当澳门开始开放博彩业时，没有一家外国博彩公司预测到它会是亚洲博彩爆炸的开始。谢尔登·阿德尔森，史蒂夫·永利，和其他博彩产业大亨都纷纷在在新加坡，马来西亚，澳门设立了博彩产业，但现在台湾都在赌场行业中的表现尤另博彩大亨们感到惊喜。
澳门已成为世界顶级的博彩目的地，在过去十年里，其他亚洲国家都已经看到，中国有足够的赌徒来支持更大的博彩业。阿德尔森在澳门和新加坡等地区一直是博彩行业的先驱，目前他一直在游说台湾的国会议员允许他在台湾建设赌场度假村。
在马祖岛居民的投票中，有57％的居民赞成在岛上建设赌场度假村。赌博在台湾是非法的，但在2009年，国会通过一项法案，允许建设赌场度假村，但这些赌场度假村只为大陆游客提供服务。马祖岛所处的地理位置，使它第一经历了赌场热潮。
博彩分析师布拉德·道金斯说，“谢尔登·阿德尔森正在改变亚洲博彩产业的格局，目前亚洲博彩行业正在以极快的速度继续增长。亚洲赌徒一直是世界其他赌场的主要目标，他们有的为了赌博甚至环游了半个世界，甚至更多。”
在过去六个月时间里，澳门的博彩收入较往年增加50％。看到澳门当前博彩业的繁荣，政府已经颁布相关政策停止该行业未来的增长水平。政府不希望澳门经济实现多元化，不再单纯依赖博彩收入。
在台湾建设一个赌场度假村，可能会损害澳门的博彩经济，虽然只有轻微。但有人认为，台湾居民多数是亚裔，或许能帮助澳门成为世界博彩资本的一部分。
根据联盟的博彩产业规划，马祖赌场的建设，将致使部分台湾赌徒失去前往澳门参与赌博的热情。
整体探视澳门博彩经济，可以发现，只有5％的赌徒游客是来自台湾的。

Asian Casino Industry Expanding As Taiwan Approves Gaming Resort
When Macau started opening up its casino industry to foreign gaming companies, nobody knew that it could be the beginning of a gaming explosion in Asia. Since Sheldon Adelson, Steve Wynn, and other gaming tycoons have set up shop in Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, and now Taiwan have all jumped on the casino bandwagon.
Macau has become the top gaming destination in the world over the past decade, and other Asian countries have started to see that there are enough gamblers in China to support a larger gaming industry. Adelson has been the pioneer in areas such as Macau and Singapore, and he has been lobbying lawmakers in Taiwan to allow casino resorts.
The island of Matsu had its residents vote 57% in favor of allowing a casino resort on the island. Gambling is illegal in Taiwan, but lawmakers passed a bill back in 2009 that permitted casino resorts, as long as they were built off the mainland. Matsu is now in a position to be the island that first experiences the casino craze.
"Sheldon Adelson changed the face of the gaming industry in Asia, and the industry just continues to grow at a rapid rate," said Gaming Analyst Brad Dawkins. "Asians have always been a major target for casinos, and now that has become even more of a fact being that they don't have to travel halfway around the world to gamble."
Macau has experienced revenue increases upwards of 50% over previous years in the last six months. The gaming boom is going to such levels in Macau that current casino owners and the government have agreed to halt any future growth in the industry. The government is hoping to diversify the economy to not be as reliant on gaming revenue.
A casino resort in Taiwan would hurt Macau, although only slightly. Taiwan residents are part of the Asian community that has helped Macau become the gaming capital of the world.
According to Union Gaming, a Matsu casino would not be the end-all for Taiwan residents visiting Macau.
"Five percent of overall visitation to Macau is from Taiwan, and Matsu is less conveniently located from Taipei than Macau.
