In these decadent temples of chance, opulent suites and spas coexist alongside roulette wheels and blackjack tables. From Macau to Vegas, these ten casinos take high stakes gambling to a whole new level.<\/p>\n
Casinos are places where the rules of probability and chance meet a culture of glamour. In their heyday, they were playgrounds for the elites of Europe, drawing royalty and aristocracy from across the continent to affluent resort towns like Baden-Baden. Today, the most exclusive casinos are as likely to be found in Asia as they are in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
Besides their physical security force, modern casinos employ a specialized surveillance department that monitors all casino activity through closed circuit television cameras. This technology allows casinos to supervise games minute by minute, and alert them quickly if a game is rigged. Other security measures include using betting chips with microcircuitry that interacts with electronic systems on table games, and electronically monitoring roulette wheels for statistical deviations.<\/p>\n
Most casinos make their profit from a small percentage of all bets placed, or by charging hourly rental fees for gaming rooms and table games. In addition, some casinos host high-profile entertainment events such as high-flying circus acts and top-billed musical artists. Other revenue streams include food and beverage sales, hotel accommodations, and merchandise sales. These revenue sources give casinos a virtual assurance of gross profits, which means that a casino can afford to offer big bettors extravagant inducements. These might include free spectacular entertainment, luxury living quarters, or reduced-fare transportation and hotel rooms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
