SINGAPORE – High rollers wagered more money at both of Singapore’s casinos in the first quarter of this year – but also got luckier, pulling down the operating profits of the two casinos.
Get the full story from The Straits Times.
Spending by high rollers at Marina Bay Sands in the first quarter rose 42.2 per cent from a year ago. But less was earned from them, leading to a 16 per cent year-on-year fall in the casino’s first-quarter operating profits to US$396.8 million (S$490 million), The Straits Times reported.
Resorts World Sentosa had a similar experience with high rollers, which led to its first-quarter operating profits falling 34 per cent from a year ago to S$255.4 million.
