Abstract
This study identifies the socio-demographic factors that affect residents' perceptions of casino development in Singapore and how these perceptions affect support for the development. The results identified that gender, age, marital status, number of children, education, length of residency, religion and frequency of gambling significantly affected perceptions of the casino development. The level of perceived positive and negative impacts significantly affected support for the casino development. This is the first in-depth study of resident attitudes towards the newly developed casino in Singapore and contributes to the resident attitudes literature, social exchange theory and quality of life (QOL) studies in a gambling destination.
