Macau’s DICJ has released data on the local gambling market’s financial state for August 2025. The month turned out to be very profitable, bringing record casino revenue since the pandemic.
Fundamental Metrics from the Latest Report
Key achievements:
- The region’s GGR reached MOP 22.16 billion ($2.76 billion).
- Experts noted a 12.2% increase compared to the same period last year.
- The recent figure also slightly exceeded the July result of MOP 22.13 billion.
August has set a new post-pandemic benchmark for Macau’s gambling sphere. Industry analysts attribute the growth spurt to the traditional summer tourist season. The hotel occupancy rate during the reporting time reached 90%.
Cumulative YTD deliveries:
- Gross casino revenues amounted to MOP 163.05 billion ($20.3 billion).
- The gain is 7.2% higher than the figure in January-August 2024.
- The result is over 82% of the volume recorded in the same period of 2019.
Initially, the authorities expected an average monthly income of MOP 20 billion, or about MOP 240 billion per year. The assessment was later revised down to MOP19 billion and MOP228 billion, respectively, due to rather weak earnings at the start of 2025.
Nevertheless, the recent data exceeded both initial and updated expectations, enabling the average level to reach MOP20.38 billion. This result indicates that the sector continues to grow dynamically, confirming the confidence of international investment banks in its further development.
Global Context and Potential of the Region
This August was a successful summer for Macau, delivering a steady double-digit rise in gross revenue. Industry analysts predict that this trend will continue until at least Q1 2026, and in H2 2025, local casino GGR could grow by 15% YoY. This forecast is based on strong demand from the mass gaming segment and the resumption of dividend payments by concessionaires.
The latest result further strengthened Macau’s leading position in the global market. For comparison, Nevada recorded $1.36 billion in revenue in July 2025, which is only 4% higher than the figure a year earlier. The state’s Clark County, including Las Vegas, accounted for about $1.2 billion. Despite fluctuations in early 2025, August confirmed that the region’s economy is on a trajectory of sustainable recovery from the pandemic.
