Singapore for years has been developing into a worldwide destination, and now the island city-state is opening their doors to their very first casino. The casino has opened up this weekend on Chinese New Year and the cards appear as though Singapore will once again be rising, as high-rollers all over the world begin to check out the city’s newest attraction.

Singapore is predicting that the Resorts World at Sentosa by Genting Singapore will greatly help the economy via tourism revenues. This will mean a booast to the luxurious services.

The resort building of the Resorts World at Sentosa totals $4.7 billion and is the very first of two casinos that the city-state has put into operation in efforts to create reputability as a manufacturing and banking hub, hoping to consider the limelight from Macau, Malaysia and Australia. And, the talk of growing to the United States has been discussed.

The introducing of the casino has had visitors streaming in- graciously greeted by a traditional cultural lion dance. On the foyer, five employees posed as Roman statues, with one holding a giant gambling chip, another a huge duplicate of a deck of cards, and a third a huge replica of a die.

Foreigners were in high numbers and local residents appeared too, however, with the $70 charge to local residents, many passed the scene. It’s all a part of the government campaign to discourage residence from the addiction of gambling.

Having a rural population wealthy in millionaires, the Resorts World at Sentosa is expected to bring in a lot more to the area. At the least, the inclusion of the casino is expected to double visitor rate to 17 million to the city-state by 2015 building a substantial increase in tourism income.
