That kind of growth didn't just come from mainland Chinese tourists.

By all indications, the HKJC runs a first class operation. But, yes, the Chinese like to gamble. The money bet on soccer games dwarfs the NFL action in Las Vegas. There are substantial increases in all forms of gambling. If it were just horse racing then that would be a completely different story.
