A Blessing or Curse?

Nope. Not presently allowed.

Do RWS and MBS sell such packages to help Singaporeans offset the $100 levy?

 

[TracyTan866]

Nope. Not presently allowed.

It is difficult to enforce such rules

do travel agencies give benefits to their clients to entice them to go to RWS and MBS?

 

[TracyTan866]

Of course you can but much easier to roll yourself. If you are travelling as a family or as a group, you can always pass it to those who want to gamble. The problem with most people is that they carry on gambling after all the nn has been converted to cash and often do not stop until all the money has been lost. The cheap food/room then become very expensive !

that's very true.

but assuming a non gambler, who has good self control, wants just a cheap holiday, he can actually go to Genting and buy the tour package and sell the NN chips to other gamblers

Not mainly lah:p
go genting to relex relex, if got good movie then watch lor.

you went to genting mainly to watch movies?

Hi Aurvandil, thanks for the link, i will visit Gotong Jaya during my next trip.

GP = Genting Point, given to gambler when they gamble in Genting, the points can be use to exchange for free hotel room, food etc.(unlike SBF points )
NN chip = non-negotiable chip, you cannot cash-out these chips, must use it to gamble. if you win, they will give you the normal chips. Casino offer NN chip as package with free food or/and hotel room.

Gambling is a Choice.

Thanks, Hellboy.

The cinema looks old from outside. Is it as good as GV's 112 at Katong or the cineplexes in SG?

What do you like most in Genting?

Gambling is a Choice.

That's true...initially. When addicted, gambling can become a compulsion.

have you talked to a drug addict at Half way house?

 

[Cestbon]

Every day we human are gambling.
Cross road gambling with life eg. vehicle might hit/lighting might strike.
Just that gambling in Casino is on the higher end of risk.

Indeed. It all comes down to how well you manage risk. Is Warren Buffett a gambler?

you shd talk to an addict and know his story

I had friends who were addicts both locally and abroad.

It is easy for outsiders to say it is his "choice". The pap said that too. That's too simplistic. Try visit One Hope Centre and hear their stories.

 

[Agoraphobic]

...............................is that truly a blessing or a curse?

Peesai, to be a world-class city will need such kinds of "entertainment." How can there not be a casino in Peesai when there's one in a neighbouring moslem country? She is going to have the casinoes, international rock/pop concerts, theatricals, operas, etc. If not, how?

Blessing or Curse? They don't call Las-Vegas Sin-City for nothing.

One just need not feel compelled to visit just because its there. One can find entertainment in music, literature, sports, hobbies, nature, etc. and not indulge in something as ugly as casino gambling.

Cheers!

Are you implying that you made the right choice? And your friends made the wrong choice in life?

I am glad you sound very certain of yourself. My question was "is it a blessing that SG is getting $2B gambling revenue" from RWS and MBS?
