It's an impact. It might not be that big but it can still affect the tourist amount in their place. Las Vegas has gained a lot of popularity due to the movies and advertisements. Some might not even have gone there but because they saw how cool the place is with movies and streamers they now have the goal to try and visit the place.
Now, popular TV series is truly addictive and Alexandra Daddario of The White Lotus is so damn hot, that's a big plus for that series. I think showing the areas in Thailand really made a big impact for tourists to come and this kind of thing urges viewers to try and visit and experience how nice the place it.
Topic: Media's influence on perception of gambling - page 6. (Read 1078 times)
Do you think that a show can influence not only the tourists but as well as the government's perception and decisions about gambling and casinos? Or do you think the impact of a film or a show isn't enough to sway people?
I think being set in a country where showcasing the casino ( looks, visual, and ambiance) will definitely attract some new users or gamblers. People often search if they saw an amazing casino place from a movie and look for it. Meaning their excited to know where and what is that place. With that interest of course their probably visit or go there if they given chance or time to drop off there.

Depends on how well the film would do? It can have an impact yes I won't deny that. Films usually have that much power when it's incredibly good and enticing for people, but it NEEDS to be a successful film in the first place. If that's a tick, then I reckon it should be fine to assume tourists would flood. Now personally I don't think these said tourists would be gamblers though. Like, do you really think the majority would choose to leave their homes who play online (or those who have one near them) cause of one film? Hell nah. Still, these tourists "may" try gambling once or twice, I reckon that's enough for the casino to consider as profit.
Thailand is just finishing up their casino law and if approved, 5 casinos will be allowed to operate in the country one being owned by Melco Resorts. Do you think that a show can influence not only the tourists but as well as the government's perception and decisions about gambling and casinos?

Media and influencers are powerful tools to convince people but if there is also a drive by private institutions and the government, it can counter the impact of gambling addiction.
If gambling is legal in one country, there should also be a drive in educating the general public of its effect; the same thing is true for liquor and smoking. its legal here in our country, but there's a drive on their harmful effects.
There should be balance because the government will suffer if they make money from the taxes coming from gambling but spend it to rehabilitate its people or its effect.
More or less the show will give a positive impact to Thailand tourism and it will increase people's interest to gamble in casinos in Thailand. However, related to government's perception and decisions on gambling regulation, it entirely depends on how the gambling industry gives impact to the country and how to the society, because the gambling industry can be like a double-edged sword, it can give positive and negative impact, so the government is more careful about this regulation, even though it can give high tax and job potential to the society.
Well, I think you can influence the government when your offer is tempting and they have hopes of good profitability from your invention. The series would promote Thailand as a place with wide variety of tourist activities(gambling inclusive) and would attract more tourists who are gamblers to try it out. Perception drives patronage. If the masses have a good perception of your product, it's more likely to sell, just like Bitcoin, the moment Trump mentioned that it would be used as a strategic reserve asset, the perception inclined on the positives and we saw the pump that followed upon his victory.
Same with gambling, if they promote a decently cool perception about gambling, and the government approves it, then people can come out openly and gamble in the casinos since most of them do it secretly. Would be more like a liberation for them. Currently their legal gambling activities are limited to horse races and government sponsored lotteries.

I think if you can influence a government through a show or a TV series, then it's time to change that government. As for tourists, of course, the TV series is quite capable of popularizing this type of recreation among them. And it works, not only with casinos, it generally works in many areas of life. In fact, this is an advertisement that encourages you to join something, a phenomenon, a community, etc. and this, in turn, will increase your status or make your life better. That's what advertising really sells, not just a vacation or a casino. Emotions are for sale. A television series can evoke the right emotions, and this is its main function.
The people who get swayed by media are often the ones who are going to visit that service. So it might bring in new gamblers and excite the existing gamblers. Natives of Thailand might wink twice when they near the location but never visit at all.
It will have some effect on the popularity of casinos and how public sees it. Shows can have good and bad effects, so it is tough to make a firm conclusion right away. Tourism industry is big in Thailand and so is the casino - basically these two are the reasons why the country if running.

I am sure we all grew up with action movies that were set in a casino. One example is the famous James Bond movie Casino Royale (2006). Well, in the year 2025 gambling casinos are still being affected by films, series and media content.
Melco Resorts is a gambling company, one of the biggest in Asia and is based in Hong Kong. They have numerous properties all over Asia and some in Europe. They are predicting that with the release of the new season of the series The White Lotus, set at the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui in Thailand, that Thailand will be visited by more gamblers. Melco Resorts is looking at Thailand to further expand their casino empire and believes that a popular show can invite and entice tourists into visiting Thailand and its casinos and resorts.
Thailand is just finishing up their casino law and if approved, 5 casinos will be allowed to operate in the country one being owned by Melco Resorts. Do you think that a show can influence not only the tourists but as well as the government's perception and decisions about gambling and casinos?
