1. WinStar World Casino | Thackerville, Oklahoma, USA

Size: 600,000 square feet

Number of slots: 7,000+

Table games: 100+

The world’s largest casino isn’t on the Las Vegas Strip, Atlantic City or even in Macau. In fact, it’s in a rather unusual location: Oklahoma.

WinStar opened in the early 1990s as a bingo hall near the Texas border. It expanded in 2003 to include electronic table games and slots, and doubled in size four years later. By this time, the gaming floor at WinStar has stretched to more than 380,000 square feet.

WinStar World Casino is owned and operated by the Chickasaw Nation. It’s just one of two dozen tribal casinos run by the Chickasaws in the United States.

After its latest expansion, the WinStar now features a dedicated high stakes room, a poker room with 55 tables and more than 7,000 slots and electronic games. Table games include American Roulette, Ultimate Texas Hold’em, and U.S. varieties like Mississippi Stud. There is also a large bingo hall on the WinStar site which can hold up to 900 players at once.

With capacity to expand further, don’t be surprised in the Chickasaw Nation continue to cement WinStar’s place as the world’s biggest casino.

2. The Venetian Macau | Cotai, Macau

Size: 546,000 square feet

Number of slots: 2,000+

Table games: 500+

The Venetian is Macau’s largest casino, and one of the world’s biggest casinos to date. The design closely resembles that of its sister casino resort in Las Vegas, which itself was modelled on Venice. In 2020, The Venetian Macau boasts itself as the city’s first integrated resort.

The hotel stretches 39 stories, and the gaming floor of 546,000 square feet is unrivalled in Macau. It was the world’s largest casino before being knocked off its perch by WinStar. You can play on any of 2,000 slot machines at the Venetian Macao, or choose from electronic table games like Dragon Tiger Fortune Spin and Fast Action Baccarat.

Away from the giant gaming floor, the Venetian offers fine dining in Portofino and Michelin-starred restaurants like The Golden Peacock.

3. MGM Cotai | Cotai, Macau

Size: 500,000 square feet

Number of slots: 1,500+

Table games: 175+

MGM Cotai is one of Macau’s newer casinos and opened its doors in early 2018. The resort cost around $3.4 billion to build and resembles a stack of large jewellery boxes.

If you’re not lounging in your room, one of 1,400 on-site, you can play in a gaming area that features more than 175 tables or 1,500 slots. Built to appeal to China’s new middle classes, MGM Cotai focuses on its $100 million theater, spa and priceless art displays to bring in the visitors.

In fact, you’re more likely to walk past major art installations before you even see a Pai Gow or Sic Bo table. The emphasis at MGM Cotai is most definitely on decor and high-end restaurants.

Size: 420,000 square feet

Number of slots: 1,450+

5. Wynn Palace | Cotai, Macau

Size: 420,000 square feet

Number of slots: 1,000+

Wynn Macau was one of the largest casinos in the world until Wynn Palace came along in 2016.

Filling over 420,000 square feet, Wynn Palace is only matched on Macau’s iconic Cotai Strip by City of Dreams, MGM and the Venetian. Every penny of the estimated $4.1 billion building cost has gone to good use.

The giant gaming area at Wynn Palace contains more than 1,000 slot machines and more than 350 gaming tables. Popular local games like Sic Bo and baccarat sit alongside roulette and blackjack. You can also play video poker.

Away from the casino floor, you can enjoy 5-star accommodations in one of Wynn Palace’s 1,700+ rooms and suites. There is also fine dining in the shape of Sichuan Moon, Mizumi and Wing Lei Palace, as well as a dozen casual restaurants.
