No, if you look at the casinos here in the Philippines. The owners of the casinos such as Resort world, Solaire, City of Dreams and etc. are Business tycoons. They are relatively rich before they were born. Though, I don't know the story about other casinos outside our country. I must say that the possibilities that some of the casinos in other part of the world are handled or owned by a Syndicates or criminals with the support of a High profile politician.
