5. Macau gambling cooler

為澳門博彩業降溫

Anyone who's visited a Macau casino knows what it's like to be surrounded by whales -- finding a betting table with a minimum wager of less than $100 per hand is almost impossible.

到過澳門賭場的人都知道，這個地方到處都是大鯊魚——每一手下注都不會低于100美元。

And those are for ordinary gamblers.

而這只是對于普通的賭客而言。

VIP gamblers in some private rooms reportedly are required to wager as much as $125,000 per hand.

據報道，在專門房間里，VIP賭客們的每手下注不會低于12.5萬美元。

For a while, those high stakes made Macau hog heaven for high-rolling government officials.

曾幾何時，澳門是中國的一些政府官員們揮金如土的極樂天堂。

That was before Xi's high-profile anti-graft campaign aimed in part at government waste and corruption.

但這都是在習近平提出“反腐倡廉”之前。

According to industry experts, Xi's anti-corruption push has stopped a number of VIP gamblers from visiting Macau -- a major reason for a 27-28% plunge in the stock values of the six big casino operators in the city in 2014, according to the Financial Times.

業內專家指出，習近平的反腐行動有效限制了部分VIP賭客到澳門賭博。而據《金融時報》（Financial Times）報道，2014年澳門六大賭場的營業額已下跌27-28%。
