Even going to a vacation with your family, if you really want to pay a visit to a casino, you can do it. After your tour within the day, and while others are falling asleep.

You can do the exploration or visit during at night for which most are visiting after the tiring day and from their day jobs.

Just don't forget to set yourself with a limit and you still have some nice places to visit by tomorrow so, you still have funds by that time.

If you are an avid fan of gambling then yes, you will consider visiting those gambling places but if not then you won't really bother checking them out. There are also two types of tourists. One is traveling there for other reasons but they may still play gambling only to extend that fun feeling they are experiencing when traveling. And the other one travels there for the main purpose of gambling.

This means they prepare a good amount of capital and their goal is only to win big. This is wrong for the most of us but what can we do? Nothing, as that was their money and I think they already know the consequence in case they didn't get lucky.

And maybe if an extroverted gambler goes on vacation to Las Vegas, they'll visit a physical casino to see what it would be like if they gambled for real in front of a large crowd. Maybe they will be curious about the taste and experience so that it could happen to them because apart from being able to gamble for real in front of many people, they can also chat with them while sharing stories about each other's experiences.

And yes, as a tourist, we should really be able to allocate the funds we bring and never use more money to gamble if we can't afford to see defeat. And remember, gambling in physical casinos can make you forget your goal of gambling in physical casinos and want to continue because of the various feelings that come to you.

There are really some countries or states in the US that casino is one of their tourist attraction and mostly, it's the reason why people visits that specific country even if you're with or without your family. Like for example Las Vegas and Macau, you can't really enjoy and leave the place without experiencing their casinos there but gambling should not be define as a way to make your pockets heavier and bigger because if that's your goal then I guess in most times, you'll get the opposite thing. Make it as a way of entertaining yourselves and your fellow family members so that you won't have a heavy heart when you lost the gamble because your first true aim is to get entertained, getting profits out of it is just a bonus.

we have the same thoughts about Vacation and about gambling activities , and besides if we are going to a vacation at least we will be with our love ones that will surely wanted to explore the special places in that said country and not to explore casinos that there are also in our own country 

but I want to have that thing , treating gambling as a Job? maybe I need to extend my interest in gambling and not just a place to enjoy and a bonus to win.

Gambling is a complex topic and regulations vary greatly from country to country (due to various traditional/cultural/religious reasons), but I would like to know in which country is lottery not gambling? Wiki says that lotteries have been held in Europe since the 15th century, and scientists believe that they were in a slightly different form much earlier - in the days of ancient Greece. And it has always been considered a game of chance, since the distribution of profit or loss is carried out randomly.
And you probably heard about instant lotteries? When you have to buy a ticket, erase the protective layer and see the result. What is this if not pure gambling?

You could rightly say, the meanor never gambled. I don't know what the rules are like but, its not like this meanor was taken all the way to the lottery store or something. It was just gifted to him or her and there are chances that, the meanor doesn't even under stand what he or she holds but, is buying a lottery ticket really gambling? Its not like your predicting any event but simply taking chances.
If I were to decide over such situation of a gift lottery ticket, I'll probably allow the meanor have his or her win. What's the point waiting till 18 or whatever age is considered legal. It could be voided as well if its wrong.

So you know that such case has made many people to quit from gambling, gamble have to things either you lose or you gain, and that is why is good for someone to be careful and calculate well before going into gambling , and secondly those people who gamble with borrowed money, I'm sorry for them and those people are the people are people who goes into depression, because of the pain, so i will advice to gamble with your money so that when you lost it, you will think and know were the fault come from.

Sometimes we don't know how it feels like using our own money to gamble and losing continually. It is very painful when you use your own fund to gamble and later lose everything because of the mistakes or lack of knowledge in playing in a particular way that could bring morr profits.
It is very obvious that we gamble most time without having in mode that we may be doing that at the wrong time. Children area never meant to gamble but in a covilise world where law is not that strong to make people to stick to law enforcement that will guide then through there actions.

Been to Macau a few times, most importantly before the pandemic, and I can tell you that it's not as crowded as they like to make it to be in documentaries or even movies. There are a lot of people but certainly not crowded, and you can even hop to a few other gambling platforms in there and notice that not a lot of people can be found inside the big casino names (Venetian, Lisboa, etc.). Most of the tourists in there are there to take pictures and stuff, and not play in these casinos so you might want to consider playing there and have a good time even for just a few hundred bucks.


The only places that are cheap to visit in the US are the remote states from the big cities (the Midwest, some states in the south, and some places in Cali) but you can obviously not get some gambling experience on these places. You might see some slot machines on the side of some convenience stores but it's as shady as it can get. If you want the best experience, Vegas is obviously the go-to option for you, and I can tell you, $5k is enough to experience literally almost everything there, excluding your hotel stay, airplane tickets, and other such things, of course.

You got the right intentions for this, gambling continues even while being a tourist, there are several places with opportunities about the type of gambling games they enjoy, being a tourist will ooennyou to their varieties in numbers compare to where you're coming from and the ones you've been used to.


But i must be frank here that this can only got your son involved it he's not an underaged child, except you will limit his participation to only playing games and not gambling, but it will always be a thing of fun being a tourist together with the family to enjoy gambling.

I have not been to the US either and I would be interested to see information from those who were there. It is clear that you can spend any amount if you wish, since all people have different concepts of minimum comfort, but it seems to me that even residents of third countries can quite save up for such a trip if they set such a goal.For example, for me, the most expensive part of the trip will most likely be air travel (I will have to fly from Europe). For those who live at least in Latin America or Canada, such a trip will generally be much cheaper.

Well me in particular if you want to see Las Vegas because even in the best movies the big casinos appear and that is something that I have wanted to know since I was a child, of course I even swore a little, although I think that my chances of winning there I don't know how good they are, but I think he would be amazed at everything he could see there, people in the USA and in Europe have great privileges and great freedoms, it really is something that they like, if that makes them happy I like it, in some moment I would like to have that opportunity, I imagine that there are many casinos in a row, it would be a sensational experience.

I've never been to the USA, but wow is $5k not enough? I know that things in the USA are a bit heavy because of all the war tabor that there is, however I have heard that to go to the USA it is not so much money that is spent, the meals and some things are cheap, the lodgings if I know that there are many expensive ones and it is very difficult to go and live there because of all that you have to pay for services and things like that, I believe that, despite everything, it is a country that moves thousands and thousands of dollars and that there will always be a way to resurface for people, especially for those in the third world, it is becoming more expensive, the most important thing is that in the USA there is inflation that continues to increase its levels.

My country is not on that list nor is it a place that gamblers will visit because it is not the right one or friendly for gamblers.
If anything in my country was reserved for gambling anyway it wouldn't be a place for me to visit, not even other places abroad, like Las Vegas or Macau, don't like to travel because want to gamble.
Places like that must be very crowded and don't like crowds especially to gamble openly even in the places that have been provided

Yes, the truth is that if I go on a trip and go sightseeing, I don't even think about gambling, not even in the casino. For me playing poker, which is 99% of my gambling, is like a job, it is a regular activity that I do to earn money. So if I go on vacation I think about tourism, not about working. The only exceptions would be, as you say, going to Macau or Las Vegas, where I would go to the casinos, of course.

The article seems Good , but visiting a country just to gamble means a lot for a big time gambler , meaning they will going to visit a site that has a best to deliver and offer.

Macao and Las Vegas is on the top and If i were to be given chance? that 2 places in which i am going to spend all my gambling money.


But thanks for the link , visiting this because I am going to bring my Son the next trip and surely will add Him to partner me in playing.

It is important to remember that just making mistakes is not enough to learn from them, we need to recognize that we did something wrong and then try to change our behavior.

It is because of this lack of introspection that we see so many people making the same mistakes and never learning from them, so it is a good thing you could eventually learn such an important lesson as it will not only serve you when you gamble but in a lot of other aspects of your life.

If you think that $5k is not enough, then you probably keep some other amount in your head when you talk about it? 6k? 50k? At least tell me approximately, I personally have no thoughts on this matter, but such an idea is generally interesting. Visiting Macau is an interesting idea and it would be cheaper for me, but still the USA is a more interesting country, and besides, there is a crisis in China, I don’t know how safe it is to go there.

These days the trend of online gambling is growing too much and i think physical gambling casinos are losing interest. Most people have shifted to online gambling during the covid days and now they are comfortable gambling at the comfort of their home. For this reason, I don't think tourists think of visiting gambling casinos to experience different gambling casinos at different places.

As far as legal age for the gambling is concern, it is also now not a big deal as in online gambling you will never know who is sitting at the backend of the computer playing gambling. Even though some casino will make KYC mandatory but then again a parent doing a KYC and his son may be sitting in front of the computer and using the parent's account. The control and restrictions on gambling age is also getting weaker due to online gambling.

I also started gambling when I was 17. I was aggressive when it comes to decision-making in gambling before since I wasn't using my own money in betting. I didn't mind losing all the time since that wasn't my hard-earned money but I learned how to control myself from too much betting when I started using my own salary. We could start gambling at a young age but we should expect that we can commit mistakes due to immaturity but those experiences will also serve as a lesson for us to grow and mature and be mindful of the risks of gambling.
