    This is obviously a multiple choice poll. Tell me if I've left anything out (Antarctica, Mars).

    As an Australian, I've obviously played in Australia. The US, too. I don't recommend Australia...

    I didn't know some of those places had casinos.

    Is it safe to AP in the Middle East?

    Generally speaking, gambling is illegal in the Middle East. Some hotels that have mostly American and European clients have had casinos for hotel residents (many in the oil industry). Not unlike some islands that don't allow their own citizens to play. Some of these casinos have had very good rules.

    Never heard for casinos for hotel residents only. Do you care to name them?

    Bahamas used to only allow non residents to gamble.Cambodian casinos are only open to non Cambodians,but it is rarely enforced.There are quite a few others.

    Saudi Arabia had a few. I don't know if they're still open. Burj al Arab in Dubai has a casino, even though casinos are illegal in Dubai. I think they get away with it as it is built on a manmade island. It's common in the Caribbean to not allow their citizens in the casinos. They are there to make money off the tourists -- not to addict the residents. The rules vary all over the world. And, even within some countries.
