开业3天 6万人进出赌场

来源:星洲日报 2010.02.17 (新加坡)开业3天,进出赌场的人数已达6万人! 名胜世界公布的最新数据显示,截至周二(2月16日)晚上8时,单是光顾赌场的赌客已有6万人,不包括参观环球影城 (Universal Studios)及名胜世界其他设施的人数。 赌场上周日中午12时18分准时开业,当晚6时已有6500名赌客,到了第二天赌客人数已高达3万5000人,周二单日(截至晚上8时)则有另外2万500人进场。 由此推算,农历新年的3天长假,赌场共迎来了6万名赌客。 本地赌客比外国人多 赌场热潮开始降温,今日(周三,2月17日)早上当地赌客比外国赌客多。 另外,记者周三早上走访名胜世界赌场,发现从上午9时半至10时15分,短短45分钟内,就有百多名赌客从当地人通道进入赌场,反观外国人通道则人数寥寥,大多是随团游览名胜世界,顺道参观赌场的游客。 周二和周一(2月15日),赌场内外都被赌客挤得水泄不通,不少赌客因等候时间太长而怨声载道,与周三早上的情景判然有别。 许金顺(57岁,机械人员)和太太趁周三孩子上学,特地来赌场参观和过二人世界。 他说︰“我们预料初一初二赌场一定人山人海,刚好那几天也是家庭日,所以直到周三才来赌场看看,果然人比较少。” 在赌场厮杀一夜的刘小姐(40岁,行政人员)说︰“周二和10多个朋友进赌场,等了很久都没法下注,现金出纳柜台也大排长龙,周三早上就有很多空置的赌桌和老虎机,我在出纳柜台只排了45分钟就领到了现钞。” 豪客团分18人一队进赌场 消息人士透露,豪客们在小赌时,往往单鎗匹马,各自作战,但是在下巨大的赌注时,就会群策群力,而且喜欢分成特殊的18人“小纵队”进赌场。 消息人士解释︰“18是‘实发’的谐音,豪客相信这会给他们带来好运,所以每次进场都是18人,进去之后一般会兵分多路,两三个人到一张赌桌下注,但有时也打团体战,20多个人同赌一桌。” 据了解,在周四(2月18日)进赌场前,豪客们都已分别得到风水师的指点。风水师根据他们的生辰八字,算出每人的有利方位和幸运颜色等。  Read More →
