However, at 7 o'clock on a Sunday morning, I expected to find at least one craps table with a 5 dollar minimum bet. Which is strange since there were 5 dollar minimum Caribbean Stud tables and Three Card Poker tables at 2 PM on Saturday the 16th. What gives Sands? Have some low craps minimums please.

Introduction

The Sands Macau opened in 2004 and is one of three properties owned in Macau by the Las Vegas Sands Corporation, the others being the Venetian and the Plaza. For those looking for the glitz and glamour of Vegas, try heading to the Cotai Strip for the Venetian. The Sands doesn't pay a lot of mind to periphery endeavors. Its only concern is with strict hardcore gambling.

Location

The Sands is situated on the southeast corner of the Macau Peninsula, directly opposite Fisherman's Wharf. That puts it about a fifteen minute walk away from the main casino action along Avenue D'Amizade. Despite its isolated location, the Sands is not alone. The JiMei, Grand Lapa and Waldo Hotels also ply their trade in this part of town.

Gambling

The main show at the Sands Macau is definitely gambling; everything else is almost an afterthought. Corners were definitely cut during the planning stage on floor aesthetics and lighting, but what you miss out on there is made up for by the sheer number of games available. More specifically the Sands has over 700 plus table games and well over 1200 slot machines. The action, on average, is expensive. $300 minimum tables are the norm. $100 tables are hard to find and each game may only have two or three such tables. Slots, on the other hand, are surprisingly cheap. There are plenty of 1, 2, 5 10 cent HKD slots to go around.

The gambling is spread out over four floors with most of it occurring on the enormous first floor. A smoke free casino is available on the ground floor while the high rollers head to the high limit exclusive members only Paiza Club on the third floor. (Interestingly enough the Paiza Club is not off limits to non members. Tables with minimums of $1,000 to $10,000 are common, while the highest one I saw was a baccarat table at $80,000. The Paiza club is separated into about 20 smaller rooms with three or four tables in each, with each room named after a city in China, for example, Guilin room, Beijing room, Dunhuang room, etc.)

For those ladies who only want to gamble in the company of the other women, there is a small ladies only section on the first floor, made up of three tables. All three tables are baccarat, with minimum bets of 300 and 200 respectively.

For such a large casino it is interesting that there is no poker room. Following is a list of the Sands Macau games. Unless otherwise indicated, normal Macau rules and payouts apply to all games.

3 card Baccarat: Rules.
Baccarat: More information.
No Tax Baccarat: I'd say a little more than half of the Baccarat tables at the Sands were no tax Baccarat. Players don't pay the 5% commission in exchange for only getting paid 50% on a won 6 dealer bet. More information can be found at the Wizard of Odds, where this game is referred to as the U.K. variant of Commission-Free Baccarat.
Blackjack: A quick note about the procedure. Dealers offer the surrender bet to all of the players prior to the player on first base playing his hand. That is the only time players can invoke the surrender rule, before the first player begins. In my opinion, it's completely unnecessary and caused some problems at my table that I'll get into later on.
Caribbean Stud Poker: The Sands Macau likes to stick it to the lucky recipient of a royal flush. Now we all know 100-1 is the standard payout, but the Sands is only giving 50-1. When I asked a lady floor manager about this, she told me it was the standard payout 'all over the world'. Unconvinced, I tried to bring some logic into the conversation by pointing out that a royal flush is a much better (and much more difficult) hand to get than a straight flush, and thus it should be paid more. She answered that 50-1 is only for the normal game and such a policy did not apply to the progressive jackpot, which was paid 100%. Of course that had nothing to do with what I just said, but I pushed on, noting that the progressive jackpot was only at 3,000,000, and for that not to be a sucker bet, the jackpot had to be at 6.8 million or more. To which she replied, 'then start playing the progressive more and it will get up there.' By then, I couldn't continue having that conversation with her anymore and walked away.
The Wizard agrees with me that 100-1 is the standard win for a royal flush. He adds that lowering the pay to 50-1 lowers the house edge by 0.004% only. It would seem a bad business decision, angering players used to the 100-1 win, at an average savings of one bet for every 24,000 played.
In the event of a tie between the dealer and the player, the suit of their two highest cards will be used to break the tie. Suit strength from strongest to weakest is as follows: spade, heart, club, diamond.
Casino War: Rules.
Fan Tan: Minimum bets are determined by the type of bet. Kwok, Nim and Fan minimum bets are $100, while Nga Tam is $200 and Sheh Sam Hong is $300. Rules.
Craps: The Sands has one table, paying 3-4-5 odds. Minimum craps bet is $50 HKD. Rules.
3 Card Poker - One table has no pairplus bet option, while all the other tables have it. Rules.
Roulette: All wheels are single 0. Rules.
Sic Bo: Standard Macau rules are followed. Minimum Sic Bo bets are $100, but combination bets are allowed. That is, players can make two separate $50 dollar bets at a time if they want.
Slots: The slots lover will not be disappointed at the Sands, unless they're into high stake slots. As I said, plenty of slot machines under $1 HKD abound. There is a high limit slots room on the first floor with only three $50 slot machines and five $100 slot machines. The majority of them aren't even high stake at all, only $1, $2 or $10. The exclusive Paiza club also has a slots room but there is nothing exclusive about it, with no machine exceeding $25. For a casino with such large minimum bets, I was surprised to see the slots so cheap. In addition to slots, electronic versions of baccarat, sic bo, and roulette are all widely available. Minimums for these games start at $10.
Video Poker: They have six Game King Machines that offer five different games — Jacks or Better, Double Bonus Poker, Double Double Bonus Poker, Deuces Wild and Joker Poker.

My Own Gambling

In order for any casino review to be authentic, the reviewer must gamble. To that end, I did what I had to do and entered the fray. At 2 pm I started playing Blackjack at a hundred dollar table, which was not easy to find, as there are only three of them in the whole casino. The table was empty when I started but soon filled up. On the whole I find the level of Blackjack playing in Macau to be noticeably worse than in the West. I'm not sure how many people here have heard of basic strategy. The mistakes made are plentiful and not easy to watch. I know there are beginners everywhere but even people here well versed in the rules of the game don't really know what they're doing. For some, I think they just play the game to get in on the 11-1 pair sidebet which is a
