Macau: 'Baccarat too popular for slots'



Monday 9th June 2008

Recent government research found that up to 88 per cent of revenue in Macau's casinos was spent at baccarat tables.

Casino owners will be looking to reduce this figure as the game is not as profitable as others, with one dealer per twelve people, according to the Turkish Press.

It has been reported that Chinese gamblers tend to assemble around tables perceived to be lucky, leaving other tables empty.

Slots were a tiny proportion of revenue in Macau at 4.3 per cent, compared to Las Vegas where they were thought to account for up to 60 per cent.

Mark Yoseloff, chairman and chief executive officer of Shuffle master, commented: "It is very important we gain a better understanding of Asian gamblers, or more particularly Chinese gamblers."

It is thought that part of the reason for the lack of popularity of slot machines is the difficulty in making predictions and the general lack of experience in their use.

The Crown Macau casino plans to move 350 slots off its casino floor to make room for more table games.
