The business growth at MGM Macau is leading the gaming operator to make full use of all its gaming tables. MGM Macau’s president, Grant Bowie told Macau Business the casino was not previously making use of all its 427 approved gaming tables, with only around 380 effectively being used. However, “with the building up of the business” that took place in late 2009 and 2010, the company started progressively putting to use all its capacity. Mr Bowie stressed that all the gaming tables were approved by the government much before a cap for the industry was announced in March 2010. According to him, the company is basically making better use of its resources. In December 2009, MGM Macau was last on the league rankings of gross gaming revenue market share in the territory. The company had a share of only seven percent. However, MGM has been increasing its business volume and, last month had a market share of 11 percent, having climbed one spot on the ranking, ahead of Galaxy Entertainment Group.
