Gaming | Leong estimates MOP16 billion revenue in Sept

Gaming revenue for September is estimated to have been around MOP16 billion, according to the Secretary for Economy and Finance, Lionel Leong.
The secretary noted that gaming revenue in September is usually lower than that in August. In previous years, the average drop was between MOP2 billion and MOP3 billion.
When questioned about the Dore Entertainment theft and the claims that residents have not been able to withdraw their investments from the junket group, Lionel Leong said that authorities are investigating the situation. He refused to make any further comment on the Dore case.
Also related to the gaming industry, Mr Leong said that the task of determining the number of gaming tables to allocate to the newly established casino-­resorts is still in progress. He stressed that the government will take each project’s non-gaming elements into consideration.
