AERL’s August rolling chip turnover US$1.49 bln

Asia Entertainment and Resources Ltd had unaudited rolling chip turnover of US$1.49 billion last month (MOP11.9 billion), a 1 percent year-on-year increase, the Wall Street Journal reports. The company attributed the rise to its purchase of a VIP gaming room at Le Royal Arc Casino in June. The company’s rolling chip turnover for the first eight months of this year was US$11.53 billion, 10 percent less than in the equivalent period last year. High-stakes baccarat is the most popular game in the company’s VIP rooms.
