After posting record EBITDA results for 4Q25 and full-year 2025, MGM China is gearing up for a strong boost from Chinese New Year for its first quarter results.
Kenneth Feng, CEO of MGM China
Chief Executive Officer Kenneth Feng, on the earnings call following the results release noted that “We see a very strong trend for Chinese New Year”.
While analysts have predicted a slowdown ahead of the holiday, which falls on February 17th, the festive period and the following week are expected to generate strong returns for Macau’s gaming operators.
MGM China has been bucking the trend recently though, with the CEO noting that “even ahead of the holiday, there’s no slow”.
Regarding punters, the executive highlighted that “the player quality is very high,” furthering that for the holiday period “we even have a long waiting list for our top players”.
The operator has been highly successful in dialing in on the premium segment, as evidenced by its results, turning any potential weaknesses into gains.
“We do have a limited room inventory,” noted Feng, “but we are putting in premium mix. We are very focused on quality over quantity. And yield management is always our strength. We are confident about the demand”.
Good Morning. In the Macau jungle, the lion does not sleep tonight. MGM China again gave competitors a run for their money in the fourth quarter, with its MGM Cotai property delivering $785 million in revenue and boasting a 55 percent increase in adjusted EBITDA. Macau peninsula growth remained slow, but contributed well to the 23 percent rise in the group’s casino revenue. Also in Macau, junket operations are still a thing, with a slight uptick in licensed operators from last year, but far below the total quota. And in the Philippines, Hann Online has debuted after a rapid-fire development and deployment period entrusted to PhilWeb.

TxODDS estimates that Super Bowl LX will drive close to $4 billion in wagers across international markets.
With legal sports betting now firmly established across large parts of the United States and international wagering on NFL continuing to grow exponentially, the Super Bowl is the single biggest betting event on the sporting calendar.
According to projections from the American Gaming Association $1.7 billion in betting handle is expected in the United States alone. In addition to the US handle, popularity in gambling on NFL is growing at a massive rate internationally.
With over 2,600 distinct markets to wager on in 2026, up from 1,700 in 2025 (+53%) TxODDS forecast that the U.S domestic handle will be topped, for the first time, by an international handle of over $2 billion.
TxODDS expects this year’s Super Bowl to generate:
Record levels of in-play betting activity;
Record demand for player props and micro-markets;
Significant pressure on live pricing and latency performance during peak moments.
Most popular markets:
Handicap Points
Over/Under Points
Player Props
TxODDS CEO Einar Knobel stated: “With NFL betting volumes continuing to grow year-on-year in the U.S. and more importantly, globally, we expect the actual total Super Bowl LX betting handle will be closer to $4 billion wagered across all markets on the game this Sunday. That scale of activity puts huge pressure on pricing, uptime, and in-play performance, and it’s where low-latency, high-integrity data really matters.”
The Super Bowl consistently delivers the highest single-day betting volume of the year, driven by a surge in in-play wagering, micro-markets and player props. As sportsbooks look to keep markets open deeper into games and offer more live betting options, the volume of real-time data updates and pricing decisions increases exponentially.
“The scale of Super Bowl betting activity isn’t just a headline number. It directly impacts how operators manage risk, how long they can safely keep markets open, and how confident they can be in live environments. Getting the data layer right on days like this is mission-critical.”

TxODDS provides ultra-low-latency odds, live event coverage and historical data services to sportsbooks and trading teams globally, supporting high-volume betting environments during marquee events such as the Super Bowl, World Cup and March Madness.

Slotegrator, a leading provider of software and business solutions for online casino and sportsbook operators, unveils Moneygrator AI Bot, the industry’s first AI‑powered assistant for payment integration.
The tool sets a new benchmark for how online businesses interact with payment infrastructure. Moneygrator AI Bot was officially presented at ICE 2026 in Barcelona, where it generated strong interest from operators, technical teams, and industry experts as a first-of-its-kind solution.
Moneygrator, a part of the Slotegrator ecosystem of solutions, provides a unified infrastructure for connecting, managing, and optimizing multiple payment providers across different GEOs. With the launch of Moneygrator AI Bot, the solution takes a new step toward automation by offering instant, 24/7 access to key payment-related information directly within the product environment.
Payment integration remains one of the most technically complex and resource-intensive stages for iGaming and online projects. Differences in local payment methods, regulatory requirements, commission models, and integration logic often slow down launches and create bottlenecks between technical teams and support managers. Moneygrator AI Bot is designed to remove these friction points by handling up to 80% of standard payment-related queries that previously required direct communication with an account manager.
Moneygrator AI Bot is positioned not as a replacement for human expertise, but as a digital assistant that enhances it. By taking over routine queries, the bot allows Moneygrator managers and technical specialists to focus on complex cases, custom solutions, and strategic support, improving the overall quality of service.
“Moneygrator AI Bot was created to solve a very practical problem — the lack of speed in accessing critical payment information,” says Maxim Petrov, vendor partnership specialist (payments) at Moneygrator. “Teams need answers immediately, especially during integration and launch phases. The bot we created gives them this speed, while our experts remain fully involved where deep expertise and custom logic are required.”
The launch of Moneygrator AI Bot reflects a broader shift toward intelligent automation in payment infrastructure. With the introduction of the AI bot, Moneygrator strengthens its position as a solution focused on efficiency, scalability, and real operational value for fast-growing online businesses.
