Macau has continued its recent revenue momentum, with the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ) reporting Monday that gross gaming revenues for the month of August reached MOP$22.16 billion (US$2.76 billion).

This means August set yet another post-pandemic GGR record, slightly exceeding the MOP$22.13 billion (US$2.73 billion) in gaming revenues generated in July and 12.2% higher than the same month in 2024.

For the first eight months of 2025 combined, GGR is up 7.2% year-on-year to MOP$163.1 billion (US$20.3 billion).

The sudden surge of Macau’s gaming sector, which began in May after a slower-than expected start to the year, has seen industry analysts across the board revise upwards their 2025 GGR forecasts on predictions that double-digit growth will continue for the remainder of the year.
