A News-Worthy Item

I found this image of a poker dealer at an asian casino and it sparked thoughts regarding gambling around the world.  Thearticle below the image gives some insight to the current struggles Las Vegas is enduring when it comes to maintaining casino revenue.  In America, the economy has clearly been at a loss for several years now, which effects even the most wealthy parts of the country.

Asian, however, seems to be developing more and more each day.  As we saw in the movie, "21," a young college student's blackjack cheating abilities are tested in an underground asian gambling hole on a grimy street in Cambridge, MA.  This is a clue to what is occurring over seas in the asian casino communities.

Most likely far less strict when it comes to gambling rules, the Asians are prospering and are becoming the largest gambling market in the world.  This image demonstrates that financial control, also signifying that our economic crisis may have a link to asia's recent casino successes.  At the same time, this allows one to consider our dependency on products of asian laborers as one of the multiple roots for America's diminishing wealth and economy.

The asian's passion for gambling has also been noticed online.  There are many more gaming options online than in the casinos, as well as financial benefits with lower costs.  Despite this, the most popular asian casino spot, Macau, has increased revenue by $15 billion in the last year, boosting the profit by 10%.  Unfortunately, Vegas' continues to fall, hand in hand with Europe.
