The Maven Meter: Paradise Kampek Casino
(Last updated: May 20, 2020)
PARADISE KAMPEK INTRODUCTION
Formerly known as Kam Pek Arabian Nights, the Paradise Kampek casino is a rare bird for Macau, given that it has no hotel.
A venue for only the most hard up of patrons, it’s mostly just floor after floor of Live Gaming Machines, featuring dirt cheap Baccarat ($20) and Roulette ($10).

DINING
The wretched Noodle Bar on the ground floor has finally been put out of its misery, leaving only one dining establishment on the third floor.
Long Cuisine – Long Cuisine has scrapped their Western selection and now goes all Chinese. Everything on the menu is priced between $48 to $68, with Cantonese, Shanghainese and Northeastern favorites all available.
Long Cuisine stays open for 24 hours.

THEÂ LASTÂ WORD
With about 700 Live Gaming machines, Paradise Kampek often feels more like an arcade than a casino.
For low limit Baccarat or Roulette players though, it’s not a bad place to be, particularly if you enjoy gambling in peace and quiet.
