The figure was disclosed on Wednesday by Macau’s Statistics and Census Service. The bureau added that gross fixed capital formation in the gaming sector reached MOP4.35 billion last year, up by 36.3 percent from 2012, “owing to an increase in land premiums” paid by casino operators for land in Cotai and “major renovation projects”.
