The Casino Bar recently opened at the Mangrove Tree Resort in Sanya Bay. The bar is 30,000 sq. m, designed to look like a casino and features the same licensing practices and rules as casinos in Macau. However, for the time being, gamblers do not win cash prizes; their winnings can only go toward their stay in the hotel or purchase of luxury goods at the hotel store. Gambling is currently only open to hotel guests, however locals will be allowed to gamble too once the project is completed. The local government is very supportive of the project, and is in the process of making changes to the current regulations that prohibit gambling. The Casino Bar marks the first time the Chinese government has experimented with developing a gambling industry in the mainland.
