Forget about Las Vegas and Antlantic City. Macau is the place where the big bucks are spent gambling. According to a recent article by CNN NewSource, Macau (a territory in China which lies on the Western side of the Pearl River Delta and was the first and last European colony in the country) had a gambling revenue of 360 billion patacas ($45 billion) in 2013 - an increase of almost 20% over the previous year! To put that amount into perspective, Las Vegas is lucky to have made a $6.5 billion in 2013 (15% of Macau's total). This means that Macua's gambling industry currently is 7 times greater than Vegas!
Macau is the only place in China where gambling is legal, and millions of tourists (including poker professionals such as Tom "durrrr" Dwan) visit each year to gamble at one (or several) of the territory's 33 casinos. About 600,000 people live in Macau and, according to CNN NewSource, Chinese gamblers favour games like baccarat over poker and blackjack (something that usually gives the casino a bigger winning percentage in the long run) and many visit Macau in order to cash out casino chips in foreign currencies - to overcome limits on moving cash out of China (Bejing limits the amount of money Chinese can take out of the country to $50,000 per year) to invest and make purchases in, for example, Europe and the United States.
