I've never been much of a gambler. Maybe it's because I'm cheap and parting with money that I'm probably not going to get back just doesn't seem like a good idea, or maybe it's because I'm not much of a risk taker. Nonetheless, lots of people love to gamble and as long as they're not sending themselves into serious debt, all the power to them. But where does one go to gamble? The casino down the road is a bit boring .. and smelly. You could head to Vegas, but everyone does that. According to MSNBC, here are the top 10 gambling destinations in the world:

• Aruba
• Atlantic city
• Goa, India
• Macau, just off the coast of China (It's just like Vegas, apparently)
  
• Mississippi Gulf Coast
• Monte Carlo
• Nassau and Paradise Island
• Niagara Falls
• Sun City, just outside of Johannesburg in South Africa

I guess it shows how much of a gambler I am -- I've never been to any of these places, other than Niagara Falls (but I went there for Maid of the Mist, not the slots)
