Casino Control Act

Casino Control Act was recently disclosed by a minister in the Prime Minister's Office.The Casino Control act is said to prevent high frequency gamblers who are in financial distress from even entering the casinos in Singapore by running a background check on every person who visits the casinos more than five times per month to see if these people have any financial distress and if they have,their visits to the casinos will be capped.These new article appeal to me because I am very glad that the Government are trying to make efforts to curb the gambling addiction of these gamblers but I feel that it is doing more worse than good.These high frequency gamblers may not be able to enter Singapore's casinos but they can still go on gambling ships such as Leisure World to satisfy their addiction and this definitely does not boost our economy.I sincerely hope that the Government would review this act and try to make the right adjustments to it.
