my personal opinion..

the $100 levy goes to the Govt and not into the casino's pockets..( channel to Govt's funds for charity..hopefully ??)

i think the $100 levy does have an effect on those "who feels it not worthwhile to drop in" ?
(there are alot of peoples..who still do not go inside..as they prefer to go KL Genting or cruise ship)

also..at least,,,you do not get "any ah Ter, ah kow" to kacau you..when you play ?
(those who cannot afford to pay $100..should at least do not drop in..)

just hope that they do not increase the levy to higher amount..!

the locals...must have discipline on money matters/management and play for entertainment..

afterall... it's gambling.. and no "sure win"..!

if they do not spent the money in the casino..they would still risk it overseas..
or buy other forms of gamblings or entertainment (4ds,soccer bets.. toto..nightclubs....etc etc..)

the amount of $100 is almost equivalent to the amount cost to travel to KL Genting by car ..
(time factor not taken in consideration..)

My personal view is the levy just for the govment to pick some money from punter before lose to casino, as a safe guard i dont see any effectiveness, if u dont gamble, u wont go in casino frequently even without levy, if u gamble then 100 levy is nothing since u are not go in to win 100 or lose 100 each time visit, further more if u are high roller than just pay 2k for a year unlimited go in, what is 2k since each hand also bet sound sound thousand, of course it still can stop some ah ma ah pa who only bring 2-3 hundred and travel to leisure world always, 100 to them is too much, but with this 100 levy , the cruise will suck all these ah ma ah pa money and no need to pay tax also, and the govment will lose the tax revenue, and i believe after some professional calculation , the levy collected is far far more than the money that ah ma and ah pa lost in cruise, so the levy is implemented, of course must use the name social safe guard otherwise 出师无名, if really want to block increase the daily levy to 500 or 1k, then i believe if u are just a normal income earner sure will not go in casino, haiz... but want to take care casino revenue at the same time then talk about 100 social safe guard , who believe?:biggrin:

thanks for sharing your opinion..
yes..the $100..is nothing to Big timers and high rollers but do make a small impact on those that feels it's
better to save the $100 than drop in for a free cup of coffee + mineral water . (tiod boh ?)

that's why the Govt must try a " balance" between all parties (casino, local citizens, religious groups, clubs..that operates slots..etc etc..)
you cannot pleased everyone..but can deter and let those that wishes to drop in to decide themselves.

(our Govt' style ?...

MOney talks..! No MOney..! NO pay.. No go..!

just like ERP... COE..and high parking charges at city centres.. ?

cannot afford the luxury of driving car... Don't buy car !)

imagine...if they banned locals and target only tourists into the casino?

there will still be alot more unhappy punters and gamblers than those non gamblers..
(if you cannot go to your own backyard to gamblers.. you will feel disappointed with the Govt ..as well)

Bro kia... will be one of those of the "Unhappy groups" just a example ?(haha..)
(He got $..But cannot travel far... if cannot gamble at Home ?
i am sure... he won't feel happy..
unless he prepared to throw money into local slots' clubs that hardly pays well)

You can see the result..since our casino started operations..few years back ?

Cruise ships gambling is affected and KL (Malaysia) Genting has suffered heavy losses

(nowadays...most previous KL goers are given "free room, stay, makan, perks" at every month
to entice them to drop in..as and when .)

Me and wife.. got free stay at every month ..even on CHinese New year super peak period which is unheard of in the past
based on my low playing percentage..but we do not take up the offer monthly.

anyway...

just have to control ourselves at the slots and tables..(Play within budgets)

i be going there this coming weekends at KL Genting..

my quota..
is still "once a month , per visit..not less than $1k bankroll , if possible.."

goodluck!
and have a nice weekends

The IR casino licences expire in the middle of this year 2015.

Assuming the government renew the licences for some period of time, new terms and conditions would be imposed.

The gov. did highlight to the local that if they want to gamble they have to pay $100 to the gov. upfront first. This fail miserable as the number of problem gamblers visiting the casinos shot up dramatically.

The first order of business for the gov. now is to solve this casino problem gambling situation once and for all.

On a side note RWS did not fulfil their promise of putting on the dolphin show.
MBS got the licence because of their boasting about their convention expertise. But their convention business only brought in $10M per year in revenue and is far short of the gov. expectation.

This game is just another clone of 5D and 5K (more similar to the deluxe versions which is available for 5K at RWS now).

after hearing all the miw debates and suggestion, this would be my guess for the new entry system. all locals cannot go in unless u opt in i.e apply, go for interview, show reasonable cause like finances, dependants. once approved u will have 'passport' to pay 100(maybe higher now); 2000 will be scrapped. may also impose time or money change limit like some countries now doing.

We are all assuming that there will be a change when they might just leave things as status quo. There feasibility and implementation issues to consider and also the time factor. One major consideration is the current annual levy system - if there is indeed going to be a major change of policy which comes into effect in june, shouldn't they stop issuing annual levy purchases 12 months in advance? For e.g. what is going to happen to players who renew or buy an annual levy now and they suddenly change entry requirements in june?

If this happens, confirm most of the locals will stop patronizing the 2 IRS. Who is going to go for stupid interview b4 entering casino. They would just rather go leisure world or genting. So only foreigners will enter, but I think they wouldn't play as much as we do. Most of the time these foreigner will just see see look look.

Why not just close down the whole damn casino even better, rather doing all those stupid interview to curb entry. Once a gambler will always be a gambler, no way to control.

how many to interview and who's paying for the manpower, administrative and logistics cost ?

my est...on a daily basis... at least 1000 per day visit are those on daily levy ?

1000 X$100 = $100 000 per day
( 3 million $ into the pocket monthly )

how much more should they charge ?

if you feel the machines are tight ?
as it's "press 1 gets 1 free press" next !

spend 6 hrs travel to KL..(take 3 days leave or as Holidays off ?)

your cost is almost same as your $100 levy ?
