Macau’s casino gross gaming revenue (GGR) during the recent five-day break encompassing the Labour Day holiday on May 1, was approximately MOP600 million (US$75 million) a day, suggested brokerage Sanford C. Bernstein, and JP Morgan Securities (Asia Pacific) Ltd in respective Monday notes. The period, referred to by some analysts as ‘May Golden Week’, although that term is not used by the Macau authorities, was “surprisingly golden” in GGR terms, said JP Morgan. The city’s estimated GGR for the early-May break has been “well above” market expectation, the institution’s analysts DS Kim, Derek Choi, and Livy Lyu remarked in their Monday memo.
