HONG KONG - Gambling revenue in the Chinese territory of Macau dropped 11.3 percent in January year-on-year, with the world’s biggest casino hub a near ghost town after authorities announced a raft of measures to keep visitors away and contain a fast-spreading new coronavirus. January’s figure of 22.1 billion patacas was worse than analyst expectations of a drop of around 2 percent - estimates that were made prior to the implementation of visitor restrictions last week.Transport links with mainland China have been curtailed, with dozens of flights and ferry services canceled.
