Mass-market GGR including slots in the second quarter was MOP27.04 billion, compared to MOP25.01 billion in the prior-year period.

The aggregate for all casino GGR in the second quarter 2017 had been reported on July 1 by the gaming bureau as standing at MOP62.90 billion, up 21.9 percent from a year earlier.

In the breakdown of that revenue, released on Monday by the bureau, VIP play as a proportion of all casino GGR for the second quarter stood at 57.0 percent, compared to the 51.5 percent contribution made by VIP in the second quarter 2016.

Mass-market baccarat as a segment accounted for MOP19.71 billion, or 31.3 percent, of all casino GGR in the second quarter 2017. In the second quarter 2016, mass-market baccarat had been MOP18.65 billion, or 36.1 percent, of all casino GGR. In the second quarter this year, revenue from mass-market baccarat increased by 5.7 percent year-on-year, according to the data out on Monday.
