Asia is Turning into a Gambling Hot Spot
Soon, there may be yet another way to come home from that trip to Japan with less money than you anticipated--or if Lady Luck is smiling at you, you'll end up with more.
Japan is pondering casino gambling Las Vegas-style. According to Bloggingstock.com's wordsmith Tom Barlow, casino investors are eyeing the gambling investment pay-off in Macau to see if Japan will be lucrative for raking in the dough as another gambling hotspot. Disneyland worked in Japan, so why wouldn't Las Vegas, the adult version of an amusement park, be a winner?
Singapore, always looking for ways to bring in money, already has gambling--I think I won about $2 Singapore dollars at the horse races once. Wheee!!! A casino project is already underway at the resort island Sentosa. And, according to the info Tom presented, Taiwan may also become a place for a gambling vacation. Recently, sports gambling has been voted in.
As a person who hates to lose money, I don't think I'll get a big win by gambling the next time I go to Asia. But, if there are free drinks at casinos as long as one is gambling, like is a common practice in Las Vegas, I might dig into my pocket to unearth some quarters. Because alcohol is so expensive in Singapore, a free drink might be worth a few pulls on a slot machine. Besides, three cherries do come up once in awhile and what a lovely sound that makes.
