Up to 50 VIP gaming rooms could be shuttered in Macau as a result of the lack of high rollers, various sources have forecast.
Another contributory factor is that many of the junket operators are finding it increasingly difficult to collect outstanding debts from gamblers.
Over the past three years, just over 100 VIP rooms have been created to cater to high rollers, but with the continued clampdown in mainland China by President Xi against high-level corruption, many of the high value gamblers have steered away from Macau.
