Jackpot Joker

This is the part of the forum where we discuss Cambodia's nightlife! While most bars, nightclubs, pubs, beer gardens, and hostess bars are in Phnom Penh, we discuss the Cambodian nightlife across all of Cambodia, including Siem Reap, Kampot, and Sihanoukville. The main nightlife areas in Phnom Penh are on Street 136, Street 130, Street 110 and Street 51, but there are other party spots that aren't girlie bars where expats, tourists, and locals drink until the sun comes up. Feel free to post specials and promotions that relate to nighttime fun!

Jackpot Joker

Post by Gazzy »

I see the Front bar hold their new Joker draw on Friday's at 10 pm, exactly the same time as the long-established Honey-Pot draw. Why is this, I mean what's wrong with a different night? Seems whack to me.

People also ask:
Is it out of whack or wack?
'Whack' is a verb and it means punching someone, while, 'wack' is an adjective that describes something as abnormal. Note that 'wack' is an informal British term.

It's not an accident. Front Bar has a loyal crowd and Friday is a busy night. Honeypot is a hooker bar that nobody I know enjoyed going to, especially when packed. Once the jackpot went off and a new game began, Front Bar made their move. I suspect they got bored of seeing their customers decamp for an hour every Friday night.

Anyway, Honeypot only got the game via Ponytails via Sharkeys via Walkabout. It's hardly long established and it's fair game for competition.

You're leaving out that Bourbon and Beefsteak Bar ran a draw in 2004. And then Peace Pub ran an Ace of Spades draw in 2005.

somebody had the joker 2 weeks ago, was 5777 dolaar, niceee. No idea how long it was running, probably sinds newyear ?? Its just fun, i am 90% sure its a "little" scam, they dont put the joker in before at least half the cards are turned (26 weeks or half a year), they just want to make money out of it. I dont care in fact, i useally buy for 3 dollars what gives me a free beer. Wont die from that, and useally i see people overthere i hardly see elsewhere during the year !! And from al the girlie bars, Honeypot is in my eyes one of the better-ones, went there also at "opening-ceremony" in 2015 if i remeber good !! And its still in the same place and the same name, whatsuseally a good sign !!

This is due to me never having heard of either of them. In 2004 I was very much on the treadmill with the other rats.

Any advance on 2004 anyone?

I'm surprised if Front Bar is not using a slighly different name. I would have thought HP/AB has intellectual property in the name, m'learned friends may be sending a "cease and desist" letter!

I was in there when it went off. I didn't recognise the winner, I had never seen him before, and I recognised virtually everyone else in there. I asked a few other people if they had ever seen him and drew a bank. I asked them to ask others. So far, nobody I know has ever seen him before or knows anyone that has. Funny that...
