Macau\u2019s VIP baccarat revenue was MOP16.9bn (US$2.11bn).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Macau.- The Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ)<\/strong> has reported that VIP baccarat gaming revenue was up 3.4 per cent quarter-on-quarter<\/a> in the third quarter of the year at MOP16.9bn (US$2.11bn)<\/strong>. In year-on-year terms, the figure was up 29.1 per cent. VIP baccarat accounted for 27 per cent of all GGR in the July-September period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mass-market revenue<\/strong> accounted for 73 per cent of the MOP62.6bn (US$7.83bn) aggregate GGR. Non-VIP Baccarat<\/strong> play revenue reached MOP36.5bn (US$4.56bn), up 2.7 per cent year-on-year and 3.67 per cent sequentially. Slot machines<\/strong> revenue reached MOP3.44bn (US$429.6m), up 2 per cent quarter-to-quarter, and 10.5 per cent year-on-year. Meanwhile, Live Multi Game<\/strong> revenue came in at MOP1.24bn (US$154.8m).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this week, JP Morgan<\/strong> revised downwards its gross gaming revenue (GGR) forecast for Macau\u2019s casino sector for October<\/a>. Analysts now expect GGR to increase between 3 per cent and 6 per cent year-on-year, down from a previous estimate of 11 per cent. They have also cut their growth forecast for Q4 from 13 to 9 per cent. Analysts DS Kim, Selina Li and Lindsey Qian said that Golden Week numbers \u201cwere not so golden,\u201d and and that the period to November \u201clooks to be uninspiring.\u201d
