Growth is clearly not a problem for a bustling boomtown taking Vegas by storm. As of Wednesday, it’s official. Macau has unseated Las Vegas as the most profitable gambling city in the world. Las Vegas “only” made $6.6 billion last year. That’s $400 million less than Macau, and only serves to strengthen the notion of Macau’s “upward trajectory of tourism being led by the casino gaming industry,” says Casino Gambling Web. 

Better still, the newest gambling Mecca is expected to easily double its $7 billion revenues by the time 2010 rolls around. Couple that with news of a historic welcoming of 25 million visitors this year alone (a173% jump in visitor growth from the 9.16 million visitors in 2000), and even you’ll agree: growth is not a concern.

And, sooner than you think, explosive growth opportunities will begin to hit Macau-related companies, too. One of those is TransAct Technologies (TACT), which supplies printers used in slot machines and video lottery terminals that print tickets (instead of issuing coins at casinos, racetracks, etc.).

A supplier of printers, Ian? Yep. I know it doesn’t sound sexy. But what if we toss in news of its “inked” deal with Wynn Macau (the first casino to open with 100% TACT-supplied printers)?

Even better, TACT just announced that it is expanding into Macau, as, according to Bart C. Shuldman, chairman, president and Chief Executive Officer (as quote by Yahoo!), “The Asia gaming market is just beginning to take off and the opportunities for TransAct to gain additional market share are vast.”

TransAct (TACT) is just one of many Macau opportunities. Read more about Macau-related companies in this free report: http://taipanfinancialnews.com/gamblingstocks0307.html.

TransAct Technologies (TACT), which currently trades just under $7, is a buy under $9.  Contact: 7 Laser Lane, Wallingford, CT 06492, phone: 203-859-6800. Visit: http://www.transact-tech.com
