An employee walks past slot machines inside a casino on the opening day of Galaxy Macau, the latest resort in Macau May 15, 2011. Some of the world's biggest casino operators are betting that Chinese moms and pops who like to gamble and also want to shop and dine will turbocharge growth over the next few years at Macau, the world's biggest gambling destination. Macau, located on the Southern tip of China and an hour away by ferry from Hong Kong, has so far relied heavily on China's young and wealthy for casino revenues, which totaled about $24 billion in 2010 -- well above what Las Vegas earned.
