Casino Royale

I can find no information anywhere which suggests that there has ever been a casino in Vanuatu yet there are claims that as part of the resort rebuild following Cyclone Pam, we can expect the Grand Opening of 'The Iririki' Casino next to the pool side bar on January 16, 2016.

All the way from the casino capital of the world, Las Vegas, these genuine chips are Vegas stamped and sure to create an atmosphere nothing short of the real deal.  These chips were brought out by the same company that keeps the Browlow Medal Votes secret.  Security like no other, they arrived at the Toleman house just in time for his birthday.  We all know Bryn Jones is desperate to win back the money he lost at last years Under 9 boys footy camp, Garry and Bronwyn are card sharks from way back and Shellie Storm is out to win at everything including poker.  But, don't be disappointed if cards and gambling are not your thing.  There is guaranteed to be a game to interest everyone including drinking games for Helen and Paula, dice games for those who are on holiday and have no interest in using their brain and even crown and anchor always guaranteed to please.  But, it's not about the dollars.   Maximum chip value is $5000 but early week outlay is low and unless you manage to lose money as quick as Bryn $50 should keep you playing for the week.  For those that don't get it there is an exchange rate.  $50 will get you thousands of dollars in chips.

In true Oceans Eleven style we can expect casino owner, Paul Toleman to be present in the casino most days but will he be able to be recruited by partners in crime, Mick and Jodie Kist to perform the simultaneous plan of robbing the Casino, the pool bar and the island ferry all at the same time.  As owner of the chips, no doubt Paul will be reluctant to be involved but when he works out how much money Zinnia and Mick Hardiman,  Dave Morris and Jenelle and Brett Hartman have put over the bar in one week he is sure to get involved.  There will be more cash sitting behind that bar than goes through Centrelink on dole day.   When Paul works out this will cover his trip expenses, no doubt he'll agree and his inside information will ensure its success.  Mick and Jodie will be pairing up having escaped the prison of football season team managers role and will be prepared to stay up late to ensure they can pull this off.  Expect all plans to be emailed to all recruits.

Mick and Jodie will be looking to recruit numerous colleagues and criminal specialists to get maximum results.  Simon Dalziel will be picked up as the young and talented pick pocket attracting no attention from anyone,  Richard Cowley will be the required conman with the ability to sell ice to eskimos, Ash Storm and Simon Mehegan will be the gifted pair of mechanics, and Scott James the electronics and surveillance expert will use his helicopters to ensure everything goes to plan.  Dave Spark will fly the helicopter if necessary. Larry Mehegan will be used as the decoy appearing like the innocent old man and he will work in company with Ian King to distract the Ferry driver and bar staff.  University Professor Andreas Fouras is likely to be sure to work out the logistics but expect him to send Helen to forward the ideas to the Kists.  Acrobats, Emma Jones and Sue King will be called upon to perform cartwheels and backflips as the ferry pulls away when the ploy is uncovered.  No doubt the two psychologists, Tina and Robyn on becoming aware of the plan will try and talk the crew out of it but they all know if they get this right this is a free trip for all.  At worst if will cover the four 13 year old kids who aren't covered in the kids eat free deal!!!

At the end of the day if all goes wrong what have we lost?  Nothing, we have a week of laughs, games and fun at the Iririki Casino....
