Your Daily Asia Gaming eBrief: Queen's Wharf Brisbane delayed until April 2024

The multibillion-dollar IR and residential project is now only scheduled to open in April of next year, handing the embattled company yet another setback. And in Macau, the pivot to mass appears to be working, as mass visitor spend is up by some 40 percent, say analysts, with expectations gaming operators' stocks could rebound on positive FY23 expectations.
