Highlight of Business Operations:We view Rolling Chip win as a percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip win as a percentage of drop and slot hold as a percentage of slot handle. Win or hold percentage represents the percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip drop or slot handle that is won by the casino and recorded as casino revenue. Based upon our mix of table games, our Rolling Chip win percentage (calculated before discounts and commissions) is expected to be 2.7% to 3.0% and our Non-Rolling Chip table games have produced a trailing 12-month win percentage (calculated before discounts) of 29.2%, 20.6%, 42.1% and 22.8% at The Venetian Macao, Sands Macao, Four Seasons Macao and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. Our slot machines have produced a trailing 12-month hold percentage (calculated before slot club cash incentives) of 5.7%, 4.6%, 5.6% and 5.3% at The Venetian Macao, Sands Macao, Four Seasons Macao and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. Actual win may vary from the trailing 12-month win and hold percentages. Generally, slot machine play is conducted on a cash basis. In Macao and Singapore, 31.7% and 35.6%, respectively, of our table games play was conducted on a credit basis for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
Consolidated net revenues were $2.58 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $236.8 million compared to $2.35 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was driven by $265.6 million of net revenues at Sands Cotai Central, which opened in April 2012, and a $145.4 million increase at Four Seasons Macao, partially offset by decreases of $86.0 million, $59.4 million and $42.8 million at The Venetian Macao, Sands Macao and Marina Bay Sands, respectively.
Casino revenues increased $205.2 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase is attributable to $249.5 million of revenues at Sands Cotai Central and a $141.5 million increase at Four Seasons Macao, driven by increases in Rolling Chip volume and win percentage. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $86.9 million and $59.0 million at The Venetian Macao and Sands Macao, respectively, due to decreases in Rolling Chip win percentage and volume, as well as a $44.4 million decrease at Marina Bay Sands, driven by a decrease in Rolling Chip win percentage.
