In countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, the gambling industry is mostly owned by the Chinese nationals. In mainland China, gambling is banned. And therefore those who can't travel to Macau normally come to these nations to visit the casinos. It is a mutually beneficial relation, but there are some negatives as well.
Could that mean that most Asian countries, they are the majority owner of those casinos? I didn't know that they have that much casinos although in movies, I used to watch that they really are into gambling.
Growth in organized crime and money laundering are some of the negative side effects.
That's like the corruption that happens.
Asia is too big, and everything there is big, so does gambling industry. Macau is bigger than all other gambling cities, and they wager more money there then anywhere else in the world.
It's how it is when you have huge population and masses, everything that is done is done on a big scale. And of course where is money and people there's corruption, system exploitation, you name it, you can find whatever you want there, for money of course.
