12. Madrid, Spain
Gambling has become a national obsession in Spain. Isn’t that the perfect place for gambling enthusiasts to go to? The last thing gamblers want is people judging and telling them not to bet more money. And you won’t be getting any of that in Madrid.
Most casinos here open from late afternoon until early morning. Smart casual dress code is a must. But even though there are big casinos in Madrid, such as Casino Gran Madrid, it is best for you to join the soccer fans and bet on all aspects of Real Madrid’s matches.
And as we are just a few days away from Christmas, Spaniards are buying lottery tickets to El Gordo. It is the biggest lottery in the world with more than €1.7 billion wagered. However, each ticket costs €200.
Spain is ranked third in the world in terms of annual gambling losses. Each year, the country collects around $11 billion. And as for the loss per adult resident in Spain is around $300 per person.
