Analysts expect annual gaming revenue to reach US$31.8bn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Macau.- Jefferies<\/strong> has revised upwards its gross gaming revenue (GGR) forecast for Macau\u2019s casino sector. Analysts now expect GGR for 2025 to reach MOP248bn (US$31.8bn), up from their previous estimate<\/a> of MOP237bn (US$29.3bn). The figure would also be higher than government estimates<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jefferies cited the impact of entertainment events<\/strong> and new properties<\/strong> as well as operators offering \u201cmore incentives to players,\u201d and \u201cnew wealth\u201d benefiting gamblers due to positive performances in the real estate, stock and cryptocurrency markets<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysts Anne Ling and Jingjue Pei<\/strong> wrote: \u201cWe expect these drivers will continue to fuel GGR growth for the rest of the year. We expect events such as the NBA China Games and Macau Grand Prix will continue to help boost GGR in Sept-Dec.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jefferies expects GGR growth of between 13.8 per cent and 15.3 per cent year-on-year for the third quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this week, the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ) reported that Macau\u2019s gross gaming revenue (GGR) was MOP22.16bn (US$2.76bn) in August<\/a>. That\u2019s an increase of 12.2 per cent in year-on-year terms and slightly higher than July\u2019s GGR<\/a> of MOP22.13bn (US$2.73bn). Cumulatively, Macau\u2019s GGR for the first eight months of 2025 was MOP163.05bn (US$19.11bn), up 7.2 per cent year-on-year. The figure was 11.7 per cent below pre-pandemic levels (MOP198.22bn \/ US$24.75bn).<\/p>\n\n\n
