Macau\u2019s casino gross gambling revenue for May was up 24.8 per cent month-on-month but down 68 per cent year-on-year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Macau.-\u00a0The Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau\u00a0<\/strong>has reported that Macau’s gross gaming revenue in May was up 2.8 per cent\u00a0when compared to April<\/a>. It rose from MOP2.68bn (US$331m) in April to MOP3.34bn (US$413.4m) but was down 68 per cent when compared to May 2021 (MOP10.45bn).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysts attributed the month-on-month growth to China\u2019s Labour Day break, which saw\u00a0136,647 people visit Macau<\/a>. However, restrictions due to Covid-19 cases in mainland China meant GGR during the holiday period was lower than initially expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Macau\u2019s GGR for the first five months of 2022\u00a0<\/strong>combined stands at MOP23.79bn (US$2.95bn), down 44.0 per cent year-on-year. In April the city recorded its lowest GGR level since September 2020, a drop of 68.1 per cent\u00a0when compared to April 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
