Are you one of the 7.7 % ?

[kopiuncle]

Only 7.7 per cent of locals here made more than one visit to the two casinos here in the past three years, said the Casino Regulatory Authority (CRA) on Wednesday. The figures were made public for the first time in CRA's latest annual report.

The Authority however did not give a further breakdown on the number of times this group of locals made to the casinos. CRA said that the vast majority of the remaining 92.3 per cent did not visit the casinos at all.

The total number of visits to the casinos by Singaporeans and permanent residents has also dropped, in a sign that the novelty factor could be wearing off, said CRA chairman Richard Magnus in his foreword.

They made a daily average of 17,000 visits last year, down from 20,000 visits when the casinos first opened in 2010. CRA also attributed the drop in the number of casino visits to the effectiveness of its safeguards in deterring vulnerable individuals from problem gambling.

I think the figures dropped because many Singaporeans had been bitten by the gambling bug and some must have suffered severe bleeding financially. The wise will keep away while the fools will continue to bleed - sometimes to death.

some of our brothers here are regulars there. i must have met them there. but gamblers are anonymous. even if they know and recognise you, they will try not to engage you or talk to you. to each his own. gamblers are very pantang one.....some days are good and some days are bad. you win some and you lose some. but in the long run, you will lose....

RWS > MBS.

You'll get lung cancer even from the non-smoking section at MBS. I hated it so much, I left MBS and immediately headed to RWS, paying two levies on the same day.

nobody will want to meet kopi lah

they already ganged up to bash uninvited kopi
the thorn, the scorn and the out-sider....NVM lah
some greats here you cannot touch
touch , you die...turn to dust ...

The figure is only 7.7 pct is because these are ONLY SINGAPORE CITIZEN without the PR....
The government knows when not to add the PRs data in unlike the employment data where they inlcudes PR into locals.
