Macau Casinos Pledge to Invest $15 Billion

Macau’s six casino operators pledged to invest nearly $15 billion as part of new 10-year contracts they signed to operate in the world’s biggest gambling hub, with the spending on non-gaming activities to exceed gaming spend by more than 10 times.
The signing of the contracts eases fears of investors and executives after a lengthy bidding process that had threatened to end one company’s run.
Macau’s leader Ho Iat Seng and officials including the city’s finance and economy secretary presided over the signing at Macau’s Government House together with top executives of the casino companies.
Incumbent operators Sands China, Wynn Macau, Galaxy Entertainment, MGM China, Melco Resorts and SJM Holdings beat off a surprise bid from Malaysia’s Genting to win the six licences on offer in the Chinese special administrative region.
The new contracts come into effect on Jan. 1, 2023.
Each casino head was invited to sit at a long red table alongside the government officials as they signed. The executives included Pansy Ho, the billionaire daughter of Macau’s gambling godfather Stanley Ho, and who heads MGM Resorts’ (MGM.N) Macau company MGM China.
The operators are expected to focus on non-gaming activities in the new term, particularly as Beijing is keen for Macau to diversify away from gambling and attract foreign tourists.
The total investment committed by the gaming companies for the development of non-gaming projects is 108.7 billion patacas ($13.57 billion), with the total investment in gaming projects 10.1 billion patacas, the city’s government said.

GMONITOR PUBLISHES THE ONLINE GAMING REPORT IN SPAIN – Q2 2025

Reading Time: < 1 minute
Gmonitor.ai presents its new Online Gaming Market Report: Spain Q2 2025, which provides an in-depth analysis of the DGOJ data on the regulated market between April and June of this year.
The report places Spanish online gaming in a stage of consolidation: year-on-year growth of 18.6% (€410.3 million in GGR) confirms the strength of the sector, but also the transition towards a more mature market, a trend driven by technology, regulation and operator loyalty. The two leading verticals, online casinos and sports betting, account for more than 94% of revenue, with €216.4 million and €171.4 million respectively.
In addition to financial analysis, the study delves into player behaviour patterns, highlighting a 23.7% increase in deposits and a 28.9% increase in withdrawals, reflecting greater liquidity and spending per active user. However, the number of new accounts registered fell by 11.6% compared to the previous quarter, a sign that the market is beginning to mature and focus more on retention than acquisition.
“The Spanish market has entered a phase where data, regulation and player loyalty define profitability. Gmonitor converts this information into a competitive advantage and lower costs for all players in the sector”, highlights the Gmonitor team.
The document devotes specific sections to casinos, betting, poker and bingo, as well as the regulatory environment and medium- and long-term strategic prospects. The report is available for download and can be complemented with a personalised demonstration of the platform, where users can explore how they can generate their own reports and access more granular information tailored to each user and organisation.
