In recent years, the gambling industry has become popular across Asia.

Macau’s (China) economy depends greatly on this industry, as tax revenue from casinos contributes up to 80% of the government budget.

Singapore’s tourism industry revenue also doubled last year after only 2.5 years of opening the resorts and casinos Marina Bay Sands and Sentosa.

Sentosa is one of two casino locations in Singapore.

Attracted by Singapore’s success, Taiwanese lawmakers are also considering legalizing casinos soon.

However, according to the New York Times, people often only mention the positive effects of casinos, about how casinos will attract foreigners and their money.

Therefore, to protect the vulnerable population from the social consequences of gambling, Singapore has charged a fee of 80 USD for each local person to enter the casino.

Korea also has a similar concept.

However, this country does not ban it completely.

However, indigenous people still contribute a lot to casino revenue.

This crowding has caused many casinos to call for opening their doors to Korean customers, but the Government disagrees on the grounds that Kangwon Land is just a project to revive the economy of the surrounding area.

Nepal and Cambodia implement a 100% casino model for foreigners.

Investing in casinos in Taiwan and Japan can cost several billion USD.
