受签证限制和部分中国信用卡消费限制，作为世界最大博彩中心的澳门赌场收入增长速度减缓，澳门赌场股票在香港股票交易所显现颓势。
银河娱乐集团收盘价港币18.12，下降5.7%；金沙中国收盘价下降5.8%；永利澳门度假村收盘价下降2.8%。
五月份，受广东当地政府或许在控制签证发放和中国银联降低信用卡的海外消费额度的影响，由中国大陆前往澳门赌博的游客数量可能下降，据澳门日报中文版6月23日报道：澳门赌场五月份收入同比增长7.3%，是自2009年7月份以来最低的增长幅度。
“根据澳门日报的说法，最近澳门博彩业收入和游客数量增长受影响的部分原因可以归咎为签证受限和中国银联限制高额消费” 美国富国银行的分析师卡梅隆。麦克奈特在6月25日的一份研究报告中表示“虽然预期这种情况在最近会有所转好，但我们认为澳门股票的表现会受到直接影响”
来自中国大陆的游客大潮，使得中国唯一一个赌博博彩合法地-澳门去年的赌场收入增长42%，提高了澳门赌场运营商的收入，大约有1600万中国大陆游客在2011年来到澳门。
据澳门博彩监察协调局的数据，上个月前葡萄牙殖民地澳门六家赌场运营商的博彩收入从去年同期243亿澳门元增长到261亿澳门元（折合33亿美元）。
“报告中提到的签证受限原因有些牵强”联合博彩集团澳门本部的分析师格兰特说“到目前为止还没有看到能够说服我们的事实”
在香港交易所，米高梅中国控股有限公司股价下降4.8%，亿万富翁何鸿燊创建的澳门博彩控股有限公司股价下降1.98%，新濠博亚娱乐有限公司股价下降2.5%，与之对比的是香港恒生指数上涨0.45%。

Macau Casinos Decline on Visa, Credit Limit Concerns
Macau casino stocks declined in Hong Kong trading amid speculation visa restrictions and limits on some China credit cards are slowing revenue growth in the world’s largest gambling hub.
Galaxy Entertainment Group Ltd. （27） dropped 5.7 percent to close at HK$18.12, Sands China Ltd. （1928） declined 5.8 percent, Wynn Macau Ltd. lost 2.8 percent
Growth in mainland Chinese visitors to Macau may have softened in May as the Guangdong local government might be tightening visa issuance and as China UnionPay reduces the amount that can be spent overseas on credit cards, Chinese- language Macau Daily reported on June 23. Macau casino gambling revenue rose 7.3 percent in May, the slowest pace since July 2009.
“Recent weakness in Macau gaming revenue and visitation growth could be partially explained by the visa restrictions and reduction in China UnionPay limits highlighted by the Macau Daily,” Cameron McKnight, an analyst at Wells Fargo & Co., said in a June 25 research note. “While expectations have recently moderated, we believe outperformance in the Macau stocks is likely to be limited here.”
Visitors from the mainland drove casino revenue up 42 percent last year in the only city in China where casino gambling is legal, pushing up earnings at Macau operators. About 16 million mainland Chinese tourists visited the city in 2011.
Gambling revenue for the six casino operators in the former Portuguese colony rose last month to 26.1 billion patacas （$3.3 billion） from 24.3 billion patacas a year earlier, according to the Chinese city’s Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau.
“The report on visa tightening is a bit speculative,” said Grant Govertsen, a Macau-based analyst at Union Gaming Group. “We haven’t seen anything so far to convince us this is happening.”
MGM China Holdings Ltd. （2282） slumped 4.8 percent, SJM Holdings Ltd. （880）， founded by billionaire Stanley Ho, dropped 1.98 percent, Melco Crown Entertainment Ltd. （6883） dropped 2.5 percent in Hong Kong trading. The city’s benchmark Hang Seng Index gained 0.45 percent.
Gigi Chiu, spokeswoman of the Macau Government Tourist Office declined to comment on the newspaper report.
