Hi David,
Believe it or not I stood in 3 different lines at 3 different ATM machines--two went broke just as I was getting to the front of the lines--for over 45 minutes. Then in two lines at the casino and finally got in a little after 10:00. I was not referring to your 'quantity' of chips but to your variety. As I said, I did not even see the 25p or the 1 pound chips. I made a fool of myself by asking a fellow blackjack player where he got the light blue chips--I thought they were 1's and they turned out to be a stack of 10 pound chips. It really was sort of 'glitzy' but exciting. I spend my budget at the Casino at the Empire and did not even stop--as I had planned--next door at Napoleon's.
Did get to some Irish casinos on this trip and I'll be showing some of these chips in future posts. Doug
