The Top Four Casinos in Macau

By  | 

In case you didn’t know, the land-based casinos in the semi-autonomous Macau have overtaken their counterparts in Las Vegas, making this Chinese territory the gambling mecca of the world. Last year, to give you an idea, the casinos in Macau generated $37.6 billion in revenue, while the ones in Las Vegas only managed $11.9 billion. Currently, there are 41 operating casinos in Macau which are regulated by the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau. That is an increase of 10 casinos since 2008, meaning a new casino is being built on average every year. 

According to Bingofind, the online hub that covers all things related to online gambling and no deposit bonus offers, the most popular games in Macau are Baccarat, slot machines, Blackjack and Roulette. Due to the immense popularity of Baccarat, the casinos dedicate a large portion of their hall space to their respective tables. 

Now, are you wondering which casinos in Macau are the best? We have selected four of our favourite ones that definitely deserve a visit next time you are in the area. 

#1: Venetian Casino Resort

The Venetian Casino Resort, owned by Las Vegas Sands, is undoubtedly the largest casino in the world, measuring over 538,000 square feet. There are more than 2,000 slot machines and over 500 gaming tables to choose from, while there are some electronic table games that can only be found in this establishment, including the likes of Dragon Tiger Fortune Spin and Fast Action Baccarat. With 3,000 rooms available, you shouldn’t have any problem making a reservation, but remember, you must be at least 21 years old to enter the casino.

#2: Sands Cotai Central

Centrally located in the Cotai Strip area of Macau, the Sands Cotai Central features two individually themed casinos, namely the Himalaya and Pacifica. In total, they cover a space of over 182,000 square feet, and even though there are other bigger casinos, together they boast over 1,700 slot machines and more than 200 live action table games. This one makes it high on our list due to the sheer volume of slot titles that are bound to please even the most demanding gamblers.  

#3: The Parisian Macau

There’s a reason the total net casino revenue generated by The Parisian Macau experienced a 21.9% increase to reach $730 million. This 135,000 square feet casino offers patrons the chance to choose from 410 gaming tables, that host a plethora of games including baccarat and roulette, while their casino hall plays host to 2,500 slot and video poker titles. That is an astounding number that can cater to both the Asian market and holidaymakers making their way to Macau to experience the exotic gambling scene it has to offer. 

#4: The Wynn Palace

Last but by no means least, we have The Wynn Palace casino, which is a fairly new addition on the Cotai Strip that opened its doors in August 2016 and has 1,706 rooms. It boasts 424,000 square feet of casino space, probably the second biggest behind the Venetian, and it’s well known for its VIP tables with high stake poker games. There’s a total of 350 tables and well over 1,100 gaming machines. Additionally, at Wynn Palace, you can find Konami’s ‘Fortune Cup’ arcade-style horse racing game that is only available in two other casinos. The game combines digital video animation along with the mechanics of traditional arcade horse racing.   

Conclusion

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter which casino you plan to visit in Macau as nobody is re-inventing the wheel. You simply need to choose one that suits your gambling needs, maybe the hotel that features the most Michelin star restaurants or simply fulfils your accommodation requirements. Either way, you are in good hands!
