The showy MGM Grand Macau has an impressive 410 games tables and 835 machines. Rather less roomy than the Tusk Rio, the Sands Macau still manages to squeeze 1000 games and 750 machines into its 229,000 square feet of floor space. But what does it do with all this room? Well here it’s all about giving the South African gambler space: the sprawling venue boasts a mere 12 poker and games tables, alongside 257 slots. Located around 100 miles south of Johannesburg, the Tusk Rio Casino Resort spans a staggering 266,330 square feet.

III – WinStar World Casino and Resort, Oklahoma Mind you, at 420,000 square feet, it’s still enormous, with 520 tables, 1350 machines and 1400 hotel rooms. The City Of Dreams seems positively bijou when compared to The Venetian – which is easy to do since the two casinos are just across the road from one another. Certain ‘smaller’ casinos put it to shame depending upon the yard stick you use. However, it’s only the biggest in terms of casino floor space. Within this massive space, you’ll find 870 gaming tables, and 3000 slots. Styled after a traditional Las Vegas casino… sorry, styled after Venice, The Venetian’s gaming floor area covers a vast 546,000 square feet. Spanning four counties and as many continents, here’s RightCasino’s list of the planet’s largest gaming houses.
