A new high-limit gaming zone was recently launched at the Londoner Grand Casino, one of the two casinos at Cotai resort The Londoner Macao. Sands China Ltd, the property’s operator, confirmed the launch to GGRAsia.
The high-limit area features eight ‘smart’ baccarat tables, and is located next to the restaurant Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao, according to GGRAsia site checks on Monday.
At the time of GGRAsia’s visit, the new high-limit tables carried minimum bets of either HKD3,000 (US$383) or HKD5,000 for the main betting propositions, i.e., the banker hand or the player hand.
That compared to minimum baccarat table bet levels on the main floor of the Londoner Grand Casino mostly in the range of HKD1,000 to HKD2,000.
“We are pleased to confirm the Londoner Grand Casino opened a high-limit zone in May, offering premium service to cater to the needs of our guests,” Sands China told GGRAsia in a written reply.
The eight baccarat tables at the new high-limit gaming zone featured side bet options including tie, Lucky 6, Small and Big Lucky 6, Lucky 7, 2-card Lucky 7, 3-card Lucky 7, and Super Lucky 7, as well as the option for pair bets, as per GGRAsia’s Monday site observations.
While the baccarat side bets ‘Monkey no Monkey’ and ‘Pairs+’ were not featured at those high-limit baccarat tables, they could be found at some of the tables on the main floor of the Londoner Grand Casino. Those side bets – approved in late March in Macau – were described as “pioneered by Sands” in marketing slogans displayed on the gaming floor.
As per GGRAsia’s Monday checks, the main-floor minimum bet levels for baccarat play at the Londoner Grand Casino were generally lower than those at sister venue The Londoner Casino, also at The Londoner Macao resort. Minimum bet levels at main-floor live baccarat tables at the latter venue – all using ‘smart’ technology – were mostly between HKD2,000 and HKD3,000.
The Londoner Grand Casino, a revamped version of the former Pacifica casino, opened in September 2024.
