Expert Insights on Gaming Industry
The Gaming Industry is the business sector encompassing legal gambling activities such as casino games, racetracks and racinos, slot machines, table games, and sports betting. In recent years gaming has evolved into mainstream entertainment and an opportunity for capital investment in low-tax markets. Popular gaming destinations in the U.S. include Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and the Gulf Coast region. In China, the Macau gaming market is a significant profit center, generating over 40% of the local GDP.
