Citigroup Reports 17% Surge in Macau High-Stakes Gambling Volume for April

Stock News04-21

According to a research report from Citigroup, the total betting volume observed from high-stakes gamblers in Macau reached HKD 13 million in April, marking a 17% increase compared to the same period last year. The number of premium mass market players recorded was 644, up 5% year-on-year, indicating an 11% rise in per capita betting to HKD 20,203. During the period, a total of 31 high-stakes gamblers were observed, significantly higher than the 19 recorded in the same period last year.

The report highlighted that the most notable finding from the survey was the presence of high-stakes players at WYNN MACAU's casino properties. Nine individuals collectively placed bets totaling HKD 1.72 million, including the three highest bettors observed on the survey day. The bank believes that the novelty of the recently expanded Chairman's Club at Wynn Palace has contributed to the improvement in betting volume, reflecting that the principle "if you build it, they will come" remains applicable in Macau.

Additionally, the bank will continue to monitor MGM CHINA, as the company recently opened a new premium mass gaming area at MGM Cotai and launched a World Cup-themed Labubu doll redemption campaign to attract players.
