The revenue figures obtained by the 35 Macau casinos remain astonishing. After an historic record of €3.385.186.370 in gaming revenues in the month of October, the month of November registered €2.781.948.425, representing an increase of 21.3% in comparison with the same period in 2012.
This number was well above the estimates of local analysts, who expected a slowdown in the market after a
historic October.
The Macau Grand Prix and the boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Brandon Rios are pointed as two of the main reasons for these high revenues.
With 35 active casinos (and another 8 under construction), the gambling market represents about 50% of Macau's economy .
Baccarat is the most profitable game for the casinos, with several casinos reducing the number of poker tables to open more baccarat ones. In Macau every casino has a set number of tables (indicated by the gambling authority) - as of now, poker is losing ground to baccarat.
