Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said the government had decided to give the go-ahead for two casinos - on Marina Bay and on Sentosa resort island.

The question of legalising casinos had sparked an unprecedented public debate in Singapore, with almost 30,000 people signing a petition against the idea.

But Mr Lee said the casinos were necessary to help Singapore attract more tourists.

"We want Singapore to have the x-factor - that buzz that you get in London, Paris or New York," he said, saying that his country was in danger of becoming a "backwater".

The casinos, which will be operational by 2009, are central to Singapore's goal of doubling the number of tourists to 17 million a year.
