The main floor win percentage of 25.2 per cent was slightly higher than the previous year&#8217;s 24.9 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adjusted earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) was HK$2.4bn (US$286m).&nbsp;That&#8217;s a 5 per cent decrease compared to the first quarter of 2024&nbsp;and 146 per cent of the first quarter of 2019. In quarter-on-quarter terms, EBITDA was up 11 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MGM&#8217;s gross gaming revenue (GGR) market share was 15.7 per cent compared to 15.5\u00a0per cent in the previous period.
