The casinos of Macau have a heavy dependency on high rollers coming across the border from China. Macau-based junkets offer incentives and even credit to these wealthy Chinese players. They receive a fat commission from the casinos themselves for providing players who will happily spend millions of dollars at a single sitting. It goes without saying, that this creates a massive need for money laundering and wire fraud. As a result, China is cracking down on Macau casinos to stop all junkets.

Though US gamblers are pretty amazed by all the lights and dazzle of Las Vegas casinos, they haven't seen anything until they visit the gambling capital of the world, Macau. The sheer scale of the casinos situated along the Cotai Strip are mind-boggling. In truth, they make the mega-resorts of the city that never sleeps look insignificant. One thing that Macau understands and that's how important it is to attract not just gamblers, but also their families. So there's a lot to do for everyone.
