Do you agree with this statement? Who are classified under vulnerable Singaporeans? Singaporeans residing in HDB flat? Singaporeans earning less than $5000 per month? Fruit machines (slot machines) generate about 65% to 70% annual revenue for casinos in most countries. Do you agree with this statement? Fruit machines are highly addictive. It is designed to get players addicted. It is also a very expensive form of entertainment. Players can lose a few hundred dollars in less than one hour. Players are likely to lose more when they gamble at fruit machine room in local clubhouses situated near HDB estate. Measures have been made to protect vulnerable Singaporeans who frequent casinos. Any measures in the pipeline to protect vulnerable Singaporeans who frequent fruit machine room at local clubhouses?

It started as a form of entertainment. Players get excitement and joy at the initial stage. Problems and depression set in once they are addicted to slot machine gambling. They are not able to stop gambling. They feel helpless and become more frustrated and depressed.

This is your statement.
Don't stray away from it into gambling issues.
Is Singapore turning into a lawless cowboy town because of the Casinos? Yes or No. Answer that.

There is a drop in loanshark harassment cases. We should thanks Police for their continued good works. Since there is no adverse impact on law and order. Is there a need to prevent Singaporeans from getting addicted to gambling by coming up with more measures?
