Macau’s casino revenue in August dipped for a second consecutive month as Macau faced headwinds from protests in Hong Kong and regulatory uncertainty over high-roller junkets.
Gross gaming revenue for Macau casino operators was 24.26 billion patacas in August, down 8.6 percent from a year earlier, according to data from the Gaming Inspection & Coordination Bureau (DICJ). That missed the median analyst forecast of a 4 percent fall, following a 3.5 percent drop in July.
Month-on-month, gross gaming revenue was down 0.8 percent.
