Crash highlights Chinese-American gambling market

NEW YORK (AP) -- At age 75, Mon Ling Ng is hard of hearing and often lonely - a resident of Manhattan's Chinatown who finds a way to fill his days: by gambling.

"I go almost every day; it's exciting, and I have company," said Ng, who takes a bus to a casino hours away.

About 30,000 Chinese New Yorkers per week board discount buses that take them from Chinatown to casinos outside the city - buses like the one that crashed on a return trip from a Connecticut casino, killing 15 passengers.
