Gambler's fault or Casino's fault

Many people claimed that the casinos in Singapore should not be set up as compulsive gamblers might take the chance to sneak in and gamble all their money away. Although the government has tried its best to deter Singaporeans from entering the casinos such as imposing a fine on Singaporeans who enter, some still say that it is not enough. However, I personally feel that this is caused by the gambler's lack of self-control and his inability to stop his addiction.

The casinos itself, has a lot of advantages to the country. First of all, it will be attractive to tourists in other countries as Singapore explores more innovative ways to make Singapore a excellent tourist attraction. In addition, it helps to improve the economy. From the casino operators, the government is expected to collect tax revenue thus this adds more money to the government. Legalising gambling could also hamper the growth of underground activities. Impulsive gamblers might turn to illegal gambling dens to satisfy their needs.

However, gambling is a malicious habit. A person who is addicted to gambling will first be addicted to it as he gains a lot of money through it. However, as he continues to gamble, he would begin to lose again and again. However by then, the gambler cannot stop gambling, and would still continue to gamble and give reasons to assuage his conscience. Therefore it would definitely be more of the gambler's fault than the casino's fault
