Susan Morris - Gaming Inspector (Cardiff. South Wales)Sue had always wanted to travel but had not done particularly well at school. The dream became an obsession. This is what she says in her own words...
It suddenly dawned on me that the only way I was going to travel was by becoming a croupier! So I got a job in a casino and worked for a few years before applying for posts abroad. My friend Steve (now living in Australia) had applied for a job at the famous Sun City Casino - South Africa. I thought to myself “I couldn’t be that lucky - I just couldn’t ”.
So I wrote to them. I wasn’t really expecting to hear anything.
About three months later I received a letter! I just stared at the South African postmark for ages before opening it. They were inviting me to an interview in London. I attended the interview - coming away slightly apprehensive not sure whether I had got the job. I received a letter a few weeks later saying that I had at this time not been successful, but they would keep my name on file for future reference.
I thought “Yeah Right”. 5 months later - out of the blue, I got a telephone call from the casino in Sun City asking if I still wanted to go to South Africa. I screamed “Yes! Yes!” I was told then that I would be flying out on the 27th of March 1983 and the tickets would be waiting for me at the airport. Can you imagine at the age of 27 I was off on an epic journey...
The casino was absolutely amazing - so, so glamorous. There were over 250 staff and I started living a Five Star lifestyle! I drank champagne, ate in the very best restaurants and wore expensive clothes and met a lot of rich and famous people. I could not believe it! I had access to a life that I thought could not be possible. It was an amazing experience. I stayed for four years and I will never forget it...
You too could be as lucky as me, if you want to follow your dream! I was in the business for 16 years and I worked in South Africa, On the Cruise Ships sailing in the med and all around the Caribbean and I lived in Fort Lauderdale... FANTASTIC!
