Macau’s gross gaming revenue in March amounted to MOP19.66 billion ($2.46 billion), representing an annual increase of 0.8 percent.
March was largely expected to see slower business due to the period lacking any public holidays. It’s also typically considered a low season as it follows the Chinese New Year period.
According to data released by the local regulator, the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ), the March figure represents a 0.4 percent decrease from February’s GGR, despite February having three fewer days.
For the first quarter of 2025, Macau’s casino GGR reached MOP57.66 billion ($7.20 billion), up 0.6 percent from last year. However, this figure remains 24.7 percent lower than the first quarter of 2019, which was MOP76.15 billion ($9.46 billion).
Analysts from Citigroup had predicted that yearly GGR growth for 2025 would rest anywhere between 4 percent and 9 percent.
