Warm holiday destinations with some poker in dec/jan?

[I KNOW IT]

Cheers Craig.

Are they all located in one of the areas/beaches or scattered around? and what beach would be best to stay at location wise?

Also are the games fun or just full of local nits looking to scoop up tourist $$$? I know your not there right now but any info appreciated. 

Hi, all the casinos with live gaming are situated on the Mandovi river in Panaji (Panjim) which is the capital.. I could not tell you what the games are like these days but most of the pros have moved to Bangalore but the operators in Goa are trying to entice everyone back . Tournament schedules (India Poker Championship) is at the end of January.
Beach wise I would opt for accommodation in Candolim, Baga or Calungute. 30 minute drive to Casino.
it's  where all tourists stay mainly. Baga beach is not good though but there are others close by.
The best beaches are in the south but that's over an hour drive to the casino and 90 minutes to the decent nightlife in Baga. There are some good beaches also in the north which are around 30 minutes drive from Candolim.

Marrakesh? Not relaxing at all, but you might be able to get a comped room if you play enough poker?

Been before and wasn't overly fussed to go back to be honest mate. If I do go I think it will be Goa, I like India and have been meaning to go back for a while. Am moving house in the next couple of months, so it just depends what the timing is with that as to whether I go or not.

Malta could be a good option, I know they have a casino or 2 on the island and can vouch personally for the winter sun.
