The Asian casino market is the biggest in the world, with Macau constantly outperforming Las Vegas in monthly gross gaming revenue (GGR) – which has once again become the case since the zero-Covid policy imposed on China by the Government was lifted in January 2023.
Meanwhile, Singapore’s VIP market provides the destination of luxury that many high rollers want when gambling substantial sums, while Mohegan has recently opened the Inspire Resort in South Korea.

Venetian MacauRevenue: $2.68bn
