Philip Lee Wai Tuck, chairman of Cambodian casino operator NagaCorp Ltd, attributed the improved performance in terms of gross gaming revenue (GGR) in the first half of 2025 to a “steady increase” in the mass-market tables segment, particularly boosted by “higher-margin side bet games”. The company reported in August GGR of nearly US$332.3 million, up 17.2 percent from a year earlier. Premium mass revenue represented 37.4 percent of aggregate mass-market tables GGR in the first half of 2025, showed the company’s data. “The strategic rollout of higher-margin side bet games has consistently elevated win rates over the past 12 months,” observed Mr Lee. “Because of this, mass-market tables’ average daily GGR in first-half 2025 has already surpassed the average daily GGR in financial-year 2019,” he added.
