Rules to follow in Macau

1. Gambling is heavily regulated — only in licensed casinos

Gambling in Macau is only legal in licensed casinos. Unlicensed gambling dens exist and can be fronts for criminal activity. Card counting and cheating in casinos is a criminal offence.

• Where: Legal
• Cost: Criminal charges; detention
• Tip: Stick to the major licensed casino operators. Keep a close eye on your chips and spending — the design of casinos makes it easy to lose track.
