Inside Asian Gaming

IAG NOV 2022年11月 亞博匯 40 2022 POWER 50 At the end of the day, in our industry the concept of “power” generally comes down to direct or indirect control of money. The greater the GGR controlled, the greater the power. But it’s not all about GGR, it’s about profitability too – as we’ve recently seen in Macau. While the SAR continues to outstrip other jurisdictions in terms of GGR, it’s also booking hundreds of millions of USD in losses each quarter! And what, exactly, is control? It’s about influence, it’s about who is the ultimate decision maker, and sometimes it’s simply about who is the person everyone in the room looks to for answers. In the same way that a country is a country because other countries say it is, some people are powerful simply because other people say they are. Finally, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow judging panel members for their tireless work and excellent insights. And so, without any further ado, we present the 15th edition of the Asian Gaming Power 50. Enjoy! South Korea is home to 16 foreigner-only casinos. 韓國有16家僅對外國人開放的賭場。 大。但不僅僅關乎GGR，同樣關乎盈利 能力，正如我們在澳門所見到的，雖然 當地的GGR持續超過其他司法管轄區， 但其每季度也同樣錄得數億美元的虧 損！ 那麼，到底甚麼是控制呢？其實關 乎影響力、關乎誰是最終決策者，但有 時可能只關乎屋子裏的所有人想向其求 取答案的那個人。正如一國之所以是一 國，是因為獲得了其他國家的承認，而 一個人之所以具有「權能」，是因為其 他人公認他有。 最後，我想藉此機會感謝我們評委 會成員的不懈的工作和卓越的洞察力。 因此，事不宜遲，讓我們現在就來和您 分享第15屆的「亞博匯50強」。閱讀愉 快！
