Same goes for the bars, if you're regular there then unlikely you'll get scammed.
I think many still do not really understand the concept of those bars in japan town (its similar to jap bars in japan etc)
Basically you get charged a "seat fee" / otoshi, then almost every item in the bar is add-on, eg. mixer, drinks for ladies, using of private room, coins for dart machine etc... i think only thing free is using the toilets
Some bars are more aggressive to push you to spend more either by getting the girls to keep drinking with you or some might even give a little perk like light groping etc, while some are less (more like talking bar). End day, there's no special provided in there, anything else you can try nego-ing with the girls direct and see if she will follow you back.
Long story short, don't be shy to ask for prices upfront. I have seen some Sporeans bros go to jap bars for first time, never asked about prices / system etc and behave like big boss. Only to be slapped with a hefty bill at the end of the night and then complain/create a scene
