Macau Casinos

Gambling has been legal in Macau for well over a century. This industry is extremely important in Macau. In fact, this country is often called “The Monte Carlo of the Orient” and the “Asian Las Vegas.”

In addition to casinos, horse racing, greyhound racing, sports betting, and lotteries are all legal in Macau, as is online gambling.

The most popular game in Macau is baccarat, with high rollers traveling from around the world to play in Macau. Along with traditional Chinese game players, baccarat players make up the majority of gamblers in this country. In 2007, though, poker was introduced, an Macau is now home to the Asia Pacific Poker Tour. The Grand Waldo Hotel and Casino now hosts live poker tournaments ever weekend. Until 2001, casinos in Macau were controlled by a national monopoly. With that monopoly breaking up and licenses available to many Western companies, more and more Western games, like poker, are being introduced every year.

The Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ) regulates Macau gambling. Under law, casinos must have a license issued by this agency for any lottery or luck game, so all of the country’s casinos are officially licensed to be legal. If you choose to gamble in Macau, make sure the establishment is legal or your winnings could be seized.

This industry makes up about 40% of the entire country’s profits, and until the introduction of online gambling, this number was at about 50%. In addition to casinos, you should also check out some of the country’s racetracks as well. Before placing bets, make sure that you understand that casino’s policy on payouts, especially for foreign visitors.
