Macau Reopens VIP Junkets: Poker Tourism Set to Boom

The Macau Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau has officially lifted the moratorium on VIP junket operations, ending a five-year drought that pushed Asian high rollers to Manila and Jeju.\n\nIndustry insiders expect the legendary $500/$1000 NLH and $1000/$2000 PLO cash games at Wynn Macau to resume by Q2 2026. Triton Poker Series has already responded by doubling its Macau schedule for next year.
