Macau’s gaming sector delivered another milestone in August, with government tax revenue from casinos reaching nearly MOP$8.5 billion (US$1.06 billion). The figure represents the highest monthly tally since the COVID-19 crisis and follows strong casino activity in July, when gross gaming revenue (GGR) climbed to MOP$22.1 billion (US$2.73 billion). The city’s Financial Services Bureau, cited by Inside Asian Gaming, reported that the August tax intake surpassed July’s collection by about 2.5%. This upward movement underscores the momentum Macau’s gaming industry has sustained throughout 2025, fueled by a steady rebound in visitor numbers and ongoing promotional campaigns.
