“In the next two to three years it is going to be the next wave of the golden age of Macau,” Lawrence Ho said. As he believes middle class Chinese will replace high spending VIP players.<\/p>\n

In a recent report from the government it is estimated that revenues generated by Macau’s mass segment is set to grow by 30% this year compared with around 10% for VIPs.
