Macau October GGR sets new post-pandemic record

Gross gaming revenue amounted to MOP24.09bn (US$3bn) in October.

Macau.- The Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ) has reported that Macau’s gross gaming revenue (GGR) was MOP24.09bn (US$3bn) in October. That’s an increase of 15.9 per cent in year-on-year terms and up 31.7 per cent compared to September’s GGR of MOP18.3bn (US$2.27bn). 

October’s figures beat the previous post-pandemic record of MOP22.16bn (US$2.76bn) set in August, which had topped the total from January 2020 (MOP22.13bn) just before the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Cumulatively, Macau’s GGR for the first ten months of 2025 was MOP205.43bn (US$25.64bn), an 8 per cent increase year-on-year. However, the figure remains 16.7 per cent below the January-October period in 2019, when GGR totalled MOP246.74bn (US$30.8bn).

Figures from October reflect the Golden Week holiday period. The Public Security Police Force (CPSP) reported that Macau received 1.14 million visitor arrivals during the holiday period, which ran from October 1 to 8, slightly below the forecast of 1.2 million but above 2024’s tally of 993,117 arrivals, although the holiday was shorter in 2024.

In July, the Legislative Assembly passed the 2025 fiscal budget amendment bill, which forecasts annual gaming tax revenue of MOP79.8bn (US$9.87bn), 5 per cent lower than previously expected. The government cut its GGR estimate from MOP240bn ($29.69bn) to MOP228bn ($28.2bn). At the time of the revised forecast, Ho In Mui, deputy director of the Financial Services Bureau, cited global economic conditions and changes in tourist consumption patterns as factors.
