The average minimum bet is reported to be equivalent to $270 in China's - and now the world's - gambling capital, a figure so massive, that it stands at more than double the combined averages for Las Vegas(20$), Singapore(50$), South Korea(20$), Australia(20$) and the Phillippines(10$) There's your explanation for high rollers such as Tom Dwan swapping the Sin City desert for the Pearl River Delta.

That figure is massive compared to most and shows that the stereotypical view of a Chinese gambler holds some weight and why casinos in Vegas are losing a lot of their high rollers and who can blame them when the action is in the East. The UK average bet is probably around £10 so we have a long way to go yet.
