os resultados surpreendentes da MGM

may24

MGM China President and Executive Director Kenneth Feng says the company’s incredible resurgence post-pandemic results from a “deep understanding” of its premium mass customers.

In comments made during the 1Q24 earnings call of parent company MGM Resorts, Feng acknowledged that MGM has a head-start when it comes to smart RFID/AI tables – which it first installed as far back as 2016 – but added the company has also worked hard to refresh its product offering to better suit an evolving player market.

“People are always asking how we are leading this market, why we are recovering in this way after COVID,” he explained.

“I just want to make a little bit of comment on that. What differentiates us in the market is really company-wide, from the senior management, we possess a deep outstanding of our customers, particularly the premium mass [customers], from their culture, their habits, behavior, background profile, even their home province and dialects.

“China is a vast country with a huge supply of nearly everything like cutting-edge technology and various hospitality products. Over the past three years, we didn’t waste our time and kept innovating and refreshing our products, our services to meet the ever-changing customer expectations.

“So, we are [continuing to do] that. We just launched two casino F&B outlets in April, which have been well received on social media and by customers.”

A MGM China anunciou ontem os resultados referentes ao primeiro trimestre deste ano, revelando lucros antes de juros, impostos, depreciação, amortização e custos de reestruturação ou de arrendamento (EBITDA, na sigla em inglês) recorde de 2,5 mil milhões de dólares de Hong Kong. Este valor significa um aumento de 77,3% em comparação com o mesmo período do ano passado e representa 155% dos lucros gerados no primeiro trimestre de 2019, antes da pandemia. Em comunicado de imprensa, a MGM China diz-se satisfeita pela “recuperação contínua” em Macau.

Por outro lado, no relatório enviado às redacções, a MGM China destaca o crescimento no que toca à quota de mercado, que é agora de 17%. Em 2023, a quota de mercado da MGM era de 15,2% e em 2019 era de apenas 9,5%. Dividindo a quota de mercado do primeiro trimestre pelas duas propriedades da MGM, o MGM Cotai ficou com 10,1% e o MGM Macau com 6,9%.

A MGM China assinala que as receitas brutas do grupo totalizaram 8,3 mil milhões de dólares de Hong Kong ao longo do primeiro trimestre, registando um aumento de 70,6% comparativamente ao primeiro trimestre de 2023 e alcançando 143% do registado no primeiro trimestre de 2019.

Citado no comunicado de imprensa, Kenneth Feng, presidente e director executivo da MGM China, afirmou: “O nosso excelente desempenho demonstra a nossa profunda compreensão dos clientes, com melhorias contínuas nos níveis de serviço. É também um testemunho da inovação contínua da nossa equipa na criação de experiências atraentes para os nossos clientes”. “O reinício da distribuição de dividendos demonstra a nossa confiança no futuro de Macau e da MGM China, juntamente com o nosso compromisso de trazer o retorno do investimento aos accionistas”, afirmou também o responsável da MGM China.

No cômputo geral, a indústria do jogo em Macau alcançou receitas brutas de 57,3 mil milhões de patacas no primeiro trimestre deste ano, ou seja, mais 65,5% face aos 34,6 mil milhões registados no primeiro trimestre de 2023. Em Abril, o sector do jogo registou receitas brutas de 18,5 mil milhões de patacas, mais 26% comparativamente a Abril do ano passado. Para todo este ano, o Governo colocou a fasquia das receitas de jogo nos 216 mil milhões de patacas, tendo preparado o orçamento anual com base nesse valor. Assim, o Executivo espera que, em média, sejam alcançadas receitas mensais de cerca de 18 mil milhões de patacas. No ano passado, recorde-se, a receita bruta do sector do jogo foi de cerca de 183 mil milhões de patacas.

jan24 The companies haven’t yet announced their results, so it’ll be very intriguing to see how that individual split happened. What are your expectations for what they’re going to be telling us? I think if we focus overall, we see the  overall gross gaming revenue reached MOP183 billion in 2023 , a remarkable comeback – 62 percent of the overall GGR in 2019, which is really great. But one little fact in there, that I think is really staggering, is that 87 percent of that was mass. And, that’s really showing a huge shift in wha t was going up, as we saw, and now we’re at a 75 percent/25 percent mix. And that’s something that the government always wanted, and it’s something that was accomplished very quickly. Now, that takes a lot of people, but we’re at a far lower percentage, we’re only at 71 percent of the visitation. We did that with 29 million versus close to 40 million. So, it’s a really big shift. You’re talking about a lot more – as we used to call – wear on the carpet to earn t

Exclusive gaming zones for foreign visitors

mar24 MACAU CASINOS TURN TO RFID TO TRACK FOREIGN BETTERS Facing failure to attract foreign gamblers, Macau casinos are turning to radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to track non-Chinese players’ bets and claim tax deductions as permitted under new legislation. Last year, the government announced an up to 5% tax break for casinos able to boost foreign gaming revenue, but initial efforts at isolating foreigner-only areas were unappealing to foreign gamblers. Now casino operators are installing smart table systems, and the government is providing equipment to facilitate tracking of foreign bettors’ wagers using RFID, said Secretary for Economy and Finance Lei Wai Nong. https://macaudailytimes.com.mo/macau-casinos-turn-to-rfid-to-track-foreign-betters.html mar24 Players from overseas that visit Macau casinos do not like to be put in rooms specially-designated for them , even though such a Macau government initiative offers the casino operators the  possibility of a lower tax

O que diz a lei proposta pelo Governo (a partir de 14/1/21)

jun22 Oanalista de jogo Ben Lee considera que a decisão “inesperada” de aumentar em 1 por cento os impostos indirectos em Macau vai “criar dúvidas e incerteza” entre os interessados em novas concessões, a partir de 2023. Uma comissão da Assembleia Legislativa de Macau terminou na quarta-feira a discussão da nova lei do jogo, que deverá ser votada, no plenário, na generalidade, a 21 de Junho. A versão final da proposta de lei que regula os casinos em Macau prevê uma subida de 1,6 por cento para 2 por cento do actual imposto sobre as receitas do jogo, entregue à Fundação Macau para fins culturais, educacionais, científicos, académicos e filantrópicos. https://hojemacau.com.mo/2022/06/17/analista-diz-que-subida-dos-impostos-em-macau-cria-duvidas-a-investidores/ jun22 An article in the latest draft of Macau’s gaming law amendment bill, published on Wednesday, sets the tax payable on casino gross gaming (GGR) at 40 percent, although the law gives an incumbent Macau chief executive (CE) the
