Macao casinos had their best month since May in September and operators are optimistic that this year’s Golden Week national holiday, which began Saturday, will bring thousands of visitors to the Chinese gambling enclave.
Macao’s Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau reported the region’s casinos generated $366.5 million (U.S.) for the month, a 49.6 percent decline from September 2021’s $727.4 million.
In August, casinos reported $270.8 million for the month.
The Macao Government Tourism Office reported over the weekend it expects the number of visitors during the upcoming Golden Week holiday to average around 20,000 people per day but could reach up to 25,000 visitors.
