Gambling!

A casino located within Port of Spain

There are a few elderly people who you would come across in Trinidad that would say they don't or have never played a "play whe" or scratch a "scratch". I myself have grown a liking for playing scratch after my first $500.00 win! If I remember correctly it was a lucky 8 scratch card for those who are wondering. :-)

The country has its own National Lottery board which offers various games from cash pot, pick 2, pick 4, play whe, lotto plus and a collection of scratch cards. If you can't make it to a lottery boot you are sure to find someone crouched up on the corner of a pavement selling lottery tickets and scratch, all right at your service.

If you are more of a big time gambler, no worries, you could walk into any of the many casinos in town, once over the age of 18 and 21 for some. Casinos and lottery ticket boots, are just as rampant like the number of bars.

The Chinese have set up quite a few casinos including the famous Ma Pau. The night life of Port-of-Spain is filled with flashing, blinking lights from casinos drawing people in like flies to spend their pension money and monthly pay.

Damn lights, I'm such a fly myself, intending on visiting one for my upcoming birthday. I can't help it, I guess it won't hurt seeing that I tend to be pretty lucky at times, right?

If your not much into playing games and just wish to sit back and win cash, you can always go bet on a horse!

So far the many gambling establishments, bars and clubs which can be found around the city is bringing about an urban place which is quite hectic, busy, crowded and full of night life activities.
