尽管美国当局严厉打击博彩行业，但其他国家或地区的博彩行业依然蓬勃发展。赌博，在世界上的任何一个地区都拥有众多爱好者。而对投资者而言，可以继续指望博彩业务发展的就是澳门，这是一位分析师的观点。在过去的几年里，世界各地都呈现金融萧条状态，澳门的博彩收益也略有下滑。但置身于澳门，很容易让人遗忘当前的财务困境。

　　澳门博彩行业发展得好的主要原因之一，是它提供有质量保证的赌博游戏和赌博环境，而且来自中国大陆的客户需求一直在持续增长。由于澳门是中国唯一合法的赌博目的地，当地人趋之若鹜，在这个半岛上的老虎机或二十一点赌桌上尝试自己的运气并不令人吃惊。

　　在澳门特别著名的赌博度假村是永利度假村。该集团在澳门设有两个度假村，最近得到了中国政府的许可，计划建设第三个度假村。据消息人士透露，永利集团计划投资20亿美元至30亿美元在中国建设第三个赌场度假村。如果发展顺利，澳门将成为最吸引狂赌者的赌博天堂。

　　永利集团在拉斯维加斯经营着另外两个酒店，该公司分析师说，澳门永利度假村的收入预计将超过拉斯维加斯的永利度假村。澳门永利度假村为永利集团带来了不菲的收益。

　　Macau Revenues Continue to Rise

　　With the state of gambling in the United States in disarrays following serious crackdowns by the authorities, it’s good to know that gambling in other parts of the world is doing well.  The one region in the world where investors can continue to count on the success of their businesses is Macau, which is, according to one analyst, “unbelievable”。  During the last few years, with the financial depression around the world, Macau profits slipped slightly, but it seems that financial woes have now been forgotten if the latest numbers are anything to go by.

　　One of the main reasons that Macau is doing so well is that there has been a huge increase in demand for quality gambling opportunities from the Chinese mainland. As Macau is the only legal place to gamble in China, it comes as no surprise that locals flock to this peninsula to try their luck on the slots or at the blackjack tables.

　　One chain doing particularly well in Macau these days is Wynn Resorts. The group operates two resorts in Macau and has recently received permission from the Chinese government to open a third.  Construction, according to sources, is set to begin “any day now”。 Building the new resort comes with a hefty price tag – between $2 billion to $3 billion – however, if Macau continues to attract high rollers the way it is right now, Wynn Resorts will soon be seeing income pouring in.

　　Wynn has been doing particularly well in Las Vegas as well, where is runs another two hotels. An analyst for Morningstar said that Wynn “had a much higher than normal win percentage in Las Vegas 。

　　The group raised its room rates in Las Vegas by 10%, which also brought in excellent revenue.
