Singapore's first casino opened for business Sunday as the first punter was allowed into the gaming section of Resorts World Sentosa complex. The opening to be followed within months by a second casino resort is part of a multi-billion-dollar effort to transform Singapore's tourism industry.
The doors to the cavernous and carpeted casino were thrown open to the public at 12:18 pm on the first day of the Year of the Tiger in the Chinese lunar calendar. When pronounced in the Cantonese dialect, 12:18 sounds like "prosperity". A middle-aged Singaporean woman was the first gambler allowed in, followed by an initial crowd of about 200.
The US$4.4-billion resort features Southeast Asia's first Universal Studios movie theme park, which also opened for a week of sneak previews from Sunday.
Singapore's second casino complex, Marina Bay Sands, is being completed by US-based Las Vegas Sands and is expected to open in April. Officials hope the casinos will help Singapore achieve its target of 17 million visitors a year generating more than US$21 billion by 2015, boosting the services sector and reducing the role of manufacturing in the economy.
