Singapore
Traditionally conservative Singapore surprised a lot of people when they decided to legalize casinos a few years back in order to give a huge boost to their tourism business. Wait, did I say casinos? I meant to say “Integrated Resorts”.
Singapore created what has now become a great buzz word in the gaming industry - “Integrated Resorts”. By emphasazing that these new resorts are a lot more than just casinos, Singapore, and now many other Asian countries, are making the gaming business more palatable for many conservative and moderate citizens.
And the term Integrated Resort really is a lot more than just window dressing. In Singapore, the casinos were required to make up less than just 5% of each complex’s total space. As you’ll see when you browse the two Singapore casinos listed below, there really are many entertainment, travel, and tourism aspects “integrated” into each casino complex that makes the resort a one-stop, something for everyone, entertainment center.
