Well, when there's not enough people patronising the casinos, they probably will give rebates in the form of chips for locals.....
IMO - the levy amount might work both ways. If you price it higher, it could be an effective deterrent. However, it might also have the opposite effect of incentizing the local gamblers to play even more, either just to justify the higher cost of entry, or simply for them to (try) getting enough winnings to earn back their $500 admission fee.
If I am kinda underage, can I get in?

any feedbacks we can discuss here? what do you think about this 100 bucks levy ???
It is fair if all Residents pays the levy.
It is Not fair if some residents pay (Citizens, PRs) while some don't (WP holders, foreign students).
Nope, the levy is collected for the Tote Board, the masters of Singapore Pools and Singapore Turf Club.the S$100 levy goes to CRA(Casino Regulatory Authority), i think. unlikely to go to RWS.

The amount is then used for social or charitable projects.
its not about fairness...its a means of detering Singaporeans from going in. In fact i think the levy should be more than $100. maybe even $500...so that people would really think twice/thrice about going into such places to donate hard earn $.
Consider a Citizen earning $2k, $4k, $10k, $20k/mth or more, having to pay a $100 penalty to enter, while a $400/mth WP holder can enter "Freely"..
