I am sure we all grew up with action movies that were set in a casino. One example is the famous James Bond movie Casino Royale (2006). Well, in the year 2025 gambling casinos are still being affected by films, series and media content.
Melco Resorts is a gambling company, one of the biggest in Asia and is based in Hong Kong. They have numerous properties all over Asia and some in Europe. They are predicting that with the release of the new season of the series
The White Lotus, set at the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui in Thailand, that Thailand will be visited by more gamblers. Melco Resorts is looking at Thailand to further expand their casino empire and believes that a popular show can invite and entice tourists into visiting Thailand and its casinos and resorts.
Thailand is just finishing up their casino law and if approved, 5 casinos will be allowed to operate in the country one being owned by Melco Resorts. Do you think that a show can influence not only the tourists but as well as the government's perception and decisions about gambling and casinos? Or do you think the impact of a film or a show isn't enough to sway people?
Its hilarious because they are right now thinking of banning Polymarket on one hand but now they are thinking on the other hand we can buy into the White Lotus show and profit from the tourism and gambling industry. It honestly makes a lot of sense to me what they're doing now. They don't want the money to be in and out like the smoke in the wind, they want to use the gambling and tourism opportunity the show poses on the region for gain & honestly maybe they'll buy crypto with that money hahhahahhahah
