The resort\u2019s casino is one of the most extravagantly outfitted on our list, with a flawless score in the hotel, price of entry and reviews categories helping to push it towards the top.<\/p>\n<p>Casinos are businesses that make their money by attracting gamblers with games of chance (and some of them with an element of skill) and then taking a percentage of the bets made. This is known as the house edge, and it\u2019s what gives casinos their virtual assurance of gross profit. In fact, it\u2019s very rare for a casino to lose money on a single game. Casinos also offer big bettors extravagant inducements, like free spectacular entertainment and transportation, discounted hotel rooms and drinks while they gamble, and other perks. This helps keep bettors from losing their money and encourages them to return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A casino is a facility for certain types of gambling.
