It projected Singaporean revenues to hit us$ 2.8 billion in 2010 and us$ 5.5 billion in 2011. This would mean that by next year, Singapore's share of the market would leapfrog Australian us$ 2.8 billion and South Korean us$ 2.5 billion, to be the second largest in the Asia Pacific behind Macau's us$ 28.4 billion.

"Singapore has made a dramatic entry to the casino gaming market," said Greg Unsworth, PwC Singapore's Technology, Infocomm, Entertainment & Media Industry Leader.
