Macau casinos are distinct for their peaceful atmosphere. By 2009, Macau
Casinos are expected to pull in more than US$5 billion annually – more than
Las Vegas. Macau resorts, hotels and casinos are quickly becoming some of the
main Macau attractions.
Triad involvement in Macau casinos makes a serious social impact on the local
area. Gambling being legal in Macau, Casinos offer great entertainment to the
connoisseurs. For four decades, the city’s economy has been dominated by Hong
Kong tycoon Stanley Ho, octogenarian owner of the Lisboa and 15 other Macau
casinos. The first thing many people notice about Macau China is how clean it
is. I heard recently that Macau Casinos have overtaken Las Vegas as the
gambling capital of the world.
Almost all Macau casinos open 24 hours. Wynn Casino is one of the new casinos
in Macau. Macau is already the biggest single gambling market in the world.
While most Macau casinos cram as many baccarat and other gaming tables as
possible into their available space, Wynn gives his customers room to breathe.
What is different between the Macau casinos and Las Vegas casinos is the
glitzy atmosphere. Macau’s casinos are geared to Asian gamblers, so most
tables are dedicated to baccarat, fan-tan, and Asian dice games. Shiny
surfaces, machine jingles, alarm bells, bustling restaurants and high-end
fashion boutiques fill the new-Macau casinos. Macau’s casinos offer the
largest variety of casino games anywhere in the world, combining both
established western favorites with popular eastern games. Macau’s casinos are
just 60km west of Hong Kong, and they attract Hong Kong gamblers — who have
no casinos at home — in droves. Till recently, billionaire Stanley Ho, who
runs the Lisboa Casino, has had a monopoly in the relatively autonomous
Chinese protectorate.
