Online Casino Hub to be found in Singapore
During the Asian Casinos Executive Summit, which to place this week, the Singapore
News Today remarked that Singapore will optimistically turn into a casino online hub
for the region, with two major land-based casinos in the works, and the option of
the country issuing online casino gaming licenses as well. At the moment,
Philippines is the only Asian country to present legalized online gambling licenses
for online casino venues supplying a hub complete with all of the essential
equipment to offer great services for online gaming companies.

The publication quotes Tom Hall, president of online casino software supplier Play
Tech Asia, as saying: Singapore has fantastic technical support and infrastructure.
Given a choice between the Philippines and Singapore, many will probably prefer
Singapore.' But this could only be true if the government will make legal online
casino operators and online gaming sites. Extra support for Singapore to create a
push to authorize online casinos has to do with the gaming experts' opinions that
online gaming is poised to grow, especially in Asia.

There are many profits, as well as disadvantages, to legalizing online casino spots
in Singapore and in other Asian countries. Every government will have to choose if
the positive aspects of online casino gambling outweigh the negative ones. Much more
research will perhaps be conducted by the government in Singapore regarding this
matter; the fact remains, though, that it could one day be a key hub for online
gaming if it decides to make this business part of its culture.
