2022 Macau’s gaming regulator approved 46 junket licences, which is just over half the number approved in 2021. Tis year there were 36 licensed junkets according to the DICJ with only seven registered collaborators in the Macau market in September 2023. Most have shifted from the mainland Chinese source market to Hong Kong.


Te regulator has established a cap of 50 for junket licensees in 2024. Sands China and SJM have been given permission to partner with up to 12 junkets in 2024. MGM and Melco can team up with eight junkets while Galaxy and Wynn have a cap of five junket partners next year.


After years of big business within the junket sector, the crackdown, the pandemic, and Macau’s bid to stop capital flight from China means thousands have also lost their jobs. Te unemployment rate which sat at two per cent for the last 10 years reached 4.6 per cent in March last year, the highest reading since 2009.


A SHIFT IN OPERATIONS


Casinos are now shifting their focus to mass market gaming. On the plus side the win per player is up significantly and the mass gaming revenue which dropped drastically during the pandemic is now up to almost 2019 levels. Te second quarter of 2023 (to end June 2023) market wide mass gaming revenue was 87 per cent of Q2 2019.
