Celebrate Chinese New Year and Good Fortune at Genesys Club Casinos
-
The 8th of February marks the beginning of the Chinese New Year, which will be the Year of the Monkey this time around.
In Chinese culture, the beginning of the year is all about chasing away bad luck and attracting good luck. This is especially significant for all types of casino games, which feature very prominently in Chinese culture, where not only the good luck you attract matters, but also the good luck you make!
‘Making’ good luck involves for the most part, the use of special numbers. 8 has great significance in Chinese culture because ‘Eight’ has a similar pronunciation to ‘wealth’ or ‘fortune’, for this reason, this number is considered very lucky and denotes good fortune. So whether it be an $88 bet or even an $888 bet, the total of your poker hand adding up to anything 8 or even the time being 8 o clock when you play, it will all add to your good fortune.
All 5 Genesys Club Casinos, will be catering to the great amounts of good fortune that players will be wooing, and part of that luck will pay off in the form of promotions and offers. Mandarin Palace Casino will be celebrating the Chinese New Year over February, so keep your eyes on your mailbox.
Because winning is just as important in Chinese culture as it is in any other, many strategies are employed to not only directly affect the playing of casino games, but also the luck surrounding them. Giving money away on New Year, is said to bring good fortune. This is meant to come back to you many times over in one form or another, and hence the reason for gambling.
