Macau’s gaming operators generated gross gaming revenues of MOP$18.4 billion (US$2.30 billion) in November, down 11.5% on October’s post-pandemic record of MOP$20.8 billion (US$2.60 billion) but 14.9% higher than the same month in 2023.
It was also back to 80.4% of November 2019 levels, according to information from the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ).
With October having benefited from the Golden Week National Day holiday, industry analysts had expected a slightly softer November but have reiterated that gaming spend in Macau remains robust. They have also forecast a relatively strong fourth quarter compared with recent quarters due to seasonality and the ongoing strength of the premium mass segment.
