simplemente un resort construido para que usted y yo podamos cambiar nuestros destinos, hagamos nuestras fortunas. \u00a1Es casi como una obra de caridad! \u00a1Llegue con USD 50 y salga con USD 1.000! \u00bfHa conocido alguna vez a alguien que haya ido a un casino con la intenci\u00f3n de perder dinero? \u00a1Claro que no! Todos somos ganadores y mientras m\u00e1s tiempo se juegue m\u00e1s se gana\u2026<\/p>\n

Sin embargo, tambi\u00e9n me han dicho que los casinos son aut\u00e9nticos antros de inequidad donde gente ingenua arriesga dinero que no puede darse el lujo de perder (\u00a1aunque lo hace!) y cae en una trampa cuidadosamente dispuesta de alcohol, snacks, bailarinas en las mesas y otras atracciones \u201cgratuitas\u201d, que se convierten en cobros invisibles y -de todas maneras- terminan en su tarjeta de cr\u00e9dito.<\/p>\n

Lo mejor que he logrado ha sido ganar USD 25 a partir de USD 100 durante seis horas jugando ruleta y blackjack. \u00a1S\u00ed! Una vez, hace muchos a\u00f1os, un grupo de amigos fuimos al casino de Deauville, Francia, con la intenci\u00f3n de dejar vac\u00edo el lugar. Llegamos cinco con dinero para jugar y \u00a1yo fui el mejor! El casino gan\u00f3, porque tres perdieron todo (eso sum\u00f3 USD 300), un amigo perdi\u00f3 USD 75 antes de guardar USD 25 para nuestro taxi de regreso al hotel y \u00a1yo gan\u00e9 USD 25! Casino: +USD 350; arrogancia juvenil: -USD 350.<\/p>\n

Aprend\u00ed muchas cosas maravillosas de mi padre, pero un consejo suyo se qued\u00f3 conmigo: Las apuestas son para perdedores (\u00a1!), pero si usted decide probar suerte, nunca vaya a un casino con su tarjeta de cr\u00e9dito o con m\u00e1s dinero del que est\u00e1 preparado para perder, porque lo perder\u00e1. Aparte de los USD 25 que gan\u00e9 en Deauville, \u00a1siempre he perdido!<\/p>\n

Pero lo mejor est\u00e1 por llegar. El crecimiento de los casinos (no importa lo que pueda leer en esta dudosa publicaci\u00f3n) es simplemente una forma silenciosa de tributaci\u00f3n. El gobierno necesita fondos para Chiledeportes, nuevos caminos y puentes, para Transantiago, pensiones, etc. y \u00e9sta es la mejor forma posible de que entreguemos nuestro dinero: \u00a1\u00a1Divirti\u00e9ndonos!! De modo que vaya pague sus impuestos y p\u00e1selo bien\u2026<\/p>\n

Eso s\u00ed, sepa cu\u00e1ndo retirarse y cu\u00e1ndo huir\u2026<\/p>\n

Sigo siendo, el fumarola Jo o Jack manos r\u00e1pidas,

\u201cLadies and Gentlemen. Welcome to Heaven Scent, a sensational new Casino in Chile\u2019s wine-flowing Casablanca valley. A very warm welcome to you wonderful people who have come to Heaven Scent to make a difference to your lives. his is a five-star establishment where all rooms have a (triple) Jacuzzi, a mega-bar and two plasma TVs, as well as hot water, cold water, drinking water and Chardonnay on tap – yes! Four taps to choose from! <\/p>\n

Our Casino boasts 17 bars and 8 restaurants as well as 24-hour room service, massage service, spa service, hair stylist service, laundry service and valet parking. We also have a fully-equipped gymnasium, in case you want to loosen up before heading for the tables, and portable karaoke equipment for a real party in your suite. <\/p>\n

Then we offer you every possible opportunity to make your fortune. We want you to enjoy your stay at Heaven Scent, whether you are here for 10 minutes or 10 days. Oh, and if you are short on cash, no problem! Just lend us your credit card and we will give you cash right up to the very limit. So, come and stay; come and play; be one of the big spenders and even bigger winners.<\/p>\n

Loose women, loose change, lose your shirt – just kiddin\u2019! And we will make you a money-back guarantee: you will definitely leave here a changed person!\u201d<\/B><\/p>\n

Pretty tempting stuff, right? After all, a casino is simply a resort built so you and I can change our destinies – make our fortunes. It\u2019s almost a charity! Arrive with $50 and leave with $1,000! Have you ever met anyone who went to a casino intent on losing money? No way! We\u2019re all winners and the longer you play the more you win\u2026<\/p>\n

However, I have also been told that casinos are veritable dens of iniquity where gullible people risk money they can\u2019t afford to lose (but do!) and fall into a carefully-laid trap of \u201cfree\u201d alcohol, snacks, table-top dancers and other attractions, which become invisible charges and end up on your credit card all the same.<\/p>\n

The best I have ever done is to make a profit of $25 on $100 during six hours of playing roulette and blackjack. Yes! Once, many years ago, a group of us went to the casino in Deauville, France, intent on cleaning the place out. Five of us arrived with money to play and I did best of all! The casino won because three lost everything (that\u2019s $300), one friend lost $75 before saving $25 for our taxi ride back to the hotel, and I made $25! Casino: +$350; youthful arrogance: -$350.<\/p>\n

I learned many wonderful things from my father but one tip has stayed with me: gambling is for losers (!) but if you decide to try your luck, never go into a casino with a credit card or more cash than you are prepared to lose, because you will lose it. Aside from my $25 profit in Deauville, I have always lost!<\/p>\n

But the best is yet to come. The growth in casinos (whatever you may read in this dubious publication) is simply a silent form of taxation. The government needs funds for Chiledeportes, new roads and bridges, Transantiago, pensions, etc. and this is the best possible way for us to hand over our money – enjoying ourselves!! So, go pay your taxes and have a great time\u2026<\/p>\n

Know when to walk away, know when to run\u2026<\/p>\n

I remain, Smokin\u2019 Jo or Quick Hand Jack,
