Why it's harder for Singapore casinos to recover debts than its Macau counterparts

There are only three licensed junket operators in the city-state.

A report from CNBC said Singapore casinos have more trouble getting gamblers to pay up than their Macau counterparts.

In Macau, about 200 licensed junket operators provide credit to casino customers and collect the money they owe. But in Singapore, there are only three licensed operators, so gaming losses tend to fall on the casinos, who are then forced to use legal means to get their money back.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
