Rumour had it that as soon as gambling was legalised in Bali a Suharto family member or cohort would turn Discovery (which they owned) into a huge casino, and that was the whole reason behind it's construction.
Gambling is HUGE, if it was set up like Crown or similar with bars/clubs etc I feel it would be a massive success. Look at arrival figures by nation, and look at who frequent casino's. It would be a MAJOR attraction.
Just gossip
