In this photo taken on Thursday, Sept. 6, 2012, construction continues at the Belle Grande building that would house casinos in a $4-billion project on a reclaimed land on Manila Bay in Manila, Philippines. In South Korea, foreign investors are scheduled to break ground next year on a clutch of casino resorts offshore. And on the eastern edge of Russia, authorities plan a resort zone aimed at drawing Chinese high-rollers. The projects are part of a casino building boom rolling across Asia, where governments are trying to develop their tourism markets to capture increasingly affluent Asians with a penchant for gambling.
