With spots 6 to 10 being made up of Sun City in South Africa, any of the major cruise ships, Baden Baden in Germany, Goa in India and the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, the following takes a more in-depth look at the places that make up the top 5.

1. Las Vegas – the gambling capital of the world, the Las Vegas Strip is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world thanks to not only its vast amount of casinos, but its deluxe hotels, Michelin starred restaurants and all inclusive resorts.

According to About.com, the very first licensed casino was opened in Las Vegas in 1931 and the area has continued to develop and increase in popularity almost continually, making it the most suitable place for gambling in the world ,whether you want to play keno, low stakes blackjack or high rolling Texas Hold ‘Em.

2. Monaco – home to the Grand Casino in Monte Carlo (known now simply as the Monte Carlo Casino), Monaco has been a popular place for European gamblers to go to since 1854, when gambling was legalised and licensed in the country.

Reputedly one of the most expensive and richest casinos in the world, the Monte Carlo Casino, whilst popular with tourists, is very much aimed at the higher end of the gambling market.

3. Macau – whilst not a massively popular gambling destination amongst the general, worldwide public, Macau actually has a long history of gambling and is quickly establishing its name as one of the top places in the world to gamble, as shown by its position in Trip Atlas’s list.

A short one hour journey from Hong Kong, whilst people go to Macau for the gambling in general, whether it’s for a luck game such as keno or roulette or a more skill based game such as one of the many poker variants, it has one major attraction that most people go to see.

The Venetian Macao – the sister casino to Las Vegas’s Venetian casino – is the fourth largest building in the world and in fact the largest single building in the whole of Asia. Covering 10,500,000 square feet, it features 3,000 hotel suites, 550,000 square feet of casino floor, a 15,000 seated arena and offers 3,400 slot machines and over 800 card tables.

4. Atlantic City – whether you go by the reports that Atlantic City is a poorer and cheesier version of Las Vegas or not, there is no doubting that it is a fantastic place to gamble, irrelevant of your chosen game.

Furthermore, like Las Vegas, Atlantic City offers 24 hour gambling, meaning that whilst it may come in second place to Cialis Las Vegas in terms of gambling resorts in America, it is still alive and kicking whatever time of the day you go.

5. Atlantis Resort – arguably the best place in the world to mix a sun and sea holiday with fantastic gambling, the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas is today seen as one of the best places in the world to gamble.

Offering an extensive variety of different gaming options, no matter what type of casino game you prefer, you’ll be able to find it at the Atlantis Resort – right alongside glorious beaches, all day sun and a fantastic laid back attitude.
