GD is a better fit for Singapore. They will do things a lot more like the Nevada model there. Macau is years from being on a pure Nevada model, they are still going to be doing the junket business for another 5 years at least.
Singapore will be a better market for the two winners because the taxes will be far lower and the competition will be a lot less intense.

You can't get a seat at the baccarat table. You got to bet over people sitting on the table's shoulder to make a wager.
Plus the dealer doesn't take 5% when you win on banker. They make you pay tips for winning. Unlike Atlantic City or Vegas, you tip when you like.
In Macau casinos, you have to tip.
Macau casinos are too crowded and too many loansharks hanging over your shoulder.

A McDonald's meal and other fast-food meals are a little less than SG$10 which is about US$6. The restaurants in the hotel range from SG$32 for breakfast to SG$55 for a dinner. I get US$60 per day for food so I can spend about SG$90 per day.
A 6-pack of beer is SG$16 which is the equivalent of US$10. I bought a pint of Tiger beer at the bar in the hotel and it was SG$18+tax! I bought a Tiger beer at a different bar and it was only SG$10.

I hope to go to Thailand after testing the prototype. There should be some time between the end of testing and the beginning of when the equipment comes in. I may be put on a temp assignment for a couple days so I don't know for sure.

I've heard good things about China. I hear it's very cheap to visit. I hope to stop by Beijing on my way home.
