Macau.- MGM China saw the largest market share increase in terms of gross gaming revenue (GGR) in Macau in March 2026. That’s according to an investment memo from UBS. The operator\u2019s share of Macau\u2019s GGR rose 4 points from 14 per cent in February to 18 per cent in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UBS ascribed the higher share to hold volatility. Galaxy Entertainment saw its market share fall from 23 per cent in February to 19 per cent, while Sands China’s share of GGR declined from 26.5 per cent to 24.5 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UBS noted that the shifts were influenced by short-term dynamics, including the normalisation of VIP hold rates, rather than structural changes. <\/p>\n\n\n
