August’s casino gross gaming revenue (GGR) in Macau rose by 12.2 percent year-on-year, standing at nearly MOP22.16 billion (US$2.76 billion), showed data released on Monday by the city’s Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau.
Casino GGR in August marked the best monthly performance since January 2020, just before the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. The latest monthly tally was slightly up compared to July’s MOP22.13 billion.
The August tally took the aggregate GGR so far this year to circa MOP163.05 billion, 7.2-percent higher than in the prior-year period.
In a memo last week, banking group JP Morgan also said Macau was having a “busy and happy summer”.
It added: “We foresee sustained double-digit GGR growth in the coming quarters at least until first-quarter 2026.”
