Is business pretty bad for you right now? Sure is for me
Zhuhai is actually quite an excellent place. It's got a good mix of urban and rural if you look properly.
Business is quite slow across casino sector. The visa restrictions that have been brought in (and raised twice) have impacted casual visitors quite heavily. I was told that this was a revenge factor due to the Macau govt. not donating enough $$$ during the earthquake crisis. So it may improve as hurt feelings heal - or not.
On the other hand, poker in particular is still getting bigger. Starworld now easily runs 5 tables on weekends. Grand Lisboa has up to twelve most weekend nights and even Grand Waldo manages to get a game or two running on really busy nights.
The recent tournaments exposed a lot of players to the growing poker environment and I've heard quite a few positive comments - along with the usual "dealer too slow", "blinds raised too quickly", "It's not like vegas" bitching.
Still it remains to be seen how many that visited for the tourneys will return to play regularly here.
