Gambling revenue from January to September 2022 was MOP$31.9 billion (US$3.99 billion), down 53.1% compared to last year.

Despite the fact that the 18 June epidemic in Macau is now well and truly over, immigration procedures between Macau and the mainland remained relatively restrictive in September.

In addition to repeated outbreaks in mainland China, Macau has not opened quarantine-free entry for foreign visitors, so the daily number of visitors to Macau remained at around 20,000 in September, well short of the 2019 average of 108,000 per day.
