The Seven Best Locations in the World for Gambling

Despite the fact that prices have climbed over the past few years, there are typically more flights to each location than previously. And with airlines and hotels vying for customers online, there are still accessible ways for mobile gamblers to visit some of the most well-known casinos in the world.

Seven of the world's top gambling and casino places will be highlighted in this post. You may be well aware of some of these. Perhaps less so for others. Hopefully you will discover at least one place that you will think is worthwhile of saving up some money for and traveling to as soon as possible.

The United States alone has more than 1500 casinos. In order to put this into perspective, the number of casinos in the US is roughly equal to the number of casinos in the rest of the globe put together. It should come as no surprise that we chose two American locations for our list. Gaming is quickly becoming more popular abroad. We present two Asian regions that, over the previous ten years, have grown to dominate the world's casino income.

1. Las Vegas

The world's de facto gambling Mecca, sometimes referred to as the "city of lights" and, of course, "sin city," comes in first on the list. Casinos on the Las Vegas Strip generate nearly $6 billion in revenue annually, $118 million of which comes from poker. If you had visited the most renowned gaming industry in the world last year, you would have been one of the over 42.3 Million visitors. The fact that there is basically just one reason to travel to Las Vegas—the Strip—outside of conventions makes that number even more astonishing.

In addition, there are other options available. Casinos have made significant investments in entertainment attractions as a result of the fierce competition for gambling cash, each outdoing the other in opulence and spectacle. Las Vegas is known for its glitzy performers and showgirls, like the Rat Pack and Wayne Newton, as well as its magnificent fountains, pyramids, and copy of the Eiffel Tower. Cirque du Soleil is currently performing their breath-taking brand of gymnastics year-round thanks to their recent establishment of a permanent presence.

Las Vegas does provide alternatives, though, if you find yourself looking for something to do other from the gambling tables if your finances are running low. At the Heart Attack Grill restaurant, you can eat for free if you weigh more than 350 pounds. Ask about their triple deck cheese and bacon burger, please! A grenade launcher may be fired twice for $40 elsewhere. Additionally, a playground for heavy equipment exists where you can operate bulldozers.

2. Macau

Located close to Hong Kong on the western side of the Pearl River Delta, Macau was a province of the Portuguese Empire until it was passed over to China in 1999. Despite being formally under Chinese control, Macau has maintained a significant level of autonomy and has taken advantage of it to position itself as one of the richest cities in the world.

With 2015 gaming revenue exceeding $28.3 billion, Macau overtook Las Vegas as the top gaming destination in the world in 2006. You won't have to worry about not finding a game because there are almost 6000 gaming tables in total at Macau casinos.

The eight most profitable gaming establishments worldwide are located in Macau, even though the US gaming industry continues to lead the globe in casino gambling revenues. With US$5.85 billion in revenue in 2014, the Galaxy Macau came in first place on that list—almost as much as the entire Las Vegas Strip combined!

The average annual temperature in Macau, which is close to the equator, is 72 °F. If you don't mind the humidity and enjoy the heat, Macau's summertime temperatures regularly exceed 80 °F. If that bothers you, the average temperature in January is 58 °F, which is considerably more tolerable. Whichever option you choose, Macau's tourist infrastructure is completely modern, so you can anticipate a comfortable stay.

3. Atlantic City

The other well-known gambling destination in the United States is Atlantic City, which may be considered a more relaxed alternative to the flash and glamour of the Las Vegas Strip. With its casinos, oceanfront beaches, and, of course, the world-famous Boardwalk, Atlantic City, a little resort town with a population of 39 000, has appeal in spades.

Eight casinos may be found in Atlantic City. With 3153 slot machines and 263 gaming tables, the Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa is the biggest and most recent. The Borgata asserts to have the most profitable slot machines in the gambling industries of both Atlantic City and Pennsylvania.

Atlantic City, a legitimate tourist destination, shows that it's not all about the gambling. Seven of the top ten golf courses in the state are located in the Atlantic City region, which is also one of the top three locations in the world for hosting prestigious boxing matches. Of course, there is also the Boardwalk described before. The Atlantic City Boardwalk, which was constructed in 1870, is considered to be the best in the US by National Geographic.

4. Monte Carlo

The Monte Carlo casino's legend and history speak for themselves. The Monte Carlo, perched on the Mediterranean coast, continues to hold a preeminent position in terms of its reputation for elegance and opulent gaming.

While the casino has maintained the opulent style that has made it so well-known, it has also made an effort to stay up with changes in gaming technology. As a result, you can play both traditional and contemporary slots. European and English roulettes, Trente et Quarante, Black Jack, and the wildly popular Texas Hold'em Poker are all available in Monte Carlo's gaming suites.

The summertime Salle Blanche & Terrasse offers table gambling with an unrivaled view of the Riviera, unlike most casinos, which are shuttered, eerie places where players are encouraged to lose track of time and the outside world.

Monte Carlo provides a wide range of events and activities away from the casino. Festivals are held all year long. You can get knowledgeable guides on both day and night tours. One popular option is a quick (one-half hour) or all-day excursion in a Lamborghini with a qualified driver.

5. Baden-Baden

A distinctive destination for people drawn to the grandeur of the past, Baden-Baden is situated in the German Rhineland, just north of the university city of Heidelberg. The town has a long history and has been known for its unique mineral spas for healing for millennia.

With its grand chandeliers, gilded accents, and plush red velvet drapes, the magnificent casino was built more than 200 years ago and was intended to resemble a French palace. Its peak may have been in the 19th century, when European nobility and elite classes from all over the world were fond of it. Currently, you can find more than 100 slot machines and twenty gaming tables with Black Jack, Poker, Roulette, and Baccarat, all while maintaining the depth of its legacy.

Baden-Baden has upscale dining and shopping areas and is near the Black Forest National Park and the Rebland Wine Region.

6. Singapore

Between Canada and Australia, Singapore is ranked fourth in the world for gambling earnings thanks to its two casinos, which opened in 2010. With 2015 revenues of $2.57 and $1.76, respectively, the Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa complete the top ten casinos in the world.

The Marina Bay Sands, the larger of the two buildings, dominates Singapore's Marina Bay skyline with its unique and instantly recognizable three-tower pattern. The Sands features four stories and 160 000 square feet of area with 700 tables and 2500 machines, as well as 24-hour access and a dress requirement.

The Sands features Rapid Table Games, with touch screens and computerized wagering, which offer Baccarat, Roulette, and Sic-Bo, in addition to the regular gaming tables and slots. Poker players should be aware that the Sands only offers Singapore Stud. In addition, The Sands include the well-known 3-acre Avalon Sands Skypark.

Despite being the smaller of the two casinos, Resorts World Casino Sentosa offers nearly as many tables and gaming machines as the Sands. In addition, accommodations at The Sentosa can cost up to $1200.

The trade routes port, which was formerly a Dutch colony, still preserves its rich cultural history in its main historic neighborhoods, Little India, Arab Street, Chinatown, and Orchard Road. Over 49,000 square feet of display space at the ArtScience Museum is dedicated to fusing science, technology, and art and design.

7. Niagara Falls

There are two casinos in Niagara Falls. The Casino Niagara has 95 000 square feet of floor space across two storeys, 1500 slot machines, 45 gaming tables, 12 poker tables, and sports betting. It was the first permanent casino to open in the province of Ontario. The Niagara also has a comedy club, multiple dining options, and weekly live entertainment.

An spectacular $1 billion project called the Fallsview Casino Resort came to dominate the Niagara skyline in 2004. Over 100 gaming tables and more than 3000 slot machines can be found in the 200 000 square foot gaming area at The Fallsview.

The Fallsview is known for hosting live performances of the highest caliber, a five-star hotel with spa services, designer stores, and fine restaurants. Additionally, the Fallsview, as its name suggests, provides a stunning view of the grandeur of the Horseshoe Falls. The Fallsview hotel features a 15 000 square foot spa along with 374 guestrooms.

The Maid of the Mist tour, Skylon Tower and Pavilion with spinning restaurant and observation deck overlooking the Falls, Butterfly Conservatory, Wax Museums, and Marine Land are just a few of Niagara Falls' attractions. Additionally, the Niagara region maintains its standing as a premier golfing destination.

The Honeymoon Capital of the World, Niagara Falls has long been a favored vacation spot for couples. Couples who enjoy gambling can enjoy a fun-filled getaway at this world-class casino and gaming facilities.

Conclusion

Depending on your preferences and interests, you can pick from a wide variety of world-class venues and locations thanks to the present rise in the worldwide casino and gaming industry and culture. The host governments receive significant tax benefits from gaming revenue. Due to its significance to regional economies, the sector has gained the support of ruling powers and become globally standardized. This standardization aims to guarantee that gaming destinations as varied as Macau or Niagara Falls establish and preserve a reputation for giving gaming tourists nothing less than an amazing experience.

I hope this list has given you some ideas for your next gaming excursion, no matter which location grabs your eye.
