HONG KONG--Gambling revenue in Macau rose 19% last year to 360.7 billion patacas ($45.2 billion)--or around seven times that of the Las Vegas Strip.

The Chinese territory finished the year on a high--earning 33.46 billion patacas in December, a 19% on-year rise and Macau's second-highest monthly total, according to data from the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau released on Thursday.

Macau, the only place in China where casino gambling is legal, saw 2012 gambling revenue rise 14% from 2011.
