Allocation of Macau’s 6,000 gaming tables and 12,000 slot machines: winners and losers

The Macau government has announced its allocation of tables and slot machines under the new concession period to commence from 1 January 2023.

The government had previously announced the number of tables and slots in Macau under the new concessions would be reduced to 6,000 and 12,000 respectively.

This represents a 13% reduction in tables from the former 6,925 under the table cap which applied to the previous concession period set to end on 31 December 2022, and a 3% reduction in slot machines from the DICJ’s last official count of 12,387 machines as at the end of September.

The biggest winner is MGM with an additional 198 tables to add to its former allocation under the table cap, representing an increase of 36%. MGM is the only one of the six concessionaires to receive an increase in table allocation, with the other five concessionaires, SJM, Melco, Wynn, GEG and Sands, losing 743, 196, 100, 79 and 5 tables respectively. SJM’s enormous loss of tables likely reflects the demise of many satellite casinos in Macau.

The current precise allocation of slot machines between the concessionaires is more difficult to estimate, but current industry estimates, known to be reasonably accurate, are shown in the table below. According to those estimates, the winners are GEG, MGM and Wynn, with increases in slot machines of 402 (31%), 349 (26%) and 110 (11%) respectively. Losing slot machine unit count are SJM, Sands and Melco with reductions of 768 (31%), 335 (8%) and 145 (6%) respectively.
