I wonder how Macau is not a part of any of these two lists!! Macau is a country whose economy is based on gambling businesses where 40% of their GDP is delivered by gambling! But these are really land based casinos which means the numbers here show the tip of the iceberg. Due to the social taboos around the world, a lot of people don't really visit the land based casino and these group of people actually enjoys the online casinos from the comfort of their home! And it is really difficult to capture that number correctly!

Secondly, I see US is missing from the list as well! US has an entire city for gambling and it is a prime destination of gamblers and tourists from around the world. I am sure everyone wants to visit Las Vegas at least once in their life! So I seriously feel the list is flawed!

wow, wasn't aware that Macau had such a big gambling community, thanks for the information.

Studies and surveys can't be instantly generated and it is hard to find the latest especially during the pandemic.

Anyway, I've got this Top 10 Gambling Cities in the World in 2020 and has been published earlier this year, maybe this could help us. But probably there is a huge change when the pandemic hits us badly. However, I don't expect a huge change then.

Well, it is to expect that many countries have a massive growth of gambling institutions. And as OP mentioned about losses, it probably more than that as we think.

the links on the first post are from 2015 and 2017 but yours are from 2020 the more recent the more accurate i guess ? thanks for the links and by the way i gather the countries that are top 10 active in gambling from your link and here are they :

10.) Los Angeles, California
9.) Paradise Island & Nassau, Bahamas
8.) London, United Kingdom
7.) San Jose, Costa Rica
6.) Paris, France
5.) Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA
4.) Marina Bay, Singapore
3.) Monte Carlo, Monaco
2.) Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
1.) Macau, China

the huge change is that online gambling are now popular . gambling business are affected at the start of covid but later on they open doors online and its now back and bigger than ever but other countries that have recovered from covid are now going back operating offline . losses of people from those countries might be big but what about the wins , arent we going to talk about them

definitely better to have an update and having it city by city is really interesting.

I'd love to see the taxes charged for gambling on each place and total gambling revenue too, I bet it's really interesting data to look into and check for correlations and possible causations.
