...bankers or policemen. "Working in a casino will have a bad influence on them," Ng says. There may be little, though, that he can do. Bruce Springsteen, in his classic song Atlantic City, tells of the dangerous mix of vice and hope that the casinos brought to the New Jersey shore. "Down here it's just winners and losers and don't get caught on the wrong side of that line," he sings. In Macau, too many are already on the wrong side...
