Casino gaming is often considered as an important source for the development of a tourism industry; it can generate instant revenues, tourists, and job opportunities. The purpose of this study is to determine the accurate direction of developing the casino gaming market in Taiwan. The six factors for developing casino gaming business are geography environment, accessibility, human resource, tourism resource, tourist market resource, and the social aspect. In accordance with the findings of this study, Matsu might not be an appropriate place to develop the casino gaming as a result of too many limits on geography environment, accessibility, human resource, tourist market resource, and social aspect.
