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.”

Specifically, the findings made by CasinoReviews.net suggest that Macau’s market is expected to recover at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7% between 2021 and 2026.

Theaffiliate adds that with Sands China, Wynn Macau and Galaxy Entertainment continuing to dominate Macau’s market, and the development of new resorts and entertainment complexes in the pipeline, this predicted growth is all the more assured.
