The slump in gaming has reduced the number of VIP gaming promoters serving Macau to 148, about three-tenths fewer than two years ago, Business Daily reports, citing an estimate by the Association of Gaming and Entertainment Promoters of Macau.

The newspaper quotes association president Kwok Chi Chung as saying: “This number is about 60 fewer than the peak time of about 213 VIP gaming operators in business in the city back in 2013, when Macau had robust gaming results.”

Mr Kwok’s estimate takes into account the latest announcements of junket operators getting out of the business.
