In terms of the actual numerical revenues of the city due to taxation of gambling establishments, Macau is still quite a large distance behind Las Vegas in terms of the money that it gets from gambling and that in turn is a reflection on the fact that gambling is not as big in Macau as it is in Las Vegas . Many people know that Macau is going to have grow quite a bit more if they ever hope to challenge Las Vegas for supremacy of the gambling world and while they are not expected to do this anytime soon, they do have something going for them. Unlike many of the other gambling areas of the world outside Las Vegas , Macau has been able to prove that it is an area of more than just casinos. One of the establishments that prove this point is Canidrome and for that reason Canidrome is a very important venue to discuss when talking about casinos and gambling establishments that you find in Macau .
One of the main reasons that Canidrome is so important is that it happens to be an area of the city that is devoted to racing rather than to table games and for that reason represents an entirely different gambling experience. Specifically, greyhounds are the racers on the floor of Canidrome and they race four times a week on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. The races start promptly at 7:45 in the evening in the local time zone and they cycle through 16 different races before the night is over. All in all, the racing experience is very thorough, very accurate and held down to time limits that are extraordinary in terms of the finer points of their planning. This makes greyhound racing at Canidrome something that racers of all kinds will love and of course the fact that you can gamble on the outcomes of the races before watching the actual races go forward is a point that many people love.
Generally speaking, the people that run Canidrome frown on the idea of simply going to the races for the purposes of watching the racers compete. You are expected to make bets when you go and watch the game because the only way the Canidrome facility can recover its money is through betting revenues that are provided by people like you. With that having been said however, it is possible to treat the greyhound races like a sporting event and attend then without the purpose of gambling just so that you can see the racing action up close and personal. If you do that however be sure that you will be subjected to a surcharge of MOP 10.00. Everyone pays this surcharge but you can get it back by placing a bet on at least one of the races. This is considered a fair system by most of the people that have used it and the high delivery standards of this system combined with the great racing choice on any given day makes Canidrome a worthy race book service for people to take a look at.
