Brick and mortar casinos aren’t just found in Europe and America. In fact, most countries across South East Asia have a thriving gambling market – and they offer quality services if you seek to explore the betting scene on sunnier shores. Many avid gamblers in Europe and the UK are tired of the same experience, and although there’s a wealth of interactive casino experiences available through sites like Casumobonus.com, they’re looking for something that’s culturally different. That’s what makes South East Asia such a hotbed for gambling.

We are going to look at some of the best casinos in South East Asia!

When we mention the Asian market, Singapore and Macau are the two obvious destinations that cross your mind – coming in as the 4th and 2nd largest gaming markets in the world, respectively. In addition to these two, there are other markets across Southeast Asia that any savvy gamer should endeavor to visit, too.

The Marina Bay Sands, Singapore

If you take any random photo of Singapore’s Skyline, you’ll unquestionably not fail to notice the unique three-pillared building that’s topped by a horizontal boat shape. Take a trip down to Singapore, and you’ll realize that even in the crowded city, this building and its unique features are easily recognizable. Due to its mammoth size and unique features, this building is the most photographed in the world.

What most people don’t know is that this building is home to the Marina Bay Sands Casino – which boasts of occupying 160,000 ft2 of gaming space. On this vast space, there are more than 2,500 gaming machines and close to 750 table games.

With all the games and space, there’s never really a dull moment. There is a million square feet of convention space, entertainment venues, theatres and a museum just to supplement the gaming. The building also hosts a total of 50 restaurants, including ten separate fine dining areas.

And if all this wasn’t enough, there is a hectare of parkland balanced atop this 55-storey building, including a state of the art infinity pool, which gives you the exquisite view of the city. The Marina Bay Sands resort is one of the best Southeast Asia Casinos.

Resorts World Genting, Malaysia

Malaysia has only one casino, which also happens to be the place where a casino dynasty was built on. The Resorts World Genting casino is an amazing property that’s nestled in the mountains on the border between Selangor and Pahang – about an hour drive from the country’s capital, Kuala Lumpur. The casino opened its first doors to its visitors in 1965 but has undergone numerous extensions and renovations just to keep it as one of the top of the range luxury casinos in South East Asia.

The casino boasts of a 200,000 ft2 gaming space, which holds more than 400 table games and 3,000 slot machines. If you are the type of player who fancies a drink after a gaming session, as you are entertained, you’ll be pleased to know Resorts World Genting hosts performance venues, clubs, bars and a gondola list, which gives you spectacular views.

Fun Fact: Did you know that The Resorts World Genting Casino holds the Guinness world record for hosting the first world hotel with 7,351 rooms and five different hotels?

Therefore, if you are the type of player who prefers the serene mountain paradise instead of the neon city, then The Resorts World Genting Casino is what you’ve been dreaming of.

Resorts World Manila, Philippines

Philippines is one of the Asian countries with so many casinos spread in it. Currently, the city holds more than 65 casinos spread across the country’s 32 cities, making it one of the largest countries with the most number of casinos. As such, Philippines continues to attract wealthy businessmen and tourists from all over the world, and more especially China.

As the Chinese government intensifies its war on gambling – trying to prevent its citizens from traveling to Macau to gamble – more and more people have instead opted to go further afield and the Philippines is one of the popular destinations. The country has a fair share of integrated resorts, but in my opinion, Resorts World Manila is the best place.

Resorts World Manila has an impressive 323,000 ft2 gaming space spread out over here floors. It’s located directly opposite the country’s main international airport, Ninoy Aquino International Airport, making it easy for you to easily access it. As a guest, you have a choice of nine signature restaurants, four international hotels in addition to a luxurious spar and a theatre.

Conclusion

It doesn’t matter if you seek to explore the glitzy casino services offered at Macau, the yet to be charming casinos of the Philippines or the single sensation found in Malaysia, Southeast Asia has different gambling venues meant to suit every player’s preference. The only hard decision to make is which casino should be the first to visit – but before that, we hope you have your passport ready…
