The Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau's (DICJ) new monthly report on Macau’s gambling has revealed great results. According to the document, the industry’s gross revenue rose to MOP 21.19 billion (approximately $2.62 billion) in May, the highest since January 2020.
Key Notions from the Recent Analytics
The market has experienced notable GGR growth. Figures were as follows:
- 5% YoY increase from MOP 20.19 billion;
- 12.4% MoM improvement from MOP 18.86 billion;
- 1.9% rise from October 2024's MOP 20.79 billion (previous post-pandemic record).
In May 2025, the total turnover reached 81.7% of the earnings for the same month in 2019, before Covid-19 restrictions came into force.
According to the sphere’s analysts, the new financial peak is linked to the massive celebration of this year’s Labour Day Golden Week in early May. During the holidays, the daily revenue of local gaming establishments exceeded MOP 1 billion.
Potential of Macau’s Gambling Market
The past 5 months of 2025 saw GGR of MOP 97.7 billion (about $12.1 billion), up 1.7% YoY. Average monthly revenue was MOP 19.54 billion, a bit below the MOP 20 billion mark considered necessary to reach this year’s MOP 240 billion target.
Industry experts see the May results as a potential turning point for a new growth spurt in H2 2025. Late spring and summer, as well as mid-autumn, are typically the most profitable periods for the region. This peculiarity is caused by 2 key factors: seasonal peaks in tourism and the large number of public holidays held during this time in mainland China.
