Macau has been the most successful casino in the past ten years within the industry but everyone is saying that it is finally on the down turn. One of the main problems is the Chinese government have make slight changes to the visa conditions for all the visitors in the Guangdong to the Macau area. The changes that have happened have put the gaming industry back years.
Currently the visa strict guide lines between Guangdong and Macau which give people rights to go to the are once every 2 months have now been changed to every 3 months. Now with this change we are seeing we are seeing that the gambling industry was not ready for this. Lots of people are not aware that Guangdong houses the main point for visitors to Macau and now the changes will more than half the repeat visitors and will really hurt the area.
This new sanction is bound to get on the nerve of US casino groups who have thrown millions at the casino region over the past few years. How can these figures now be reacquired and will the investors stay in the sector?
