Gambling is legal in around half of the world - and for responsible adults after that adrenaline rush of hearing dice hit the table, Macau is one of the countries that offers heart-pumping nights on the town! You can feel a million dollars in the VIP clubs and high roller rooms of sparkling, festive facilities like the new Ponte 16 complex, or feel part of Macau's history along the waterfront in a more refined, but no less thrilling older casino.
Much of the Ponte 16 complex is less than a year old, and the casino features all the newest facilities and most modern styling alongside old favorites in gaming like roulette, blackjack and poker. The casino will total around 270,000 square feet when it is complete - February 2008 saw the grand opening of phase 1 of the building, with two levels, 105 gaming tables and three hundred slot machines.
The figures will total 150 gaming tables, 320 slot machines and 5 VIP halls, filled with cigars, long red dresses, diamonds and Armani, at the completion of the casino at Ponte 16. For a break from the flashing lights and rushing blood of the casino, you can make your way around the entertainment complex at Ponte 16, which houses retail shops, food and beverage outlets, outdoor performance areas and alfresco dining.
Then once you've taken in a little fresh air, it is time to either win back some of those chips, or keep on taking that blackjack dealer for a ride, Casino Lisboa is one of the best known on the peninsula, with its old world charm and atmosphere.
It makes putting chips down on a table feel like you are actually making history - even if you are only actually making yourself enough money for a special night out! Situated near Ponte 16 in the Old Macau area of the peninsula, the building itself has a labyrinth of different rooms, clubs and levels. The tables here play in both Macau patakas (MOP) and Hong Kong dollars (HKD).
If you like your sleeps to be peaceful, but your nightlife memorable and thrilling, then you are probably staying on Taipa island, and looking for a place to throw down a few chips, gamble on black or red, and try to beat the dealer! Roulette, blackjack, poker, baccarat, craps and all the other old favorites are available in Taipa's casinos.
The Crown Macau and Casino Taipa are two of the best known here, but if you are looking for a more private experience, try the Macau Jockey Club. The club is on Estrada Governador Albano de Oliveira, and has both gaming tables and slot machines. If you are looking to gamble in Taipa, rather than Old Macau or downtown Macau, check before you leave that you have both patacas and Hong Kong dollars. Not all gaming i on this smaller island can be relied on to provide dollar exchange services or to play in either currency.
Another of the newer gambling developments is the Cotai strip joining Coloane and Taipa island, where the Las Vegas of the East is soon to be born. Or you can explore the Macau peninsula by foot - then rest those feet and exercise your wits and cunning at a blackjack, roulette or poker table!
