This is despite the region suffering an 80% fall in revenue compared to pre-pandemic levels over the last three years – a time in which it has been constrained by stringent lockdown measures because of Covid-19.

CasinoReviews.net believes its findings indicate significant opportunities for investors and operators looking at Macau, stating that despite the headwinds faced by the region in recent years, the market has remained “steadfast.”
