Australia is a destination that just over a million people visited so far in 2022. It’s diverse and has vibrant cities, an amazing outback, and many cultures to discover.
Australia is a beautiful country, but it’s also incredibly vast. To travel from one place to another takes a considerable amount of time, and that means you’ll often find yourself with plenty of time to kill, just waiting.
Australia has a reasonably good infrastructure of cell phone and data coverage (though less so in more remote areas), so one way to kill this time is to try a little online play. Keep these tips in mind if you’re gambling inbetween your flight delays.

Land based casinos used to be some of the biggest tourist draws for a country, with whole cities like Las vegas and Macau popping up in the middle of otherwise barren deserts, solely to meet the tourist demand. Though nowadays the online world is challenging the traditional land based experience, and you can cozy up in a luxury hotel room for the same type of thrills.
