Slinging Singapore: Update and Impact on Other Asian Gaming Venues

These resorts have the potential to tilt the balance of gaming power in Asia – or do they? Panelists discuss the potential success these projects may enjoy from different stakeholders’ perspectives; the impact Singapore may have on Macau, Southeast Asia, and other gaming venues; and the lessons to be learned from Singapore’s unique approach to the introduction of gaming.
