Have you ever wanted to go to the world's biggest and best casinos? You may expect that the best casinos would all be in Las Vegas. You would be wrong. According to hotelresortinsider.com, the top five casinos in the world are scattered across the globe. Those that enjoy the occasional game of online poker need not have to find themselves in Las Vegas to experience the thrill of the win. You could also find yourself in London, Singapore, Macau, Massachusetts and Kazakhstan.

If you’ve been dabbling in a touch of gambling, perhaps a flutter on the horses or pushing all in at Ladbrokes poker, you might fancy a step up in the scenery. Take a look at our list of the top five casinos to see which might whet your wagering appetite.

Let's start in China. The Venetian Macao, is owned by Las Vegas Sands, and is a vast space covering 550,000 square feet. The casino houses 800 gambling tables, and for those that like the slot machines, there is a choice of over 3,000. Because of the size of the Venetian Macao, it is divided into four separate areas for gaming. These are the Phoenix, the Golden Dragon, the Imperial House and the Golden Fish. It's like Phoenix Nights on a larger scale.

The Marina Bay Sands in Singapore is a truly spectacular sight, of three huge glass buildings and it is no less impressive inside. With two large theatres, seven restaurants, and over 15,000 square metres of gaming areas. The casino comprises more than 600 gaming tables and over 2,000 slot machines, and is spread over four levels that can house up to 15,000 people at any one time.

If you don't want to travel all the way to the Far East to get your fix, then how about visiting London's biggest and best venue for gambling, The Casino at the Empire. Situated in Leicester Square, the casino offers a reward scheme that enables players to attend special events that the hotel offers from time to time. This is free to join for anybody who visits the casino. The casino is spread over two floors, and covers 55,000 square feet. All the normal games are here too, so whether you fancy taking part in big poker games, or simply feeding the slot machines, the choice is vast.

The Hard Rock Casino Biloxi, in Massachusetts, is part of the huge Hard Rock chain of hotels and casinos and is on the list for a few reasons. The casino is top quality, there are various places to eat within the complex, and there are regular rock bands performances, such as Poison and Heart, so you can turn the night at the casino into a night of entertainment and great food as well.

Kazakhstan is fast becoming one of the best casino locations, and the Zodiak Group has to take some credit for that. Since 2002, they have opened five casinos in the country, the first and the best being the one in Almaty. The sign at the front of the building actually won an award, and when the casino is entered, it is the décor that will take your breath away. Although not as large as the other casinos on the list, the Zodiak Almaty is still breathtaking and offers the usual mix of gaming tables and slot machines. With a main floor, and an exclusive hall, the mix of clientele is as diverse as any other casino.

Casinos are fast becoming bigger and better than ever before. The one constant with them is they are filled with people visiting to try their hand at winning the big one, and those who are content to just play for fun.
