The investment bank says casino revenue trends remain stable despite seasonal softness in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Macau.- Gross gaming revenue (GGR) at Macau casinos is averaging around MOP703m (US$87.4m) per day in March<\/strong>, according to a recent research note from UBS<\/strong>. The investment bank said gaming revenue remains relatively stable so far this month and in line with market expectations, despite typical seasonal softness for Macau\u2019s casino sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Average daily GGR in the past seven days was up around 11 per cent year-on-year\u00a0 but down about 5 per cent compared to February. UBS expects Macau’s GGR for March to average around MOP690m (US$86.2m) per day, up 9 per cent compared to March 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As to be expected, the current daily run rate represents a moderation compared with the stronger performance seen in February but reflects steady demand from visitors to the city\u2019s integrated resorts. Analysts noted that continued tourism flows and entertainment events<\/a> hosted by casino operators are helping support visitation and gaming activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this month, UBS lowered its EBITDA outlook<\/a> for the Macau gaming industry in 2026 by about 2 per cent citing higher operating expenses during the fourth quarter of 2025. Despite the revision, UBS estimates that Macau\u2019s Gross Gaming Revenue will increase by around 5 per cent year-on-year in 2026, with growth expected to be stronger in the first half of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
