Located across a huge river delta from Hong Kong to the east is Macau. Macau is a special administrative area of China. It is part of the most densely populated area in the world. So it should do well from having a few casinos. It is important to note that it was a part of the Portuguese empire previously. Now it belongs again to the Chinese but it has different systems of governance due to the historic legacy.
It has possibly the biggest agglomeration of casinos in the world bigger than Las Vegas Casinos in the USA. It has massive gambling tourism. According to online sources in 2018 the industry brought in $37 billion. Most revenue comes from visitors from mainland China.
Macau is also linked to Hong Kong International Airport via a record breaking tunnel and bridge system, the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macau Bridge. It is a feat of engineering and maybe your way into visiting Macau casinos.
