"Where should Chicago build its first casino?"

Whether the opening of James Packer’s new casino in Sydney can tip the scales in the battle with rival The Star to
lure cashed-up Asian visitors is emerging as the next big question for the gaming industry in 2019, analysts say.

The Australian casino sector faced a turbulent 2018, with concerns about a pull-back in consumer spending, China’s softening economic
growth and the volatility of high-roller revenue contributing to steep share price plunges, shedding billions of dollars in value.
