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.
