Gambling in China is illegal under Chinese law

Gambling in China is illegal under Chinese law[1] and has been officially outlawed since the Communist Party took power in 1949.[2] Any form of gambling by Chinese citizens, including online-gambling, gambling overseas, opening casinos overseas to attract citizens of China as primary customers, is considered illegal.[3] In practice however, Chinese citizens participate in state-run lotteries, regularly travel to legal gambling centers overseas or in the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau and access gaming through offshore based proxy betting and online gambling companies.

So ccp only have gentlng like casinos & no Magnum, TOTO so forth?

The government is the house.

Most casinos around the neighbouring countries n in the region feeds on Chinese gamblers n tourists.

It is illegal for Chinese to run casinos in the country n also overseas. It is also illegal to invite Chinese visitors too. However, more than 300 casinos in Southeast Asia have efforts to entice Chinese visitors n benefit tremendously from it.

Chinese gambling tourism is a segment itself. In a way, the Chinese ban n crackdown on gambling benefits greatly the casinos in the region. Money outflow is bad for China but good for its neighbours.

Middle Eastern countries also have the same issue. U go any casinos u see Middle Eastern people n they bet big money
