It was during Chinese New Year, so most visitors are Chinese (Chinese from all over the world).
The grand entrance of the casino, a sportcar awaiting everyone! to be won by jackpot!
It is indeed very crowded (people mountain people sea). The main color of interior decor was red as to celebrate the Chinese New Year 2010.
This counter is totally useless as we don't need ticket to enter a casino! (later on this counter is transformed into Information counter)
There were many many gigantic beautiful hanging lights all over the hall in the casino.
The regulation is that all Singaporean or Permanent Residents must pay a SGD100 as casino entry levy (per entry basis!). Looking at the long queue then you will realise that although this policy is to prevent the local from becoming addicted in gambling which will lead to severe social problem, but the locals are just too rich to pay the levy!
Another factor is, when ones are ready to gamble in casino they are ready with the hundreds or even thousands of dollars, this SGD100 is just small matter for those people.
