Ice cold casino action!
Lawrence Ho, heir to the Macau casino king Stanley Ho’s vast gambling fortune, has proposed building ski resorts in China. According to the National Post Ho has been quoted as saying “We’ve revolutionized the [gaming] industry in Macau and we know we can do the same thing with the ski industry in China”.
WOW! I never saw that one coming!!! I know there are rumours doing the rounds that the Chinese government might legalise some form of online casinos, but are they ready for hundreds of avid casino and skiing fans converging on ski destinations such as Star Mountain Beijing, Sun Mountain Yabuli and Sky Mountain Beidahu in northern China. For that matter, will the Chinese government even allow casino resorts to be built?
Guess we’ll all just have to wait and see.
