Daily Asia Gaming eBrief: Macau February GGR to increase up to 12.8%

Off to a running start. The Year of the Horse is anticipated to bring with it a steady pace for Macau’s gaming industry. While expectations are for the holiday to disrupt play in the early part of the month, punters should return in force afterwards, with analysts predicting a yearly GGR increase of between 4 and 12.8 percent. Looking to South Korea, Jeju Dream Tower saw table games boost its January results, with a 55 percent increase in casino sales yearly. Meanwhile, Grand Korea Leisure has again denied that it will open a casino in Seoul, even though it previously announced it would study the possibility.
