Gaming ends 2008
with MOP110 billion
M
acau’s gaming sector ended 2008 with revenue total-
ling MOP109.8 billion (13.7 billion US dollars), with ca-
sinos generating the largest share - MOP108.77 billion.
Data from the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau,
shows casino revenues rose by 31 percent, an identical figure to
that of the whole sector, which includes horse and dog racing, lot-
teries, basketball and football betting.
Outside the casinos, gaming generated a gross revenue of one
billion patacas (US$125 million).
Baccarat alone – the territory’s most popular game - was re-
sponsible for 87.17 percent of all casino revenues. The VIP market
(high rollers or whales), generated 67.82 percent and mass market
19.35 percent.
Throughout 2008, there were other significant revenue increases:
about 90 percent in dog racing, reaching MOP186 million (US$23.2
million); a 24 percent increase in horse racing; a little over 11 percent
in football betting and nearly 30 percent in basketball betting.
Revenues from slot machines also rose sharply – over 57 per-
cent - to a total of MOP5.6 billion (US$700 million US dollars).
Quarterly analyses show that there was a slowdown in casino
gaming revenue growth. The first three months generated MOP29.8
billion (US$3.7 billion) while in the last quarter the revenues were
just MOP24 billion (US$3 billion), lower than the last quarter of
2007 (MOP24.7 billion or US$3.08 billion).
The same trend was felt in the number of available tables and
slot machines. By the end of 2008, there were 4,017 tables and
11,856 slots, less 294 tables and 979 slot machines than in the first
quarter of the year.
