Macau.- CreditSights has reported that gross gaming revenue (GGR) per visitor in Macau fell to MOP4,943 (US$618) in February, down 20 per cent month-on-month and 21 per cent year-on-year. That was totally expected because the Chinese New Year holiday attracted a larger share of family travellers and non-gaming tourists, diluting per-capita casino spending.
The Statistics and Census Service (DSEC) has reported that the number of visitor arrivals to Macau increased by 32.6 per cent year-on-year to 4,172,940 in February 2026, driven by the Lunar New Year holidays.
The Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ) reported that Macau’s gross gaming revenue (GGR) was MOP20.63bn (US$2.57bn) in February. That’s an increase of 4.5 per cent in year-on-year terms, but 8.9 per cent down from January (MOP22.63bn). Cumulatively, Macau’s GGR for the two months of 2026 was MOP43.26bn (US$5.38bn), up 13.9 per cent year-on-year but still 14 per cent below pre-pandemic levels (US$6.26bn).
