JACKPOTS
After building for a long time, a record jackpot of $426 and 25 Baht was won at The Orient on Thursday.
One of our players has a Slovakian wife, and knew that Sněžka sounded either Czech or Slovak, but since he hadn’t heard of it, concluded that it was the highest point in the Czech Republic.
