Introduction Don't make the mistake of thinking of Macau casinos as one uniform element within the city's tourism industry. Just as there are many different casino types in Las Vegas , so too are there many different types of casinos in Macau . The area is littered with different casinos, each with their own particular goals and ways to attain those goals. The end result is an impressive variation between different casino types that allows for the cataloguing of different Macau casinos into different categories based on the activities and events that go on at the casino.
Basic Casino The basic casino is the main type of Macau casino you will find. Indeed, most of the casinos in Macau can be thought of as basic casinos in one way or another. A basic casino is simply a casino that has all of the basic accommodations and amenities including access to a wide range of casino gaming activities as well as places to eat, drink and see entertainment activities as a person may want. Overall, the basic casino in Macau terms is very similar to the basic casino in Las Vegas terms.
Slots Casino Here is another casino type that hails primarily from the city of Las Vegas . It is the slots specialist casino. Built on the premise that slot machines are all you need to make money, slots specialist casinos often have hundreds or even thousands of slot machines available for people to play on but precious little else to do. The table gaming is negligible or even non-existent in some cases whereas the entertainment venues are usually not very large outside of the room where the slot machines are kept. These are the perfect casinos for slot machine enthusiasts, but they are not that great for anyone else interested in gambling.
Entertainment Casino The entertainment casino is essentially the basic casino with a massive entertainment program built into it. Some of these casinos exist in Macau and while they offer the same amount of casino gaming as the average casino would offer in terms of both slot machines and table gaming, they have excellent entertainment events that also make them quite a bit of money over the course of a single calendar year.
Resort Casino The resort casino in terms of a specific definition for a casino is the most common casino in Macau and almost every new casino that is built is a resort casino. The resort casino is another idea pioneered by Las Vegas and it is essentially a small city inside a casino. Not only can you gamble and entertain yourself inside a resort casino, you can also eat, drink and sleep inside one as well because of the accommodations that they have. A good resort casino will leave nothing that you need to do outside of its grounds and for that reason brings a very impressive luxury element to the table. The future trend is definitely towards the construction of more resort casinos in Macau over any other casino type.
