Macau June GGR jumps 19% to $2.6bn

The Macau Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ) has unveiled gross gaming revenue (GGR) of $2.6bn for the month of June 2025, up 19% year-over-year and marking the most significant increase within the last 12 months.  

Following this latest report, it would seem Macau has now fully recovered from its winter-time stumble, which saw the jurisdiction report consecutive losses for the first time since the pandemic through December and January.  

Revenue on the rise 

In the wake of this blip, Macau then reported what is now its second-highest year-over-year revenue rise of 6.8% in February. Moreover, June’s 19% improvement on revenue statistics from the year prior is the most notable year-over-year upswing reported by the jurisdiction since May 2024.  

Despite representing the highest revenue rise percentile of the calendar year so far, Macau’s June GGR fell just behind the $2.63bn reported in May – which is one of the region’s strongest months thanks to contributions from the Macau Golden Week vacation-period, alongside this year’s opening of the Capella Hotel.  

Now, in the wake of this latest report, Macau’s cumulative GGR for H1 2025 is up to $14.69bn, 4.3% higher than figures recorded by this time last year.  

Macau vs Nevada  

Thanks to the strong visitor footfall statistics recorded during June, Macau continues to pull away from Nevada’s latest revenue figures, with the state’s overall GGR for the month of May reaching $1.29bn – almost half the latest revenue sum reported out of the administrative region of China.  

Good to know: In June, Macau announced that it would be lowering its FY 2025 financial expectations to $28.2bn  

Moreover, despite a 91.9% year-over-year decrease in baseball revenues, Nevada’s latest financial report from the month of May highlighted a 2.2% drop in revenues compared to results from the year prior, largely contributed to by a 4.6% decline in slots.  

It was a busy month for Macanese gaming during June, with profit pressures forcing the region’s satellite casinos out of the market – the jurisdiction also undertook a recent study which raised concerns around the mental health of casino workers.
