with similar ethnic and cultural heritages, label meanings or
viewpoints toward the universal developments of casino gambling.
This manuscript attempts to provide an explorative examination of
the social, economic, and environmental impacts of casino
gambling in two Asian regions: Singapore and Macau. It is crucial
for strategy makers in governmental departments, casino man-
agers, and academic researchers that the pros and cons of casino
developments are made clear because this would allow the
development of accessible approaches while minimizing the
potentially negative impacts (Wan, Li, & Kong, 2011).
