The Casino:
There are two casinos inside of the Fortuna Casino - the mass market casino on the ground floor and the slightly more exclusive (not really) Fortuna Casino on the 5th floor. Like most of the middle-aged casinos in Macau, Casino Fortuna is essentially a hotel floor that has had its rooms removed and replaced with a ton of casino tables. The ceilings are a little bit higher, so they obviously planned to make it a casino. The dealers are friendly and the crowd is one of the more rambunctious and vocal than at most joints in downtown Macau.
Table limits range from HK$50 on up, with the average being HK$100 for the most popular game - Baccarat.
The real show here is on the sidewalk outside of the casino on the weekends. There are bunch of real characters outside, possibly Chinese gangsters and loan sharks - quite a raucous bunch.
Casino Games Offered:
Baccarat, Blackjack, Sic Bo, Video Slots, Three Card Baccarat, Big-Small
Comps & Perks:
Fortuna is owned by Stanley Ho's SJM / SDTM and uses their eCard to track play and comps.
Very tastefully redone recently. It's a cozy Baccrat lounge (I don't even think I saw a token roulette tabel there, or even a slot). Free buffet in the back of the basement (you get what you pay for though).
