The success of the casino strategy is crucial for President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, who completes one year in office next month and has vowed to improve the lives of ordinary Sri Lankans after the devastating economic collapse of 2022 and 2023.

While other countries are trying to ban gambling in their countries, there are countries like Sri Lanka who is trying to use gambling as a way to revive their economy. They are aiming to attract gamblers from India and China to contribute to their tourism. Do you think this will be effective? Do you think it is possible to revive a failing economy just from gambling revenue? Would you be willing to travel to Sri Lanka to gamble?

Bro, to say that casinos will help to revive an economy is like using duct tape on a sinking ship.. lol  Cheesy. Gambling tourism may for sure bring in some fast money however it can not be a long term solution to the deep financial problems of a country. Sri Lanka can surely make some money if Indian or Chinese high rollers come there however what happens when trends change or another crisis strikes? The gambling revenue is too erratic to be completely dependent on it. I think that instead of surviving on these roulette spins they should try & make some strong industries. I would never travel there just for gambling, at least till the time they do not add whole package of cool beaches & good vibes Tongue,, otherwise it is just another casino trip.
