Left: Travelling down the new walkway between the new parking garage and the entrance to Thunder Valley's casino, in the corner, there is a puzzling new blow-up figure. The figure looks vaguely Japanese, but how that helps with the Asian (Chinese, Filipino, everything but Japanese) clientele escapes me. The figure is holding a golden anvil, or something. The meaning is probably something like "bring us your treasures and make us smile!"Since I was already in Roseville, after "Anything Goes", I decided to drop into Thunder Valley Casino to see what was new up there.
They've completed a parking garage up there, and that was new. They seem to be advancing again on new hotel construction, promising "truly decadent" hotel rooms by Summer 2010.
For two hours, the blackjack was pretty good: one of the fellows at the table I was at kept getting numerous blackjacks in a row. Since luck in a casino trickles down to others at the same table, I benefitted. I started collapsing, however, but wisely withdrew and took a break while $50 ahead, taking time to eat dinner.
Instead of leaving after dinner, however, I persisted in playing. I entered a death spiral of bad luck.
Loss: $130.00.
