       lived in Macau because the numbers of citizens (672,000) are
           geographical and natural
       comparatively lesser than the neighboring city such as Hong Kong
       (7,524,100) or even Zhuhai (1,765,400) (Statistics and Census Service,
           features of the city
       2019; Census and Statistics Department,2019; Statistics Bureau of
       Zhuhai,2018). Moreover, casino is only opened to the people who are 21

       years above, the most important issue is that the workers in casino are
       now banned to get in the casino after getting off work (Oriental Daily
       News, 2012). The coming plan of gambling development is also going to

       limit bets on local residents or levy casino entry fees (Oriental Daily News,
       2012). It is more difficult for the citizens to have entertainment. Thus, the

       economic development of Macau should be relied on a large amounts of
       tourists who go to Macau for having entertainment.
