Macau’sdominance inworldgaming isunchallengedand increasingandChina rightly
deserves its statusas themost importantnationon theplanet to thegaming industry.

thePhilippines.Thisenigmaticcountryhashad (andcontinues tohave) its fair shareof
trouble, butwealso feel it’sbeenunfairlymalignedover theyears. ThePhilippineshas
a lot toofferandcandefinitelyclaim tobe thesecondgamingcentreofAsia, especially
with fourmoremegaresort casinosdue toopenat PAGCOR city startingnext year. The
other contender for the ‘number two’ titlewould of course be Singaporewith its two
casino behemoths ResortsWorld Sentosa andMarina Bay Sands. But Singapore is a
country new to casinoswithout the rich gaming history of the Philippines.We’ll save
Singapore for a future issue.

所有人都知道中国澳门是《环球博彩》的精神故乡。是的,我们是一个全球性杂
志,触角已延伸到伦敦、拉斯维加斯、多伦多、奥克兰和孟买等地。然而,除了全球
通用语言英语之外,我们杂志的主要语言是中文,并且无疑早在几年前,拉斯维加斯
就将“全球博彩中心”的称号传递给了这座中国城市-澳门。澳门对世界博彩业的主
宰是不容质疑且不断增强的,因此中国当之无愧是世界上对博彩业最重要的国家。
不过很多家庭也会在离家不远处拥有一个“度假第二故乡”。《环球博彩》
家族也不例外,我们的“第二故乡”绝对非菲律宾莫属。这个充满谜团的国家有它
应有的问题(并且问题继续存在),但我们认为过去这些年里它也遭受了不公正的
中伤。凭借博彩业方面的资源,菲律宾绝对可以宣称是亚洲第二个博彩中心,特别
是从明年开始将有四家超级娱乐城在PAGCOR城陆续登场。这个“第二”头衔的另一
个竞争者是新加坡,它拥有两家巨型娱乐场-圣淘沙名胜世界和滨海湾金沙,然而
新加坡对于娱乐场业来说还是个资历尚浅的国家,缺少像菲律宾一样丰富的博彩历
史。我们会将新加坡留给未来的期刊。
非常高兴在此隆重推出本期菲律宾特刊。菲律宾目前最好的娱乐场无疑是马尼
拉名胜世界,它是菲律宾最早的国际级娱乐场。我们将与读者倾囊共享有关这座超
级娱乐城的信息。本期第二篇特写是有关沙滩度假天堂-长滩岛。过去四十年里,
长滩岛在世界最佳沙滩排行中时常榜上有名。很多人宣称这里是世界上最好的沙
滩,并且还有不久在长滩岛开娱乐场的众多谈论。
此外,我们还为读者带来了有关即将到来的橄榄球世界杯的投注评估,这是
新西兰有史以来最大型的体育赛事;驻伦敦的国际足球专家陆逸将与我们分享她
的最爱-利物浦足球俱乐部以及它在英超新赛季中的胜算;当然与往常一样还有
更多精彩内容…
