Macau’s casinos recorded gross gaming revenue of MOP$11.58 billion (US$1.43 billion) in January, the highest monthly GGR figure since January 2020.
According to information from the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ), the January total was 82.5% higher than January 2021 and 233% higher than December, when GGR reached just MOP$3.48 billion (US$431 million). Gaming revenues had plummeted to as low as MOP$398 million (US$49 million) in July, at the height of Macau’s first major COVID-19 outbreak.
The last time Macau recorded higher GGR was January 2020, shortly before COVID restrictions were fully implemented, when revenues reached MOP$22.13 billion (US$2.74 billion).
