(Macau).- Gaming revenue surged by 6.6% in October, reaching its highest level since pandemic-era travel restrictions, driven by increased tourism and spending during China’s Golden Week holiday. The tally is a 20 per cent increase from the previous month but remains 21 per cent below the pre-pandemic level in 2019.
Gross gaming revenue reached 20.8 billion patacas (S$3.4 billion) for the month, according to data released by the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau on Friday (Nov 1). The result was in line with the median analyst estimate of a 6 per cent year-on-year increase.
The tally is a 20 per cent increase from the previous month but remains 21 per cent below the pre-pandemic level in 2019.
Macau saw a substantial surge in visitors during China’s seven-day holiday at the beginning of the month, with daily tourist arrivals exceeding pre-Covid levels from 2019 and reaching nearly 142,000. Most of these visitors came from the mainland, highlighting Macau’s continued appeal as a popular destination for Chinese tourists.
In September, Macau recorded 2.5 million visitor arrivals, representing approximately 91 per cent of the levels seen before the pandemic. The city is expected to release official data for October later this month, which may provide additional insights into post-pandemic recovery trends for the casino hub.
Macau’s gaming revenue received an extra boost in the last week of October, thanks to concerts by popular Hong Kong and Korean pop stars. These high-profile events attracted crowds and underscored the city’s strategy to use entertainment events to support its economy, particularly its critical gaming and hospitality sectors.
