Casinos in Singapore

Today i would like to talk about the growing number of Casinos in Singapore.

We all know that Casinos accommodates certain types of gambling activities, and are known for real entertainment. The Casinos are supposed to be money makers and job creators, but in many peoples' minds they are just a gambling centre.

As for me, i agree with those people. And that means i condemn Casinos.

Gambling addiction does increase over time and the crime, divorce, abuse, and death tolls to feed this addiction also increase. I heard from the news that one woman lost 200 thousand dollars in gambling and another was jailed because she stole money. One person from one of the youtube videos i watched said,"Gambling is like holding your own fate in your own hands". That is what the addicts think and they get hooked on after gambling became more than a game. Another one of the videos said "Whenever you gamble, your integrity tumbles" as whenever you gamble you will have to fake it and lie to get through.

I recently read on a newspaper on how a wife and mother's sad testimony of how her husband's gambling addiction destroyed her home and family and turned a loving husband and father into a man she no longer recognized. This also tells us that compulsive gambling is not cool and is no game but a growing addiction that is ready to destroy your future and change you completely.

I also heard from NPR websites stating that "addiction is a quiet monster" and i completely agree with the quote. My parents told me that Casinos may be the cause for tourism increase, but is also the cause for economic woes as a lot need to be done in building casinos and that is why Las Vegas, the gambling centre, is one of the world's most environmental problematic countries.

After hearing so much from me, what is your opinion. Don't be shy to type them out in the comments. Thank you!
