The average player bet is up 58 per cent compared to 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Macau.- Citigroup<\/strong> has reported that despite adverse weather and economic conditions in China, the average player wager in Macau in September remained steady at approximately HK$20,314 (US$2,597). This figure represents a 58 per cent increase compared to the same period in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Analysts\u00a0George Choi<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Ryan Cheung<\/strong> also pointed to an upward trend in the average minimum bets, indicating an improvement in the quality of grind mass players. In September, the average minimum bet rose to HK$2,123, compared to HK$2,063 in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the premium mass segment experienced an 8 per cent decline in wagers, amounting to HK$8.8m, the survey found that the wager per player remained consistent month-on-month, defying the typical seasonal trend seen in September. Analysts attributed this to “high-rolling whales.” The survey identified 17 players betting HK$100,000 or more per hand, compared to seven in September 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Macau Business, the “Player of the Month” was spotted at the Chairman Club in\u00a0Wynn Palace<\/strong>, wagering HK$500,000. Meanwhile, at the Horizon Room of\u00a0Galaxy Macau<\/strong>, two whales, along with 15 other players, collectively wagered HK$980,000 at a single baccarat table after a series of eight consecutive banker wins. The survey highlighted Galaxy Macau’s dominance in terms of premium mass wagers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The average player bet is up 58 per cent compared to 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176,"featured_media":21500,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"Citigroup's report indicates Macau's average player wager in September held steady at HK$20,314, a 58% increase from 2019, despite adverse conditions.
