Top 7 Gambling Destinations in the World

1

Macau, China

Macau is now referred to as the Las Vegas of the east. Truth be told, in the volume of money moving around and the number of casinos, it has long since surpassed its western counterpart. So, if you want to experience the best that the world of gambling has to offer – go to Macau.

People who are wondering if casinos can control slot machines need to go to Macau and see the sheer volume of these machines that fit into a single casino hall. Then, they’ll finally realize just how pointless assuming something like that is.

Reno, Nevada

The Biggest Little City in the world has more than 20 casinos for you to choose from. In other words, it’s for people who love gambling but dislike the idea of going to a major metropolitan hub to gamble.

In other words, you get a big city vibe, with all the venues that you want to visit still within walking distance. So, the best way to describe Reno would be to say that it’s a more compact version of Las Vegas.

Some say that Reno is stuck in time like it’s a bad thing. The truth is that this is your best way to travel back to the 1970s and see what casino culture was like back in the day.


Atlantic City, New Jersey

Ever since the era of the prohibition (possibly even before that), gambling has been the biggest industry in Atlantic City. Sure, some say that 1900-1945 was its golden age, but the truth is that the city is still one of America’s favorite playgrounds.

Since “the Act” came out in 1976, casino gambling has been approved by the citizens of New Jersey. Sure, it’s not as big or popular as Vegas but Atlantic City has one major advantage over its counterpart. It’s located in the most densely populated region of the country, which means that, for a lot of people, it’s just a short trip away.

Also, if you’re a fan of Boardwalk Empire, it’s worth going out there to see the city in person.

Salzburg, Austria

Visiting Casino Salzburg is one of the most incredible experiences that any gambler is likely to encounter. Sure, it’s overseas and it might be a bit of a drag to organize the trip but it’s not as if the trip itself is not rewarding.

There’s no reason to worry, seeing as how gambling, casinos, and lotteries are regulated by the law on games of chance (GSpG) under the Ministry of Finance of Austria. In other words, everything is legal and regulated for you to enjoy.

Sure, some of the provincial gambling laws might dictate that there can’t be more than 50 gaming machines per salon, or that they cannot accept wagers for more than $10, however, this all depends on the province and often has more to do with the casino than with the gambler.

Monte Carlo, Monaco

A lot of people believe that gambling in Monte Carlo is incredibly expensive, however, the entry fee seldom exceeds $11.50 (around 10 euros). After you’re in, you can play for as much (or as little) as you want. Are there people who lose a fortune in Monte Carlo? Sure! Is this a rule? Not!

There’s also no wrong time to visit Monaco. After all, there are amazing museums and sites to visit at all times and there are interesting events and manifestations taking place all year round. In other words, you should schedule a visit depending on your own vacation time.

If you or your significant other are social media fans, it’s quite improbable that you’ll find a more instagrammable place anywhere on earth. Sure, this might not be your main reason to visit but you could use it as a way to convince your significant other to come along.

Singapore, Singapore

While there are only 3 casinos in Singapore, each of them is massive and, honestly, quite impressive. All of them are listed as integrated resorts, which means that they’re in the same complex as a hotel and other convention facilities.

Now, while Singapore is the home of some of the most incredible casinos in the world, the real gambling revolution here came in the digital world. With so many online casinos (some even offering live dealer service), more and more people in Singapore are logging in.

Aside from all of this, it’s also a foodie paradise with incredible nightlife. So, if gambling is a big part of your visit but not the main/only reason, chances are that there are a lot of different things that Singapore has to offer.

Wrap Up

In the end, it’s incredibly important that you understand that a trip such as this can be quite expensive. So, make sure that you budget it right and do your research. Also, make sure to keep your money segmented or that you get your return ticket in advance.
