Macau's casino gross revenue is nearing pre-pandemic levels
This financial growth is attributed to the lifting of restrictions both within the casinos and across Macau. The gradual recovery of tourism is positively impacting the region's economic landscape.
Local regulators report that the gross revenue in January 2024 increased by 67% compared to the same period last year, marking the best performance in the past 12 months. There was also an uptick compared to December's figures, which stood at $2.3 billion—4% lower than January's results. In October 2023, the numbers were similar to the current ones, but that month included the holiday week for National Day.
For the entirety of 2023, Macau's gaming industry generated a total gross revenue of $22.68 billion, a staggering 333% increase from 2022.
Overall, 2023 has been a year of revival for Macau. The city endured three challenging years, effectively closed to tourists. However, with the easing of entry restrictions and the reopening of public spaces, the gaming business has begun to recover rapidly.
Financial firm Morgan Stanley has issued optimistic forecasts regarding the future growth of Macau's gambling sector. Analysts estimate that the results for 2024 will not only reach pre-pandemic levels but will exceed them by 120%. Moving forward, gross gaming revenue in the region is expected to continue growing at a similar pace.
Meanwhile, two residents from the UK and Spain have each won £61.7 million in the EuroMillions lottery.
