Macau.- The Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ) has reported that Macau\u2019s gross gaming revenue (GGR) was MOP21.89bn (US$2.71bn) in August<\/strong>. That\u2019s a decrease of 1.2 per cent in year-on-year terms but a rise of 8.1 per cent compared to July\u2019s MOP20.26bn<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cumulatively, Macau\u2019s GGR for the first eight months of 2026<\/strong> was MOP169.05bn (US$20.95bn), up 3.7 per cent year-on-year. The figure remains 14.7 per cent below pre-pandemic levels in 2019, when GGR totalled MOP24.26bn (US$3bn).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Citigroup\u2019s latest monthly casino table survey noted that the premium-mass segment<\/a> in Macau continued to show resilience in August. The report suggested that while there were fewer players, those present were spending more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
