Measuring just 30 square kilometres – less than a 10th the size of the Island of Montreal – and packed with tourists with little to do to pass the time but gamble, Macau is not the most obvious hiding spot for an international fugitive. Signs on most tables advertise a minimum bet equivalent to $350 or higher. Over on the casino floor, other guests play blackjack or dai sai, a Chinese dice game similar to craps. There are plenty of backdrop options: a double-decker bus, red phone booths, a London Underground car and a statue of Winston Churchill outside a mock 10 Downing Street. Visitors pose for photos at the British-themed Londoner, the latest supercasino to open in Macau, the tiny Chinese territory that rakes in more money a year from gambling than Las Vegas.
