Macau’s gross gaming revenue (GGR) in May totaled MOP22.61 billion ($2.8 billion), an increase of 6.7 percent year-on-year and the best May figure since the pandemic, according to data released by the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ).
The May figure represents a 13.7 percent increase from April’s GGR of MOP19.89 billion ($2.47 billion). It is also in line with analysts’ projections, as year-on-year comparisons become increasingly difficult through the remainder of 2026.
According to the Public Security Police Force, Macau recorded about 873,000 visitor arrivals during the Labor Day holiday from May 1st to 5th, up 3 percent year-on-year, with average daily arrivals of around 175,000 — about 10 percent above 2019 levels. The city also logged 403,000 visitor arrivals over the three-day Buddha’s Birthday holiday from May 23rd to 25th.
For the first five months of 2026, Macau’s casino GGR reached MOP108.38 billion ($13.44 billion), up 10.9 percent year-on-year. However, the figure remains 13.8 percent below the same period in 2019, when GGR totaled MOP125.69 billion ($15.6 billion).
