No, really. Just ask this guy:

On a recent Saturday night, Kevin Yu played a few hands of baccarat at the Trump Taj Mahal, then headed to the casino arena to catch the Hong Kong singing sensation Twins.

To Yu's surprise, the postmidnight concert was sold out. "Wow, so many Asians!" said Yu, 45, a Hong Kong native and truck driver who lives in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Asians are way more likely to be compulsive gamblers than anybody else, so the casinos are doing the only sensible thing: Marketing to them as much as possible!
