Bitter contention over legalising casinos in the kingdom may be closer to a resolution than many people think with the release of a report citing overwhelming public support for the idea.
Essential legal groundwork for casinos could be laid before parliament finishes its term early next year.
The report, prepared by a committee formed on the order of the House of Representatives, could prompt legislation needed to bring "entertainment complexes", a euphemism for casinos, into reality. The House committee has been hard at work for months amid debate over what legal recognition of gambling could spell for society.
