Macau casinos report the first annual profit gain for 3 years

According to figures from Macau's Gaming Inspection and Coordination bureau released on Monday, profits tacked on 19% for 2017 hitting 265.7 billion patacas.

In December, monthly gambling profit surged 15% hitting 22.7 billion patacas, which is a bit lower than experts’ hopes for surge f 17%-20%.
