FALSE. There's this perception that only moneyed people spend time at casinos to burn money as a diversion, according to a habitué.

TRUE. The not-so-wealthy, which include subsistence gamblers, hangers-on, and some pretty faces who may have other things in mind other than placing bets, also abound in these places, the habitué said.

IN CEBU. The show money policy, at least in Cebu, has not been in effect for a long time now, thus attracting even those who have no money to speak of, the habitué said.
