[Macau Casino Introduction] Casino Oceanus at Jai Alai
🌊 Casino Oceanus at Jai Alai Details
Hi everyone, I'm back again! This time, I'm taking you on a journey through a very unique casino in Macau—Casino Oceanus at Jai Alai . Compared to The Venetian, Wynn, and StarWorld, it's positioned differently, focusing on being "accessible, convenient, and easily accessible." It's the first casino many independent travelers encounter after disembarking! 🎰
📍 Geographical location and opening background
The Ocean Cube Casino is located opposite the Macau Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal . Its geographical location is first-class. It is just across the road from the ferry, which is very convenient for tourists coming from Hong Kong or Zhuhai.
- Predecessor : The original site was the famous "Jai Alai" building, once famous for its racquetball court.
- Opening date : Officially opened on December 15, 2009, and operated by SJM Holdings.
- Meaning of the name : The name "Oceanus" implies something related to "ocean", echoing the geographical location of the Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal.
- Architectural Features : The exterior wall is designed with wavy glass curtain walls. When the lights shine at night, it looks like a giant cruise ship docked at the seaside.
It was my first time to take a boat to Macau. As soon as I got off the boat, I saw Ocean Square. It felt like the "welcoming face of Macau"!
🛌 Hotel and accommodation
The Ocean Cube Casino itself does not have a large hotel, but it is connected to the isolated Jai Alai Casino/Hotel to provide accommodation services.
- Number of guest rooms : approximately 130. Although not very large, the hotel has complete facilities.
- Design features : The room design is simple and practical, tends to be economical, and is suitable for short-stay travelers.
- Convenient transportation : As it is just opposite the pier, there is no need to travel long distances, making it a popular choice for short-distance tourists in Hong Kong.
I think that although the accommodation here is not luxurious, it is convenient and suitable for people who want to make a quick visit to Macau🛏️.
🎰 Gaming facilities and entertainment experience
The gaming area of Ocean Cube Casino is over 30,000 square meters and it has four floors. It is a large casino.
-
Types of gambling games :
- Traditional table games such as Baccarat, Sic Bo, Roulette, and Blackjack
- Hundreds of various slot machines🎰
- Gaming environment : modern design, colorful lighting and lively atmosphere.
- Positioning : Compared with other luxury casinos, Grand Lisboa takes a popular approach and is visited by both tourists and locals.
My personal experience with Grand Lisboa is that it's down-to-earth and not too aloof, perfect for friends trying out a casino for the first time. 😎
🍴 Dining options
Although the Grand Lisboa Casino is not a dining destination, it does provide convenient dining services.
- Fast food options : There are Chinese fast food and tea restaurants, suitable for travelers who want to eat quickly before going out to play.
- Nearby restaurants : As the hotel is close to the city, there are many authentic restaurants around, such as Portuguese restaurants and seafood stalls.
The editor recommends that if you want "fast, cheap, and close", you can eat noodles in the casino; but if you want to experience authentic Macau cuisine, you have to go out to find food 🍲.
🛍️ Shopping and surrounding conveniences
There is no large shopping mall in the Grand Lisboa, but its location is very convenient.
- Internal facilities : There are a small number of boutiques and souvenir shops.
- External environment : There is a pier right outside the door, and there are convenience stores, supermarkets and duty-free shops nearby.
- Shopping positioning : It is not focused on luxury shopping, but convenience.
I think the biggest selling point of Grand Lisboa isn’t the shopping, but its location + transportation. It’s truly unbeatable 👍.
🎭 Entertainment and atmosphere
Although the Grand Lisboa Casino does not have the large-scale performances of the Venetian and Parisian, they both have their own characteristics.
- Architectural atmosphere : With marine elements as the theme, the interior decoration is full of modern sense.
- Entertainment atmosphere : Due to the large number of tourists, the venue is always lively.
- Connected to the Huili Entertainment Park : direct access allows visitors to experience both venues.
I think the Ocean Cube Casino is like a "front-end casino", the first place where tourists can feel the charm of Macau gambling after getting off the ship🎇.
🌟 Editor's summary
Casino Oceanus at Jai Alai may not be as luxurious as the Venetian or Wynn, but its unique features include:
- Super convenient! It's right there as soon as you get off the boat at the pier🚶

- A friendly and accessible place, suitable for first-time casino goers

I think Ocean Grand is the perfect casino for a "pop-up Macau" experience. No need to travel far, you can play right off the boat. Whether you want to try your luck or just take a photo, Ocean Grand has it all.
