Revenue growth in Macau could go up 50 percent-plus: Adelson

Gross gaming revenue growth in Macau could “easily grow” 50 percent or more this year, the chairman of Sands China, Sheldon Adelson told Bloomberg. Macau revenue surged 47 percent to MOP173.1 billion (US$21.6 billion) in the eight months ended in August. Mr Adelson also said Las Vegas Sands’ board is “seriously considering” paying a dividend as early as next year as growing cash from Macau and Singapore exceeds the company’s needs for potential expansion in Asia and Europe.
