He said these regulatory changes would not change anything when it comes to overall opportunities and growth in the Macau gaming market. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Bloomberg Markets and Finance<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5ZCuXcooIBg?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hornbuckle  said that MGM will not overreact no matter how matter what gaming analysts predict about the Macau casino market. Hornbuckle said they will wait until there is real evidence to prove that the crackdown is causing a major shift in the Macau casino market. <\/p>\n<p>Top casino operators like MGM Resorts, Wynn Resorts and Las Vegas Sands Corp. rely heavily on their Macau casino operations as it generates more than 50 percent of their gross gaming revenues (GGR). Bloomberg showed that in 2019, <strong>Macau\u2019s six casino operators generated a total of $360 billion<\/strong> which was 6x the amount of revenue that Las Vegas casinos generated in 2019.<\/p>\n<h2>Big Changes<\/h2>\n<p>These big earnings are the reason why some experts are concerned about the recent moves by the Macau authorities. In Sep, the Secretary for Economy and Finance in Macau announced that the government would be reviewing Macau\u2019s casino operations. This was done to increase government oversight over local gambling habits. This move sent gambling stocks diving, with $18 billion in value lost in a single day.<\/p>\n<p>Hornbuckle is not paying too much attention to this as he labels it a speed bump. He points out that the local <strong>Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau<\/strong> (DICJ) is already pretty strict as they already has a major presence in the two MGM casinos in Macau, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10casinowebsites.net\/news\/mgm-cotai-opens-in-time-for-the-chinese-new-year\/\">MGM Cotai<\/a><\/em> (pictured) and <em>MGM Macau<\/em>. Hornbuckle is positive that Chinese authorities will be more realistic about their enforcement efforts and these restrictions will ease up in the months to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China has continued to turn the screws on Macau\u2019s casino industry in recent months.
