Macau GGR up by 5.7 per cent in May

Macau’s gross gaming revenue reached MOP15.6bn (US$1.93bn) in May, up 5.7 per cent from MOP14.72bn (US$1.83bn) in April.

The May result was the highest monthly GGR figure since January 2020, showing Macau’s gaming industry is maintaining its positive momentum following the removal of most border restrictions on January 8.

The May tally was up 366 per cent from the prior-year period, according to data released on Thursday by the local regulator, the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau.

Macau’s casino GGR stood at MOP65bn (US$8.06bn) for the five months to May 31, an increase of 173 per cent from a year earlier.

The tally for the first four months of 2023 already beat the aggregate GGR for last year. In 2022, Macau’s casino GGR fell by 51.4 per cent year-on-year, to MOP42.20bn.
