Macau October GGR falls 10% to $2.68 billion for fifth straight monthly decline

Macau's gross gaming revenue (GGR) fell 10% year-on-year to MOP$21.68 billion ($2.68 billion) in October , marking the fifth consecutive month of decline, according to data from the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau ( DICJ ). The October decline was the second-largest recorded so far this year , following a 12.1% year-on-year drop in June. However, revenue increased 20% from September's MOP$18.1 billion, supported by China's National Day Golden Week holiday and events including the NBA China Games at The Venetian Macao early in the month.
