HONG KONG -- The Asian gambling capital of Macau enjoyed a stellar 2018 as openings of family-friendly casino resorts drew customers from mainland China.
Gaming revenue rose 14% on the year to 302.8 billion patacas ($37.5 billion) for 2018, the second straight increase, data from the Macau government shows. Such revenue recovered to more than 80% of its 2013 peak as Chinese President Xi Jinping's anti-corruption campaign seemed to have toned down.
