Monaco is world renowned as a gamblers paradise; the glitterati flock there on a daily basis all year round to be seen to be enjoying their vast wealth, and the parking lots are usually filled with the top supercars Europe has to offer.

According to the International Gambler’s Guild (the IGG), there are two casinos in Monaco that rate among the worlds top ten:  Le Monde and Le Palais de Monaco, both very close to each other on the shorefront. These have featured often in movies and literature alike and remain in the public’s conscience as places where old world tradition meets new world celebrity.

In Brazil, Rio’s Quenacasa always tops the bill, if only for its stunning vistas. In London, the casino at the Ritz Hotel is one of the oldest and finest in the city, but the IGG favors Leicester Square’s ultra-modern Emporium Casino.

As far as North America and perhaps the rest of the world is concerned, Las Vegas will always be synonymous with gambling, and the Luxor Casino and the MGM Grand are possibly the top two on the strip, at least in terms of popularity.

China also has a huge gambling base, where Beijing’s Tsing Tao tower casino is ranked top, both in terms of popularity and height at one hundred meters high.

The fact is that the matter is subjective, and if one was to ask the general public what their top casino is, they’d probably say an online casino such as 888.com or BetFred.
