The World’s Most Alluring Gambling Destinations

If you’ve ever gambled in a casino, you know that nothing is more electrifying than seeing three cherries line up. Now imagine hitting the jackpot in some of the world’s most lavish gambling dens—remote, exotic and unlike anything you see every day.

We’re here to stir your enthusiasm for chance and adventure-taking by revealing some of the most show-stopping locations to try the luck of the draw.

While beating the house is no guarantee, you’ll definitely have a blast!

Las Vegas, USA

The first place our mind wanders to after hearing “gambling” is undoubtedly Las Vegas. Located in the heart of the Nevada Desert, Sin City is the Mecca of risk-takers and luck-seekers. “The Strip” is where everybody goes looking for the time of their lives. Some of the most prestigious and lavish casinos and resorts are situated on this boulevard stretch. The Bellagio, the Venetian, MGM Grand, and many more promise loot and glory to those who have earned the favour of Lady Luck and those who believe they have beaten the system. This dream destination welcomes passionate gamblers and ordinary tourists alike since Vegas has a lot to offer, even visitors not trying their luck at the roulette or poker tables.

Monte Carlo, Monaco

Despite being a mini city-state on the French Riviera, Monaco is still one of the world’s top gambling destinations. Monte Carlo (Monaco’s largest quarter) houses four casinos with over 985 slot machines; it also includes the monumental Casino de Monte-Carlo, featured in numerous films as one of the most luxurious and prestigious destinations for the gambling elite. The Monte Carlo casino is also Monaco’s biggest tourist attraction and the main reason for the city’s economic rise in the late 19th century.

Macau, China

Often referred to as the “Monte Carlo of the Orient”, Macau is the gambling epicentre of the eastern hemisphere. With its 41 casinos (17 of which are located on Taipa Island), Macau is Vegas’ strongest contender for the title of the “gambling capital of the world”. In 2007, it also overtook “The Strip” in gambling revenues after various Las Vegas and Australian casinos set up shop there. Given that this former Portuguese colony is the only place in China where you can legally gamble, Macau is brimming with visitors yearlong, both from China and abroad. Players visiting this gambling wonderland can try their luck in an enormous variety of old and new casino games, different lotteries, and all kinds of sports betting. 

London, United Kingdom

The second-most-alluring gambling destination in Europe after Monte Carlo is no other but London. The exquisite architecture, rich history, and diverse culture aren’t the only reasons to visit The Big Smoke. Gamblers looking to hit the jackpot, roll the dice, or run a poker table can find thrilling action in the 27 casinos spread across this gambler’s paradise. London’s lax gambling laws allow anyone older than 18 years of age to bet on anything of interest or play any game of chance. The city’s top casinos, such as The Hippodrome and The Empire, are located in West End. Therefore, you can watch a show, visit a gallery, or grab a bite, before hitting the tables in one of the world’s most luxurious casinos right in the centre of the city.

Marina Bay, Singapore

Even though Singapore’s gambling industry is in its infancy, this island city-state still houses two of the largest and most opulent casinos anywhere—Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) and Marina Bay Sands (MBS). These two colossal casinos are part of the world’s first integrated resorts, which opened in Singapore in 2010. In addition to offering every game of chance under the sun, these massive resorts include top-notch hotels and restaurants, meeting halls, entertainment centres, luxury retail stores and various theme parks. Owing to the marvellous microworlds contained within, RWS and MBS became the world’s most lucrative casinos by 2013.

Atlantic City, USA

Ever since the first casino opened in Atlantic City in 1978 (Resorts), New Jersey has been trying to establish itself as a gambling behemoth on the East Coast—even succeeding in being named the best gambling destination for 2015 by the readers of USA Today. The state currently has nine casinos, all of which are situated in A.C., and despite its recent economic troubles, America’s Playground still has a lot to offer to players looking for that big jackpot. With its lavish hotels and exquisite restaurants, even those that don’t play their cards right at Borgata’s or Caesars’s tables can still find comfort in A.C.
