Floating Casinos Reach Hong Kong

Casino boats have been popular for years. Especially around the United States and Canada, people rely on casino boats when they are not able to go into casinos to gamble because the boats take people out into international waters. This eliminates the issues with jurisdiction and there is no need to be able to gamble on an Indian reservation.

North America is not the only one to take advantage of casino boats. Hong Kong has recently begun offering “floating casinos” to masses of people. In many instances, people are able to get a room for the night and stay on the casino boat. Some people like to consider it a one day cruise – and it is much more affordable than some of the other casino vacations.

Recently, hotels in Macau have been asked about whether they concerned about the Hong Kong floating casinos taking away from their business. The majority of resorts throughout Macau are not concerned only because they are offering a higher end product. People who stay in Macau are not only coming to gamble but to take advantage of the luxury boutiques, the fine dining restaurants, and various other features.

The positive side of the floating casinos is that more people are able to get introduced to casinos. They are learning how to play the table games and taking advantage of the slot machines. As more people are introduced to the world of gambling, even the online casinos around the world benefit.
