Macau’s gross gaming revenue (GGR) recorded solid growth in August, supported by strong visitor arrivals during the summer. GGR reached MOP22.16 billion ($2.77 billion), marking a 12.2 percent increase compared to the same month last year.
It was the best-performing month of the year, not only surpassing July’s record but also reaching a new post-COVID high.
August also marked the fourth time this year that monthly GGR exceeded MOP20 billion ($2.5 billion).
According to data from the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ), August’s total was slightly higher than July’s, up 0.14 percent.
The stronger performance was largely driven by resilient player demand, despite disruptions caused by typhoon-related weather during the month.
For the first eight months of 2025, Macau’s casino GGR reached MOP163.05 billion ($19.11 billion), up 7.2 percent year-on-year. However, the figure remains 17.7 percent below pre-pandemic levels, compared to MOP198.22 billion ($24.75 billion) recorded in the same period of 2019.
