Macau’s 20 casinos generated MOP20.30 billion (US$2.52 billion) in July 2026, representing an 8.4% year-on-year decline from MOP22.13 billion recorded during the same month of 2025.
The Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau —DICJ— released the result on August 1. Although July marked the second consecutive annual decline, revenue increased approximately 9.6% from MOP18.52 billion in June, when casino spending was affected by the FIFA World Cup held between June 11 and July 19.
The market generated an average of nearly MOP655 million per day. The result was MOP1.83 billion below July 2025 and approximately 17% lower than July 2019, before the pandemic.
Between January and July, accumulated GGR reached approximately MOP147.20 billion (US$18.22 billion), around 4.5% higher than the MOP140.90 billion recorded one year earlier. January contributed MOP22.63 billion; February, MOP20.63 billion; March, MOP22.61 billion; April, MOP19.89 billion; May, MOP22.61 billion; June, MOP18.52 billion; and July, MOP20.30 billion.
