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”.
