IMO, there will not be black and white to say the uniform service cannot go...but those in uniform service know better not to go:wink:

Friends with high rank in uniform service keeps donating through SMS during the public charity shows. I asked them why, they said so that it will show in their tax return and donch know what tracking.....good for career advancement.

Some por lum pa point scorer will sureely keep coming up with suggestions to use the statistics collected at the casinos...i.e. information to MOM, professional bodies etc.

If got to go gamble, go genting or regional better, IMO.

I heard those in civil service are banned from the casinos. The ones in uniforms are confirmed barred from going.

As for the rest, perhaps they are too worried about being PROFILED IN DETAIL if they visit the casinos. may affect their performance bonuses and promotion.

S'poreans as usual KPKB but in the end also go.

Heard from some friends that went yesterday (CNY Day1) at 8pm that it was indeed crowded.....but RWS created this crowed feeling by opening very few gaming tables.


thats the trouble with sinkees - they have no resolve, heart very 'soft' (for all the wrong reasons) ... LKY knows this and takes full advantage ...

casino is about sex party clubs shops food alcohol and etc.......all kinds of entertainment to cater for everyone

party people will go there for the clubs to celebrate their bachelor, birthday party or etc....

shoppers will go there for their first class shoppings..

food lovers will go there for their top of the class gourmet...

sports lovers will go there for large screening of sports and enjoy a couple of beers while watching....and there are even tourist who goes there to enjoy taking photos of the unique building designs..like Caesar palace, vatican and etc....

gamblers go there to gamble and also the above mentioned activities as well.....

and the list goes on...thats y people like going to vegas and now macau is following suit...its all in one

not sure about how sg casino will succeed

They say they are targeting 13millions visitor in 1 year.
Which mean 35,000 per day
when marina, it will be 70,000 per day
How to attract 70,000 per day?

Just an opinion on why they opened in a strange period of time.

They probably opened on CNY because they know that people are too busy elsewhere. With the low base to start with, in the comming months they can boast that visitors number have increased hundreds,...thousands percent.

Breaking News: RWS Chairman T K Lim was so disappointed with yesterday's grand-opening failure, and he got so
desperate that in the evening he decided to hand out between 10ks to 20ks complimentary chips to all his existing
Gentings KL's & Star Cruise customers to gamble at the casino.

casinos by birthname are gambling dens, it is a dirty place.

without stanley ho type of gambling dens, sentosa or marina will fail, this is a fact.

Dirty place needs dirty business, most big time gamblers are crooks in nature.
Casinos need them.

Singapore is too late for this sleazy business.

trying to coy the dirty place will go nowhere.

Afterall the 100 dollars go to PAP or genting?

It is true, genting or marina set to fail unless PAP open up at the expense of the local people.

success of the gambling dens has a hefty price to pay ......especially in a flat -land sinkapore where MRT and Taxi can bring you there in minutes.

They can report what they want to, but just wait and see, see the best at last.

maybe that is the reason for the huge crowd last night. my frens got all flustered with the long queues and crowded tables.

they were so disappointed that they cannot play much so they are going again tonight! I am going too.

anyway, Lim Kok Thay no reason to panick. THis is CNY for goodness's sake. THe tourists were not aware casino is opening. RWS should have announced immediately the date of opening when they got the license instead of dilly dallying. The crowds will come in soon.

There is no real issue. The Singapore Flyer is a good example. It is still a going concern.

All that needs to be done is to position the casinos as tourist attractions and every day, every hour you will find them packed. We have rich neighbours.

They do not need to rely on Singaporeans in their business strategy. In many ways, this is good for us. The foreigners come here to donate their money. Seldom do people win at casinos in the long run. They bring their social problems back to their own country. We keep their money.
