Macau GGR growth to slow to 3-7% in 2026 amid limited capacity, weaker China consumption: S&P

Macau’s gaming sector is transitioning from a post-pandemic rebound to a maturity-driven phase, with gross gaming revenue expected to remain 10 percent to 15 percent below pre-pandemic levels in 2026, according to a report released by S&P Global Ratings.

The ratings agency forecasts Macau’s GGR to grow between 3 percent and 7 percent year-on-year in 2026, marking a notable slowdown from the 9.1 percent expansion recorded in 2025. Analysts Flora Chang, Rivka Gordon and Melissa A Long attribute the deceleration to near-full hotel occupancy, limited additions to gaming capacity, and the slower-than-expected return of base mass players.

Weaker consumption dampens growth outlook

The softer outlook also reflects broader economic headwinds in mainland China, where the gradual withdrawal of government stimulus is weighing on consumption. This trend could erode discretionary spending on leisure and travel, the report notes, although analysts add that the risk has eased compared with a year earlier, given that gaming demand remained stable throughout 2025.

Sector resilience continues to be underpinned by premium mass players, who have shown greater resistance to economic pressures than base mass customers. Even so, overall GGR is expected to remain below pre-pandemic levels, with tighter regulations on junket operators continuing to constrain the VIP segment.

Despite revenue headwinds, S&P Global Ratings expects EBITDA for rated issuers to grow by around 5 percent in 2026. This projection is supported by steady mass-market demand, modest wage growth, and disciplined promotional spending, with the report highlighting ‘steady growth in Macau’s mass gaming market’ as the key driver of profitability.

Competitive dynamics are expected to evolve in 2026, with Las Vegas Sands and Melco Resorts positioned to gain market share in the mass segment. The operators are set to benefit from the ramp-up of The Londoner Macao and the reopening of The Countdown Hotel, which should help drive additional customer traffic.

In contrast, SJM Holdings may continue to lose share, as customer volumes have not been effectively redirected to its remaining properties following satellite casino closures, while Grand Lisboa Palace continues to underperform expectations.

MGM Resorts International has recorded the largest gains in mass-market share since the pandemic, rising from 18.4 percent in 2019 to 19.2 percent in the nine months ended September 2025. S&P attributes this to strong performance at MGM Cotai and the allocation of additional mass tables under its new concession. The group’s ‘differentiated product in the premium mass segment’ is expected to support its competitive position.

Galaxy Entertainment Group remained the market leader with a 25.4 percent share as of September 2025, followed by Sands at 24.4 percent.

Deleveraging critical for rating upgrades

While capital structures are stabilizing, heavy capital spending and shareholder payouts are likely to push aggregate discretionary cash flow into deficit in 2026. S&P Global Ratings notes that refinancing needs are comparatively light for 2026, with debt maturities concentrated between 2027 and 2029.

For four operators—Wynn Resorts, MGM Resorts International, Melco Resorts, and Studio City (under Melco)—a return to pre-pandemic rating levels hinges on achieving lower leverage and demonstrating the ability to maintain it.

Las Vegas Sands returned to its pre-pandemic BBB-/Stable rating in 2023 and maintains a stable outlook. However, ratings on Wynn Resorts and MGM Resorts International remain one notch below pre-pandemic levels. Although their leverage has fallen below upgrade thresholds, ‘rating upside hinges on our confidence they will maintain lower leverage after incorporating operating volatility and shareholder returns,’ the report states.

The ratings on Melco Resorts and Studio City also sit one notch below pre-pandemic levels due to higher debt accumulated for new capacity during the pandemic. The stable outlook expects Melco will continue to deleverage to below 4.5 times by the first half of 2026.

The auction, scheduled for February 25th at the Taiwan Police Academy, will feature 32 of the seized cars, including a Bugatti Chiron and limited-edition models like the McLaren Senna LM and Ferrari Monza SP2. This marks the first time the academy’s facilities will be used for such an event due to the significant number of high-value cars involved.

The Prince Group, based in Cambodia, has faced legal troubles, including indictment by the US Department of Justice for alleged involvement in transnational investment fraud and money laundering. Taiwanese authorities have already arrested 25 individuals linked to the group and seized over NT$4.5 billion ($142.3 million) in illegal assets.

Investigations revealed that the Prince Group has 12 companies in Taiwan, with four directly linked to money laundering.

Two other companies involved, Tianxu International Technology and Haoyue Company, were said to run online gambling operations, with investigations finding they were essentially aiding money laundering activities.

Additionally, to conceal their criminal proceeds, Chen Zhi and Li Thet established an underground money exchange in Taiwan and directed their network’s operations to set up a “Hengxin Exchange” in mainland China.

Celebrating six years of slick gaming with JILI

Marking six years in the Asian gaming industry is no small feat, and JILI kicks off 2026 celebrating this milestone with a proven track record of resilience and strong performance throughout 2025.

Key takeaways

The iGaming ecosystem changes faster than almost any other industry. The sense of speed, pressure and expected growth all crammed into a shorter timeframe are par for the industry and only the fittest will survive.

Reaching Year Six

Founded in 2019, JILI set itself to be a leading game developer, focused on innovation and entertainment as a reputable business that ambitious operators and smart players would gravitate to.

A rapidly changing and growing iGaming market has seen the globalisation of gaming. This has led to increasing player demands for innovation, authenticity and visibly fair gaming: and for regulators to demand compliance, transparency and player first safety. A potent mix for providers.

Not just surviving, but thriving and scaling for six years signals resilience, credibility, and strategic maturity. JILI has driven successful growth through its ability to pivot with each new direction and to use its experience to pre-empt change and constantly deliver the experiences that stick with players and satisfy operators.

Now, with stable release pipelines for a 100% guaranteed roadmap, sufficient data for maths model refinement, established B2B relationships and a raft of recognisable IP/hit titles, JILI is ready to step up to tier one recognition, aided by its industry leading releases and trust in its brand. And that’s worth celebrating.

An Emerging Top Tier Provider

Launching in 2019 with just 15 games in six languages, JILI now offers in excess of 230 titles across 24 languages for Slot, Fishing Shooting, Arcade, Bingo, Table and Crash.

The portfolio also boasts 10 branded games and is proud of its industry-defining player favourites such as Super Ace, Golden Empire and Fortune Gems.

Super Ace ‘s card theme plays out over a 5-reel, multiple-row layout or ‘megaways’ design to give up to 1,024 ways to win as opposed to fixed paylines, meaning wins result from matching symbols on adjacent reels.

With cascading reels, the Golden Joker, Wilds and jackpots, the combination of table and slot game mechanics provides differentiation for operators as well as immersive gaming for players.

Golden Empire takes players on an Ancient Egyptian treasure hunt with 32,400 ways to win through a feature combo of Megaways/dynamic-reel/cascading-reels with added Wilds, Multipliers and Free-spins.

This style of immersive gaming positively impacts player retention in both JILI and the igaming ecosystem for long-term player engagement, which is exactly what every casino manager is looking for in a supplier.

With the Fortune Gems series, straightforward rules and gameplay enhanced with dazzling graphics and smooth animations attracted players from the first spin.

Each slot release has a unique feature including Lucky Wheels and Split Symbols, while Fortune Gems Scratch mixes crash style gaming with Scratchcard win potential. Players click and drag the screen. If they reveal three Aztec masks, then up to 10,000x max win could be theirs. No surprise that this is JILI’s number one series.

Offering multiple ways to achieve big payouts through special multipliers or surprise triggers, JILI has created games that create long-term engagement whilst being instantly recognisable visually.

Proven Product Identity And a Reputation for Innovation

Delivering successful and high impact gaming experiences has made JILI a respected brand for innovation in slots. Players and operators now know what they can expect, but six years ago, JILI revolutionised play, especially with its Fishing releases.

Taking inspiration from fishing table games and arcade shooting games, JILI designed a video style concept to provide differentiation from slots. With no reels or paylines; multiplayer capability for social gaming experiences and genuine challenges for skill-based play, JILI’s Fishing-Shooting games appealed across demographics and locations.

Players were equally impressed with the immersive gameplay and substantial multipliers as they were with the 3D cinematic visuals and efficient shooting mechanisms. Making the games lightweight and mobile first, JILI turned Fishing-Shooting into a niche vertical whilst building its brand for innovation.

2021’s release Fortune King Jackpot connected with players on the grand scale and is still the No.1 game across multiple jurisdictions. Jackpots, mega multipliers and a bonus Chinese New Year game keeps players on the edge of their seats.

Firepower comes through Dragon Power Shotguns, a Rocket Cannon and a Free Deep Sea Whirlpool that charges with every shot to deliver non-stop gamification to a diverse audience looking for entertaining, immersive and safe gaming.

It is this combination of edge of seat thrills through innovation in play, win potential and confidence in the legitimacy of JILI through certification that has made it an industry leading provider over the last six years.

Credibility for Player and Partner Confidence

With certifications through GLI and BMM for JILI releases, all games have been tested for authenticity and reliability in Random Number Generation (RNG) so players can be assured that every spin is fair.

Not only do players respond to this integrity, but operators do too. Providers like JILI which offer predictable release cycles, reliable uptime, responsive technical support and demonstrate commitment to compliance, future proof themselves for regulatory changes and are more likely to secure tier one casino operator partnerships.

JILI’s longevity in iGaming is also due to its successful B2B partnerships which provide the right environment for its legitimate and engaging portfolio. Creating two way partnerships is critical for effective feedback, honing localisation skills through real-time data mining.

Using this feedback and data effectively ensures that each new release is a guaranteed success, appealing to the target market and enabling efficient and effective segmentation for quick results through high engagement.

Building the Future

Regular new releases keep content fresh and appealing. JILI’s high impact, high engagement games set the standard for immersive gaming and are admired throughout the industry.

It is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but there is only one JILI. Its authentic, certified games are only available from the provider and are stand out in terms of creativity, quality, RTP, engagement and retention KPIs.

To rock celebrating the sixth anniversary, new branded games and celebrity collaborations are in progress.

Working with a Boxing Legend, JILI is ready to deliver a superb co-branded slot. Featuring the legend himself on the symbols, the cascading reels and a generous multiplier combo will have players dancing with excitement, ready to go toe-to-toe for explosive gaming.

The game will be available exclusively with two leading casino platforms, so make sure to follow JILI on social media to secure a place in the ring!

More co-branded anniversary releases are scheduled with a Hall of Fame cricketing legend in production. So players and operators can look forward to continued innovation and authentic gaming experiences with world-class sport stars from the leading content provider.

Six years is a long time in iGaming, giving JILI the scope to build its brand and presence. Intense competition, regulatory uncertainty, tech and security challenges have all been met and overcome, with each year reinforcing JILI as an established business with a long-term future.

Here’s to the next stage.

South Korea’s GKL says Seoul casino plan remains ‘undetermined’

South Korea’s GKL says Seoul casino plan remains ‘undetermined’

South Korea’s Grand Korea Leisure (GKL) has denied that it has made any firm decision on developing a casino resort in Seoul, following recent media reports suggesting a strategic shift by the state-run operator.

In a regulatory filing on Tuesday, GKL said the disclosure was issued in response to a report published on January 19th by The Korea Economic Daily, which claimed that the company was considering the development of a casino resort in the capital. GKL stated that the matter remains ‘undetermined’.

The company said it is currently ‘preparing to apply for a preliminary feasibility study with the Ministry of Economy and Finance’ regarding the potential securing of its own business site, but emphasized that ‘no specific details have been decided at this stage’. GKL added that it would provide a further disclosure ‘when specific matters are confirmed or within one month’.

According to the Korea Economic Daily report, GKL has been reviewing a major strategic shift after operating foreigner-only casinos on leased hotel premises for more than 20 years. The report said the company is examining options to secure its own business site, particularly in Seoul’s urban core, with the aim of developing what it described as a ‘flagship integrated resort’.

The newspaper cited comments from GKL President Yoon Doo-hyun, who said intensifying competition in South Korea’s foreigner-only casino sector has exposed the limitations of the company’s current operating model.

“With the foreigner-only casino market now a red ocean, it is difficult to provide the facilities customers want under a leased business model,” Yoon was quoted as saying.

He added that changing customer expectations have further highlighted these constraints. “Customers who come with their families want pools, shopping, and Korean medical services, which current facilities cannot offer,” the report quoted him as saying.

Yoon also said the company would “actively pursue securing its own business site that can serve as a flagship for urban integrated tourism,” according to the newspaper.

Analysts at Jefferies are estimating a 5.3 percent gross gaming revenue (GGR) uptick for Macau this year, as strong performance from most operators saw GGR reach MOP247.4 billion ($30.86 billion) in 2025 – up 9.1 percent yearly, ahead of its 8.9 percent estimate and slightly below the 9.2 percent market prediction.

In a Tuesday research note, the group noted ‘we view favorably the stock setup in 2026, given the easy GGR comps through May 2026’ and a ‘conservative’ government target of MOP236 billion ($29.44 billion) for FY26.

Current estimates are for GGR this year to reach MOP260.6 billion, with rises in both VIP revenue – to MOP69.34 billion ($ billion) and mass – to MOP191.26 billion ($32.51 billion), up by 2 percent and 6.6 percent, respectively.

The group also predicts that Macau’s visitation is set to break a new yearly record, after surpassing the 40-million-mark in 2025. Hopes are for 41.98 million visitors this year, with visitation from mainland China to top the 30-million mark for the first time (hitting 30.43 million), with slight upticks in Hong Kong visitation – to 7.46 million from 7.32 million in 2025, and other regions – 4.09 million from 3.72 million last year. The estimated 10 percent uptick in international visitation goes in line with operators’ mandates to diversify their source markets and government promotion efforts to draw in non-Chinese visitation.

Despite this, the average spend per visitor is not expected to increase much this year – reaching just MOP6,207 ($774), despite efforts to focus on longer-staying, higher-spending tourists.

Sands, Galaxy and MGM lead the pack

Of the five operators covered in its analysis, Sands China is expected to continue to be the market leader, with revenue reaching $8.35 billion, after the analysts revised up their previous estimate by 2 percent. Galaxy’s revenue could reach HK$53.28 billion ($6.65 billion), a change of about 1 percent from previous estimates. MGM China, although trailing the two mass-market operators could see HK$36.69 billion ($4.58 billion) in revenue, also a slight increase from previous estimates.

The revisions come as Jefferies indicates it expects Sands to have gained 0.5 percentage points in market share in the fourth quarter of last year, to 24.4 percent. Galaxy Entertainment Group, meanwhile, saw a 1.7 percentage point uptick – to 22.1 percent of market share. MGM China saw a 0.7 percentage point increase to 16.5 percent during the quarter.

Both Wynn Macau and SJM likely lost market share during the final quarter of 2025, with Wynn down 1 percentage point to 12.2 percent of the market and SJM down 1.2 percentage points to 10.7 percent.

The analysts hold Buy ratings for Galaxy, Sands, MGM and Wynn, with a Hold rating for SJM.

Galaxy going strong ahead of Phase 4 opening

With Galaxy hoping to complete Phase 4 in 2027, the analysts note that management is predicting to maintain market share of 20-22 percent before its opening. They note that the operator ‘acknowledges market competition but has seen it settle on a more rational ground and expects this trend to continue, with a more targeted approach facilitated by smart tables’.

Galaxy Macau, Galaxy Entertainment Group

Phase 4 -featuring 1,500 hotel rooms, 120 retail units, a water resort, expanded gaming facilities that can host up to 400 tables and a 5,000-seat theater – should help it leverage its ‘new premium offerings and strong performance in both mass and VIP segments’.

The majority of Galaxy’s strength has come from its Cotai property Galaxy Macau, while looking at its StarWorld renovation, ‘management believes it will take more time (originally targeted for 1-2 years)’. The closure of its satellite casino in Waldo last year likely will have ‘little impact’.

Estimates are for a strong rise in VIP GGR this year, reaching HK$11.02 billion ($1.41 billion) – up by 19 percent, and a 9 percent uptick in mass revenue, to HK$39.87 billion ($5.11 billion). Galaxy Macau is estimated to contribute HK$48.48 billion ($6.22 billion) of the group’s 2026 GGR, an 11 percent yearly rise.

Sands China focused on ‘delivering absolute EBITDA dollars’

The Jefferies analysts note that Sands China is focused on EBITDA ‘rather than margin optimization’, with management continuing to target an adjusted EBITDA run rate of $2.7 billion. This would include about $1 billion each from Venetian and Londoner and $300 million each from Parisian and Four Seasons, with Sands Macau (on the peninsula) contributing $100 million.

This is set to be driven by increased visitation and new capacity, after the reopening of Londoner’s 2,405 rooms before the May holiday last year.

Overall GGR is expected to rise by 12 percent yearly, to $7.98 billion in 2026, with an 11 percent VIP revenue uptick to $717 million and a 12 percent rise in mass revenue to $6.46 billion.

The Londoner is expected to drive revenue, to over $3.17 billion, a 19 percent yearly rise, with a small increase of 10 percent expected from Venetian, at $2.79 billion.

The analysts highlighted that Comps could cut into GGR by 20 percent, a slight drop from the 22 percent registered in 2025.

MGM China continues to ‘beef up offerings’

The golden lion will continue to focus on premium mass this year, aiming to ‘sustain mid-teen market share’. This will be supported by the ongoing operations of the ‘ultra-high-end’ Alpha Club, officially opened in September of last year, which offers 27 tables, a dedicated restaurant and cigar lounge. The analysts note ‘there is no other such offering in the peninsula’.

In Cotai, the group has 32 tables at its Mansion One venue set to be complemented by the conversion of 160 rooms into 63 suites – with most featuring two bedrooms. The renovation is expected to be completed in 1H26. In addition, a revamp of level 2 of the building into a premium mass area ‘will help drive premium players’.

GGR is expected to hit nearly HK$41.34 billion ($5.3 billion) this year, up by 7 percent yearly, with a 6 percent uptick in VIP revenue, to HK$4.98 billion ($638.67 million) and a 7 percent rise in mass, to HK$33.86 billion ($4.34 billion).

MGM Cotai continues to be the strongest revenue contributor, with an expectation for a 6 percent rise in revenue to HK$23.05 billion ($2.96 billion), while MGM Macau revenue could rise by 8 percent to HK$16.3 billion ($2.09 billion) this year.

Other shifts

While trailing their competition, Wynn Macau and SJM still have exciting news for this year.

Wynn is planning to complete its Chairman’s Club expansion at Wynn Palace ‘before Chinese New Year’, with the renovation of ‘the initial floors of the Wynn Tower’ (on the peninsula) ‘close to completion’. These will ‘elevate the company’s offerings at both properties’.

In addition, the plan to build Wynn Palace Event and Entertainment on the north land parcel of Wynn Palace is still subject to government approvals, with a tentative opening date of early 2028.

Looking to SJM, the company plans to form the ‘largest integrated resort on the peninsula’, after acquiring a property in Hotel Lisboa from its parent group STDM last year. This would include the extension of Casino Lisboa operations – which houses 80 tables, by 7,504 square meters – with an anticipated opening in ‘early 2026’. The group’s Grand Lisboa and Hotel Lisboa together will comprise 1,500 rooms, making it the largest peninsular IR by key number.

The company will benefit from the relocation of about 440 tables from its closed satellite casinos, which it can spread across both its Macau properties and Grand Lisboa Palace in Cotai.

Good Morning. Competition breeds creativity. And Resorts World Sentosa is digging into the depths of its creative pockets to revamp the property and claw back market share from Marina Bay Sands. RWS’ CEO says that the refreshing of assets, increased entertainment calendar and focus on longer-staying customers encompass a “new” vision for the property. And none too soon, as its casino license renewal evaluation takes place this year. Looking to Macau, January has started off well, with analysts noting that premium mass wagers are nearing Golden Week levels, with hopes that play will robustly continue.

At the same time, the parent company of DFS LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy) – the world’s largest luxury goods conglomerate and the family of DFS co-founder Robert Miller will participate in a capital increase in CTG Duty-Free by subscribing to newly issued H-shares listed in Hong Kong. The company notes that ‘the subscription amount represents a small part of their proceeds’ and will be made upon the completion of the sale of DFS China assets.

Ed Brennan, Chairman and CEO of DFS noted that “The sale of our Hong Kong and Macau stores marks an important step for DFS. DFS’ well-established presence and operational excellence in Hong Kong and Macau is an achievement we take great pride in.”

Luxury retail sales in Macau and Hong Kong have taken a hit in recent years, with sales weighed down by weakened Chinese consumer sentiment and macroeconomic shifts. DFS in early 2025 shuttered one of its operations in one of Macau’s main tourist districts – Senado Square due to low foot traffic. The venue at the time was said to be taken over by CTG.

The sale could shift DFS’ operations to focus more on Chinese brands, with the President of CTG Duty-Free noting “This move will further expand CTG Duty-Free’s service network across the Greater Bay Area, aiming to build a platform for promoting China-chic brands globally and establish an international business mid-platform. CTG Duty-Free remains committed to providing high-quality travel retail experiences to both domestic and international tourists, fulfilling its responsibility as a central state-owned enterprise-controlled listed company to support the high-quality development of the retail economy in Hong Kong and Macau”.

CTG Duty-Free is under the wing of the China Tourism Group and operates nearly 200 duty-free stores across more than 100 cities worldwide.

Travelers (excluding Greater China residents) can obtain the free one-way bus tickets for direct transfer from the SkyPier Terminal at a designated counter in the restricted area. The bus takes visitors to Macau via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau (HKZM) bridge. Advance bookings can be made online via Macau HK Airport Direct. During the offer period visitors can enjoy unlimited free coach tickets from HK airport to Macau, however the MGTO notes that ‘free tickets are available within the limited quota’.

In a release, the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) indicated that the offer ‘is launched to energize international visitors’ intention to visit Macao and boost visitor arrivals from diverse markets, which will in turn foster Hong Kong-Macao twin-destination and multi-destination tourism’.

Aside from the bus tickets, the MGTO and the service operator will also roll out online and offline promotions in partnership with airlines and travel agencies, as well as on social media, ‘in different destinations’.

The promotions are aimed at increasing visitors’ length of stay in Macau and contributing to a ‘more robust tourism economy’ in the world’s largest gaming hub.

The recognition reinforces BetConstruct AI’s position as a truly global technology leader. With multi‑currency, multi‑lingual, and fully localized solutions tailored to the needs of diverse markets, the company continues to deliver technology that scales seamlessly across continents. The award follows a year marked by major achievements, including the expansion of the BetConstruct AI ecosystem—an evolution that has redefined industry benchmarks for operational intelligence and player engagement.

A cornerstone of BetConstruct AI’s growth is its partner‑first philosophy and unwavering commitment to in‑house development. By building the vast majority of its products internally, the company maintains an open, flexible ecosystem that ensures seamless integration and empowers operators with full control. This approach safeguards quality across its extensive portfolio while enabling rapid innovation.

Earning the title of Global Gaming Company of the Year reflects BetConstruct AI’s vision for the future of iGaming—one driven by localization excellence, technological advancement, and continuous reinvention. Through its global infrastructure and locally adapted solutions, the company equips partners to navigate regulatory and administrative complexities with ease, allowing them to focus on core priorities such as acquisition, retention, and sustainable long‑term growth.

As the industry moves toward greater transparency and intelligence, BetConstruct remains at the forefront, blending human expertise with technological precision to ensure that every partner can build their own “universe” within the iGaming landscape.
