Macau gaming revenue’s growth slows down

Macau’s casino gross gaming revenue reached MOP15.3 billion (US$1.9 billion) last month. It represents a yearly increase of 39.8 percent, according to data released today by the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ). This is the slowest monthly year-on-year growth rate registered so far in 2010. The total casino gross gaming revenue for the nine months through to September rose 60.1 percent year-on-year to MOP133.24 billion. That is more than what the local casinos raked in on the overall 2009 (MOP119.4 billion).
