Re: Poker In Macau
[ QUOTE ]
I went to The Sands in Macau last december. It was a zoo in there. More pit games then I've ever seen in my life in 1 area. I'd say the area had to be at least 1/2 a football field in size. Every table was full of people and there were people side betting. I really don't think they care about poker. It doesnt have enough action.

I was there a year and a half ago on Easter weekend (4-day weekend for many HK people) and it was pretty crazy. Cheapest minimum at a blackjack table (or any table game) was $300 HK - close to $40 U.S. at the time. Every seat at every table in the place was full. Mind you, that may have been the busiest time of the year, but it would be great if the Wynn or whomever got some poker games running there. Tons of $$ flowing through that place from HK and the mainland. I saw an interview with the Sands CEO where he said Macau had already eclipsed Vegas as the largest gambling market in the world...
