泰国是否会成为比澳门更大的赌场？

　　金沙中国已增加了其对澳门的博彩市场的股份，创下博彩联盟分析师研究有史以来的最高数字纪录。他们的客户加权股份为38.4％ -6月中旬和7月中旬之间最高值-比前一时期高2个百分点整。金沙远远超过第二位的澳博控股发布的29.8％。超过街道银河娱乐集团（18.1％），超过其余的场如永利澳门（4.8％），新濠博亚娱乐（4.7％）和最后米高梅中国（4.2％）。

　　游戏联盟计算访问量的方法是基于赌场公共巴士客户，他们也已经扩展到私人赌场。澳门威尼斯澳门21.8％位居首位，澳博葡京和葡京共为16.9％。澳门最新的赌场金沙城中心5.4％ - 较4月开幕周上升1.5％，。

　　拉斯维加斯金沙未经过飞地政府的批准把文件从澳门转移到美国。据网站ProPublica调查金沙中国的母公司，在2010年7月首席执行官史蒂夫·雅各布斯烧毁后不久，便将文件传遍美国。这显然是“错误”的行为，因为他们实际上只拿到了今年五月的批准。据曝光，美国一家法院去年要求同一文件时，没有提及文件已被移动。ProPublica 首次上周开始发出有关金沙中国的指控时，他们发现了在北京高级官员提出索赔指控后还能加重的电子邮件。

　　一个泰国的亿万富翁相信，他的国家可以击败澳门博彩纯收入。本周末谢国民告诉记者，该国应赌场合法化，并且“如果”他们这样做，他们“将获得比澳门更多的收入”。他还补充说：“我们已经拥有了地下交易。他们不交税，并且在暗中提供力量。为什么不使它们合法化呢？”

　　Sands China has increased its share of Macau’s casino market to record the highest figure ever seen by analysts Union Gaming Research. Their weighted share of customers was 38.4 percent – top of the pile between mid-June and mid-July – which was a full 2 percentage points up on the previous period. Sands pulled away from second-placed SJM Holdings, which posted 29.8 percent. That was streets ahead of Galaxy Entertainment Group （18.1 percent）， who were in turn miles ahead of the rest of the field that was made up of Wynn Macau （4.8 percent）， Melco Crown Entertainment （4.7 percent） and lastly MGM China （4.2 percent）。

　　Union Gaming’s method of calculating visitation is based on casino shuttle bus customers and they’ve also extended it to individual casinos. The Venetian Macau came out on top with 21.8 percent with SJM’s Grand Lisboa and Lisboa combining for 16.9 percent and Galaxy Macau taking 5.4 percent. Sands Cotai Central, the newest casino in Macau, polled 5.4 percent – up 1.5 percent since the opening week in April.

　　Las Vegas Sands moved documents from Macau to the United States without permission from the enclave’s government. According to investigative site ProPublica.org, the parent company of Sands China moved the documents across to the U.S. shortly after it fired chief executive Steve Jacobs in July 2010. This was apparently done in “error” as they only actually got permission in May this year. It came to light after a U.S. court had requested the same documents last year and there was no mention the documents had already been moved on. ProPublica first started to release allegations about Sands China last week when they showed emails that added more weight behind accusations of payment requests made by a high-ranking Beijing official.

　　A Thai billionaire is convinced that his country can beat Macau when it comes to gross gaming revenue. Dhanin Chearavanont told reporters this weekend that the country should legalize casinos and “if” they do they “will get more revenue than Macau”。 He also added: “We already have underground businesses. They don’t pay tax and also build dark power. Why not legalize it?”
