Macau Breaks Gaming Revenue Record in May, Driven by Strong Chinese Tourist Demand

Macau’s gaming industry soared past its pre-pandemic high in May 2025, with gross gaming revenue (GGR) exceeding MOP21.19 billion ($2.62 billion). This remarkable figure represents a 5% year-on-year increase and surpasses the previous record set in October 2024, propelled primarily by a surge in visitor arrivals during China’s Labor Day Golden Week holiday period. The influx of Chinese tourists, accounting for approximately 80% of visitors, fueled robust gaming activity.
