Asia Gaming Brief is a news, events and networking company focused on Asia Pacific’s rapidly expanding gaming industry.
Good Morning. There can be too much of a good thing. For Macau, currently that’s croupiers, as the post-pandemic conditions have caused a mismatch between availability and demand. Staff retention programs, the new gaming licenses and smart tables are all having an effect on this surplus, notes an insider. Still in Macau, CLSA has lowered its GGR forecast for this year, with uncertainties from a slower pick-up in the second quarter and China’s stance on illegal money exchange.

Macau recruitment trends leveling off: Insider
Macau is currently suffering from an excess of croupiers, a position that can only be held by local residents, as the post-COVID recovery trails off and amongst changing market conditions. Mandated retention of staff during the pandemic, the closure of satellite casinos and the attractiveness of the role has caused a glut. Smart table technology is also having an impact, says an insider, as tables are more efficient, overall requiring less manpower.
