Yakuza on Foot - Tomisaburô Wakayama (1969) - Casino Macau Palace, Macau

The Oriental Travel organisation is based in the casino floating in Macau's Inner Harbour - the Casino Macau Palace. I may have mentioned in an old post that the original casino structure started life as the very first Sea Palace restaurant in Hong Kong before being bought by Stanley Ho, taken over to Macau and repurposed as a casino. This was back in the early 1960s. It appears that by the time this movie was filmed in 1969, the original structure had already been replaced by this wooden version, familiar to anyone who has watched The Man with the Golden Gun and other movies from that era e.g. Flatfoot in Hongkong.
