It may be somewhat akin to a bald man winning a comb given the seriously low numbers Macau’s gaming operators are seeing right now, but for the third week in a row the main gaming floor of MGM Macau was the busiest of the 11 properties Inside Asian Gaming visited during the week.
The 11 IRs, comprising The Venetian Macao, Parisian Macao, Sands Cotai Central, City of Dreams, Wynn Palace, MGM Cotai, Galaxy Macau, Grand Lisboa, Wynn Macau, MGM Macau and StarWorld, averaged just 14 main gaming floor players during any given midweek afternoon, slightly down from 15 the previous two weeks based on IAG’s headcount. All counts were conducted on the afternoons of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
On average, each gaming floor had around five players (37%) on tables and nine players (63%) on slots. MGM Macau was by far the busiest with 23 players at the tables and eight on slots, while The Venetian Macao came in second best with eight at the tables and 15 on slots. Once again, Sands Cotai Central was quietest with only a single slots player.
