The author of the article is quite clueless. The casinos, both in vegas and macau, have been taking a beating since early 2014. So, I am not sure what kind of “revival” he’s talking about. The “corruption” crackdowns pursued by the chinese govt had a lot to do with it. As for baccarat, that game has been popular in vegas for as long as….when asians first showed up. The question is if this corruption crackdown is to continue, what kind of affect does it have on the real estate buying by the chinese?
