Well, it’s inevitable that I end up writing a “obligatory” article on the feng shui of a casino, in this case The Marina Bay Sands Singapore. 
It is well known that casinos around the world utilise the principles of feng shui (yes, even the western ones) to further enhance their odds against its patrons (namely, you). Even without the use of feng shui, statistically speaking, the odds are already stacked against the player to benefit the House the moment he or she sits down. It’s like flipping a coin that is designed to open heads one thirds of the time while tails two thirds of the time and the player can only bet on heads.
Anyway back to the feng shui of the casino…
Since the casino (the clam shell looking thing in the middle) is the main focus, everything else is built around it. Looking at the two pictures above, notice the similarities? The 3 hotels acting like a “backing mountain” (tortoise) with the left and right buildings acting as “support mountains” (tiger and dragon) while the casino itself facing the open waters (phoenix).
Notice how most casinos have red decors as a major feature? Red is symbolic in feng shui as an auspicious colour. By the way it is also proven that people will actually gamble more and make riskier bets when exposed to the colour red. Look at the ceiling decoration. Don’t they look like two fishes swimming in a circle in the form of yin-yang symbols? Incidentally fish in chinese is pronounced as “yu” which exactly sounds like another chinese word for “overabundance” (of money).
Maybe I will write an article next on how to improve your odds agianst the House using feng shui when you decide to go play a hand or two. Heh.
