Macau.- JP Morgan Securities (Asia Pacific) has reported that Macau’s casino gross gaming revenue (GGR) potentially rebounded to “100 per cent plus” of pre-pandemic levels in July, primarily driven by the premium mass gaming segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report notes that the premium mass segment’s resurgence has been a key driver in Macau’s post-pandemic performance. In contrast, the grind\/base mass segment has shown a recovery of around 80 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JP Morgan’s analysis notes that while the VIP segment showed a modest improvement to approximately 27 to 28 per cent in July, it has yet to significantly impact earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) and cash flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to JP Morgan, the GGR run-rate likely increased to about MOP600m a day by the end of July despite a temporary setback caused by Typhoon Talim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau reported a 9.6 per cent month-on-month rise in GGR for July<\/a> to MOP16.66bn (US$2.07bn). That’s a daily GGR run rate of approximately MOP537m, about 68 per cent of pre-Covid-19 levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casino GGR stood at MOP96.80bn (US$12bn) for the first seven months of the year. Moody\u2019s expects Macau GGR to reach 45 per cent of 2019 levels this year<\/a> at roughly MOP131.6bn (US$16.31bn).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
