Gross gaming revenue amounted to MOP18.3bn (US$2.27bn) in the ninth month of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Macau.- The Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ)<\/strong> has reported that Macau\u2019s gross gaming revenue (GGR) was MOP18.3bn (US$2.27bn) in September. That\u2019s an increase of 6 per cent in year-on-year terms, but 17.5 per cent behind August, when GGR reached MOP22.16bn (US$2.77bn), the highest monthly total<\/a> of 2025 so far. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casino operations in September were disrupted by Super Typhoon Ragasa<\/a>, which led to a government-mandated closure of casinos for 33 hours. The GGR result was in line with Citigroup\u2019s downgraded forecast of MOP18.5bn (US$2.3bn).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cumulatively, Macau\u2019s GGR for the first nine months of 2025 was MOP181.3bn (US$22.5bn)<\/strong>, up 7.1 per cent year-on-year. The figure was 17.7 per cent below pre-pandemic levels (MOP220.2bn \/ US$27.4bn). Looking ahead, analysts have high expectations for this year\u2019s October Golden Week<\/a> holiday period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July, the Legislative Assembly<\/strong> passed the 2025 fiscal budget<\/a> amendment bill, which forecasts annual gaming tax revenue of MOP79.8bn (US$9.87bn)<\/strong>, 5 per cent lower than previously expected. The government cut its GGR estimate from MOP240bn ($29.69bn) to MOP228bn ($28.2bn). At the time of the revised forecast, Ho In Mui<\/strong>, deputy director of the Financial Services Bureau, cited global economic conditions and changes in tourist consumption patterns as factors.
