Inside Asian Gaming

IAG APR 2022年4月 亞博匯 100 10 YEARS AGO Likewise, visitor arrivals reached a record 39.4 billion in 2019 although GGR of MOP$292 billion (US$36.5 billion) was down on the all-time GGR record of MOP$361 billion (US$45.1 billion), achieved in 2013. As we know, the numbers surrounding Macau’s casino industry have contracted significantly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but it will be fascinating to see where recovery takes us when we celebrate 30 years since liberalization in 2032! “Nothing would be the same again, not Macau, not China, not the global casino industry, which could be said to be truly multinational from that day forward.” 「一切都將改變,澳門、中國、全球 博彩業都是。從那時起,博彩業可以 說是真正的跨國行業。」 當然,今天看來,當時的故事只說 到了一半。截至2022年,澳門共有42 家賭場 —— 其中兩家已經關閉,另外還 有6,198張賭桌和11,758台角子機。賭 枱和角子機的數量都曾在疫情前的2019 年達到頂峰,分別為6,739張和17,009 台。 同樣,2019年遊客人數達到創紀 錄的394億人次,儘管2,924.6億澳門 元的博彩總收入仍低於2013年創下的 3,607.5億澳門元的歷史記錄。 眾所周知,受到新冠疫情影響,圍 繞著澳門博彩業的數字已經大幅縮水。 但當我們在2032年賭權開放30週年時 再回過頭,看復甦將把我們引向何方, 想必會十分有趣!
