Here’s a follow up article from the LV Review Journal that talks about the slowly changing table game market in Macao. Full article can be found here, but here are the higlights…

“New table games are slowly finding an audience in Macau’s casinos. Baccarat is still the main draw, but Asian-themed card and dice games, such as Sic Bo, Fan Tan and Yee Hah Hi, have gathered a following. Casino stalwarts blackjack, roulette and craps are also being used.”

“Las Vegas-based Shuffle Master has been able to place a small number of Casino War table games into the Macau market. The company recently bought the rights to Caribbean Stud Poker, which has between 175 and 200 tables in Macau. The company’s other popular titles, Three Card Poker and Let It Ride, have yet to gain a footing. Poker is still nonexistent.”

“With the casino growth, we’re starting to see interest from the players in a much wider variety of table games,” Leung said while walking through the casino at Wynn Macau. “Players are willing to try different games. Even at the older casinos, like the Lisboa, we’re able to bring in different games.”
