Not saying anything good or bad about this, just that it didn't have the same inviting atmosphere that I'm accustomed to and didn't make me feel like I wanted to sit down and play.

Haha to be honest many of the Mainlanders there are government officials gambling on "dodgy" money, so chances are that they probably don't care much about winning or losing.

Enjoyed your TR and Happy New Year!
