The Reuters news agency reports that the gambling island of Macau off the Chinese coast has enjoyed another successful month; revenues in March 2011 rose 48 percent to 20.1 billion patacas, according to the latest government statistics.
Macau’s casino industry is booming on robust demand from gamblers from mainland China, who account for the bulk of the territory’s visitors. The former Portuguese enclave is the only place in China where mainland Chinese can legally gamble.
