- Tuesday, 15 Aug 2006
When American-Asians in neighborhoods around Boston and New York feel like a little gambling fun, they need not look very far. Two rival gambling companies have joined forces to send transport into these neighborhoods to bus gamblers in to their gambling locations for a day out of entertainment and fun, before returning them home in the evening. For a nominal sum, Asian gamblers are provided with a round bus trip, a meal voucher and spending money at the gambling locations.
The gambling companies revealed that they send approximately 100 buses every day to predominantly Asian neighborhoods to bring in the crowds. This number doubles on special holidays such as the Chinese New Year, Christmas and Thanksgiving. The Asian public loves its gambling, although it views this pastime more as a great form of entertainment, and less as a way to make money. By visiting these gambling locations, many residents get to have a great day out, share some quality time with friends and family and take part in some fun.
Online casino gambling companies are fighting tooth and nail to get a piece of the far off Asian market but it seems that on-land gambling companies have a definite advantage when it comes to tapping into the local Asian market. | |
