- eru 3y agoSince I brought up Singapore: We have casinos here. Our government is an interesting mix between laissez-faire and paternalistic with a strong Puritan streak. (I don't think it's actually of Puritan origin, but a parallel evolution from Chinese culture? Would be interesting to look into the origins.) The result is that foreigners can enter the casinos willy-nilly, and lose all their money as they please. But as a local you have to pay an entry levy of 150 Singapore dollars, just to remove any illusion that you might be come out ahead when you visit. You can also tell that government that they should ban you from entry completely (if you know you have a gambling problem). Curiously enough, your relatively can also do that for (or rather, to) you.
