Sept. 10 (Bloomberg) — Ronnie Chan, chairman of Hang Lung
Properties Ltd., Hong Kong’s fifth-biggest developer by market
value, said the two casino-resorts in Singapore will fail
because they won’t be able to attract high-rollers.
Las Vegas Sands Corp., the casino company controlled by
billionaire Sheldon Adelson, and Genting Singapore Plc, a unit
of Asia’s biggest listed gambling operator, are building
Singapore’s first two casinos.
“The big rollers are what make money in casinos, they will
never come to Singapore, it’s a family entertainment” location.
“You think big-rollers will go to Singapore where they
have teeth and fangs coming out sideways? There are too many
rules. I was in Sentosa island, I really think that it’s going
to be a flop.
“The whole integrated entertainment industry, I’m worried
for them. The good thing about Singapore is that if you flop,
you’re given a second chance.”
