Economics and statistics

The gambling economy of Malaysia is concentrated: the main share of GGR is formed by the only integrated resort in Genting (slots, tables, VIP), a stable cash flow is provided by the lottery segment and sweepstakes.

Fiscal revenues consist of license fees, gross gaming income tax, corporate taxes and excise taxes; strict compliance and control of cash/non-cash transactions support collection.

Online casinos are prohibited, so part of the potential turnover flows offshore, which affects the lost GGR and requires payment filters.

Demand is sensitive to tourism (high seasons and holidays), the MYR rate and consumer confidence.

Basic KPIs for monitoring: GGR by segment (slots/tables/VIP/lotteries), share of tourists in IR visits, loading of halls by day/hour, average check, margin after taxes, share of cashless transactions, ARPU lotteries and offshore sink assessment.

The general vector is the moderate growth of the offline segment due to tourist flow and operational efficiency while maintaining a prohibitive online policy.
