Macau’s gaming industry has started 2026 with unexpected momentum, as March Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) reached $2.8 billion, a 15% year-on-year increase. Despite analysts predicting a slowdown due to geopolitical tensions, resilient demand from “base mass” customers and a high “win rate” at the tables fueled the growth. Industry experts at Asia Gaming Brief suggest that April could see a further 12% uptick, driven by an influx of visitors during the spring holiday season and a series of high-profile entertainment events.
