Throughout Chinese history there have been many areas of imagery that have been drawn on to make a particular point. One of the most powerful sources of imagery in Chinese history is the Dragon however and it is present not only in a number of the ancient tales and lore of the Chinese people, but also in many of the modern festivities such as the New Year celebrations that take place every year in the country of China. The Golden Dragon is a symbol that has existed for hundreds if not thousands of years in China and it is a symbol that has often been associated with wealth and prosperity.
Given that particular meaning for the imagery, it is perhaps no surprise that a casino would decide to use that particular image as the main theme of its entire operation. This is exactly what the Golden Dragon Casino has done and if one can tell by its revenue figures, the strategy has worked. Golden Dragon Casino is part of Golden Dragon Resort and for that reason not all of the revenue comes from the gambling operation, but enough of it does come from gambling for that to be a very lucrative and reliable source of profit for the people that run the Golden Dragon Resort.
The Golden Dragon Casino is actually one of the more impressive casinos that you will find in Macau . It was the 14th casino to be licensed in Macau and ever since being licensed it has faithfully stuck to its duties both to the enterprise and to the city that has given it a home. A large part of Macau 's lucrative reputation is due to the existence of the Golden Dragon Resort. The actual casino occupies the 2nd and 3rd floors of the Golden Dragon Resort for a total surface area of about 70,000 square feet. It has a decidedly carnival theme to it, once again taking the symbol of the Dragon and this time portraying it in a festive rather than lucrative way. The festivals in question are international however so in addition to the Dragon you will see images from festivals from the other continents of the world.
The casino is home to around 85 tables worth of gaming. These 85 tables are usually divided into a large group of 70 for the average gambler and a smaller group of 15 for people that want to gamble at higher stakes. Games that are offered at these tables include blackjack, baccarat, three-card poker and sic bo although from time to time you will see other games offered as well. These table games combine with the slot machines for a final result that is truly impressive, especially given that the casino is open around the clock.
Overall, the Golden Dragon Casino is definitely one of the more impressive specimens of the Macau casino industry. Usually you can tell if a casino in a particular area is good if that casino can match up with casinos from elsewhere around the world. In the case of the Golden Dragon Casino, it would be no contest. It certainly has what it takes.
