Pop star loses nearly S$2mil at MBS
Celebrity Gambler
Taiwanese pop star Jay Chou lost nearly S$2mil at Marina Bay Sands Casino in Singapore, Nanyang Siang Pau reported. The superstar had visited the casino during his concert tour in the republic last month. He gambled off between S$100,000 and S$200,000 per bet. In just two days, Chou lost almost S$2mil playing bacarrat. A customer of the casino said Chou was accompanied by his manager and male friends. According to the customer, Chou had good etiquette on the gambling table and he only wanted to be served by ‘aunties’.
Singapore’s biggest loser?
Apparently Jay Chou isn’t the biggest loser in Singapore as a local Singaporean man lost S$26mil in a three-day gambling spree at the casino in Resorts World Sentosa (RWS). The unlucky gambler plans to sue the casino for loaning him a huge sum of money to gamble without first checking his financial position. The businessman is director of Far Ocean Sea Products, a seafood processing and trading company operating out of Fishery Port Road in Jurong. According to a legal document, the man was loaned S$500,000 for gambling by the casino in March and the loan was later increased to S$2mil the following month. When his losses exceeded S$4mil, his girlfriend cried and begged the casino not to loan him any more money but in spite of that, the casino staff told him that he could continue getting loans although he had exceeded the credit limit.

Online Casino Canada [Adv]
Have you ever wondered what the best way is to choose the optimal online casino Canada to play at? Have you ever wondered what makes one online casino better than another? After all, the Canadian gaming market is unique and has specific requirements that their players demand. There are many factors, but the following seem to be the most important to Canadian players.
Specificity to Canadian Players
Many online casino players in Canada like to play in an online casino Canada that is designed specifically for them. For some reason, they don’t like playing in online casinos designed for US or UK players. It is important for Canadians to find an online casino that is focused on bringing them the level of service they deserve, and not just being an afterthought to bigger player bases in other countries.
Game Selection
Canadian players have very specific game preferences that are unique from other places in the world. The two most popular online casino games in Canada are roulette and blackjack. If an online casino Canada doesn’t focus on these games, there is a good chance that a Canadian player will not sign up and play. A small selection of other games is also important, but having a good selection of blackjack and roulette is essential.
Gaming Platform
Finally, the gaming platform is very important to Canadian online casino players. Canada is a bilingual country, and a large portion of the online gambling population in Canada is from Quebec, so having a platform that is in both English and French is almost essential.
Choosing an online casino in Canada can be a difficult task for Canadians since they are a unique gaming market and they have very specific requirements. But, more and more online casinos are starting to cater to the Canadian market and giving players what they want and need. If you are a Canadian player and are looking for an online casino to meet your needs, there is probably an online casino out there that is perfect for you.
Casino Tips: Baccarat irregularities
Below a list of irregularities that may occur during Baccarat at Marina Bay Sands. These irregularities will usually render the current game void, which often means the play will be done over again.
If a foreign card is found in the course of a game:
- The current round of play shall be void; and
- All results of the previous games will stand.
When more than two cards are dealt to the “Player” or “Banker” hand on the initial deal, and the hand cannot be reconstructed, the round of play shall be void.
In the event that two or more cards are simultaneously drawn from the shoe or device and it is not possible to ascertain the order of the cards drawn during the initial deal, the round of play shall be void.
If there are insufficient cards in the shoe to complete a round of play, the round of play shall be void.
After the Dealer has announced “No more bets”, no wager may be placed or increased and any wager so placed or to the extent increased will be refused and/or will not be honoured.
After the Dealer has announced “No more bets”, no wager may be withdrawn and any wager withdrawn shall be won or lost based on the game results.
