Macau’s Slot Machines vs. Vegas’

If you go looking for a slot machine in Macau, you won’t have far to look. The same goes for Las Vegas, where slot machines are in every convenience store you go into. However, slot machines are only part of the reason people travel to these places, there are other considerations when deciding who is going to get more slot machine revenue.

With Macau looking at $6.8 billion in projected slot machine and gambling revenue, they might take over Las Vegas as they only take in $6.6 billion. However, many think that Macau has the better slot machines, especially something called pai gow poker. It is considered to be much more glamorous than the slot machine games in Vegas, although not as much fun.

But slot machines are not the only draw, Macau cannot compete with the nightclub acts that Vegas can pull in, they have mostly names no one has heard of, whereas you can play the slot machines in Vegas and then go watch Prince. So although slots may not be the only draw they are a big one; but the entertainment is probably even bigger.
