Crowded Casinos - Play or not?

(Not my picture, I was not able to take my own picture.)

My first time to travel abroad and my destination was in Macau, a great city to gamble.  
Well, my first impression is that, they have the best architecture and great casinos, the "Studio City, Grand Lisboa, Parisian and the Venetian" to name a few was a great place to have fun and relax.

But honestly, I was shock seeing a crowded casinos which literally make me think to play or not considering I go there during weekdays at the morning.
Venetian is the most crowded casinos I've ever been, maybe because of their tourist spot and shopping store but the crowd is same on the inside of the casino.

I don't have much time to gamble, and I'm thinking if those gamblers is really there to have fun or to earn money after all?
I can't just imagine to have fun at the huge crowd, and so many people around you at the poker table.

Is it worth to play? or the crowd and the noise around you will just add to your stress?
Will you play on a crowded casinos? or just play online?

(VIP's might have the separate room and a more solemn room, I don't know but let's talk about the general here. )

I prefer gambling online when compared to gambling in a brick and mortar casino when playing solo. However, if I wish to play with friends(Vacation etc), I prefer gambling in brick and mortar casinos and don't really have a problem with big crowds.

More people actually tend to elevate the fun and you get to watch a lot of entertaining stuff in such situations(Someone winning the jackpot etc). It is easy to lose control which is why a good group of friends help in this aspect.

You're in the wrong place. Come to South Dakota, we got slot machines in gas stations, no crowds 

I mean what do you expect in Macau casinos - I believe they exist solely for huge crowds of Chinese tourists.

For me crowded casinos is not good to play because you cannot focus on the game you want to play.  wherein due to some ppl that keep watching on your back , and sometimes can distract during the game. So much better to play on quit place in my opinion.  wherein you can focus and no other things that cause distraction. And so that you can avoid losses on it as well.  Because  it's very annoying actually if the place is very crowded and there are some ppl whispering on your back.  Lol.

Such is the reality of Physical Casinos or real casinos. The more famous the casino, the more crowded people play there. Actually, it is not a good idea to play with such a crowded situation. But if it's vacation and you like playing gambling, then it's better to try playing there for a few rounds. If you want to play focus to get profits, then it's better to play at online casinos.

I have been gambling for many years in a offline casino and I have never seen a casino crowded as this, maybe their opening you will see lots of players a like. But a regular day? No. Anyways, I don't like crowded though, this is just my preference, I don't like to many players in a table because it's really hard to put a bet and sometimes people then to 'claim' your bet so there could be arguments involves, just saying.

[Ailmand]

I prefer playing with just a little crowd when gambling. If there are too much people in a casino it is hard to focus and even enjoy what you are doing. Especially if you are playing poker, you can focus more on the game if the there is just a few spectators around the table or no spectators at all.

[Jating]

That's Macau what do you expect? I'm sure even in regular days, lots of people are gamblers are inside because after all its the gambling mecca in Asia.

So I will echo the sentiments of most gamblers here, I won't go and play on that kind of casino. I still prefer a casino that doesn't have that much people, or just go online. Or just play a regular slots, that is if there are still open table, Lol. Haven't been in Macau so thanks to the OP, I guess if I have the time to go there, I will just enjoy myself but I won't gamble that much.

[crzy]

That's a crazy place to gamble and maybe some of them are theft waiting for the right moment to get something from you.
I don't like crowded place, I feel like I'm not comfortable and its scary a little bit so for me I won't play on that Casino and better to choose to play online. I didn't experience to go there but searching for the Casinos in Macau online, it looks really great and hope to go there as well, to see if the crowds is good or not at all.

[electronicash]

haven't been in macau, i always wanted to be there but my work is not permitting me. haven't been in a casino that full. i hate to breathe the air that's coming out of the people mouth    i don't like playing in the crowded table also, it feels like someone behind me is going to send signal to the banker that whenever i call i actually have nothing.

some those spectators are casino's men. they got a watchful eyes at every corner.

Nothing can be compared in emotions when playing in a real casino. And this opportunity should not be missed. And when this is not possible, you can play online.

[LogitechMouse]

This is where online gambling steps up. I don't know how crowded casinos are but I saw in some of the movies with a scene in a casino and it is crowded. Now I know that it is really a crowded place .

Is it worth to play? or the crowd and the noise around you will just add to your stress?
Will you play on a crowded casinos? or just play online?

If you are a new in casinos and you are not adopt with the environment, you will feel more stressed especially with that number of noisy people around you. I'm not a gambler addict but if that is how casinos are in my place, I will not go because I don't want to go to a place with man people and I'd rather gamble online than going to a crowded casino .

when you called a person Gambler?that means literal and precise that the individual is there to Win.because for sure some of them are there because they are being invited by someone and just there to have fun so they are not gambler but visitors
so it depend on whats the purpose of person why he was in casino to earn money or have fun

I can't just imagine to have fun at the huge crowd, and so many people around you at the poker table.

sometimes its funnier when there are too many people.the more the merrier as what they say

what you mean when you say emotions ? you can see your opponents emotions and you can use it as an advanatage or you mean you can feel happy when you see real people and the ambiance of the place ?  both of them are present on live casinos but there are other people like me that just not confident to play outside  . my reason was because im scared because im a guy that loves to solo flight , im a paranoid and i think that someone is after me when going outside and i think they are going to steal my money

[Darker45]

Well, what do you expect from a region which is primarily developed as a gambling and shopping area? That is what Macau is selling as a tourism region of China. That is why it is called Las Vegas of Asia, because of its vast casinos.

But are you sure that even poker tables are also that crowded? I've entered casinos also and most crowded tables are those with baccarat and blackjack and other games. Poker games are a little bit far from the crowd and those people who are not players themselves.

There are some advantages and disadvantages playing with crowded casinos, one of the advantage is lot of money will roll, second, you will not feel bored since there are lot of people, the noise and laughs(on some game).

But there are also different people who are not comfortable with crowded, because let's say some people went on gambling just to pure earn money w/out having fun, so they are much serious then. Compare it with some people who are just going in casino just to have fun, especially if they are together with the friends.

It is your first time to travel abroad and you already said Macau has the best architectural casinos? Maybe you need to visit Las Vegas, Monaco, Singapore and other countries with great looking casinos too.

I am curious to know the best casino designs in the world too so I did some googling. Most sites consider Las Vegas as the place with best casinos especially Wynn Las Vegas. But this caught my attention. Is there any better casinos in the world that looked better than Marina Bay Sands?


I prefer to play in a quiet place. Not that quiet but not as crowded as pictured in op.

People have their own preferences. Some people can probably play better when it is crowded while others wanted the opposite. Maybe you should try to experience playing especially The Venetian is very popular too. Try to find out if you did well in crowded casino like that.

Its totally different when you do play on a crowded place than on playing online alone or just with your friends virtually.The essence or the feels of thrill

and interactions among other gamblers cant really be exchange when you had done it physically or face to face.If i do have the chance to visit out some
casinos then i would definitely do such thing but on my place only the filthy rich ones do has the right and not for a place for below average gamblers like me.

I won't ever gamble when there are population not even as populated as this place. I was beaten black and blue when I won my gamble in an open casino, they traced me to my home and beat hell out of me buy leave my family untouched. Gambling in an is like, someone who is preparing for a suicide mission. I won't ever try it out.

Your case is weird. Which country are you from? Did you win millions of dollars that they need to trace you to your home? Are there no police and security guards in your place?

Because even if you win millions on the casino pictured by op there won't be anybody following you. People crowding in that casino are rich people too and don't need your money. In some places there are expensive entrance fees when entering a casino.
