Macau's August gambling revenue rose 40% from a year earlier,
slowing from July's 70% because of a higher base effect.
August revenue totaled MOP15.8 (US$2.0 billion), nearly flat
from July's MOP16.3 billion, but up significantly from MOP11.3
billion a year earlier, according to data from Macau's Gaming
Inspection and Coordination Bureau.
CLSA analysts Huei Suen Ng and Aaron Fischer have said they
expect gambling revenue in the Chinese territory to rise 34% in the
second half from a year earlier, slowing from the first half's 67%
rise as casinos face more difficult comparisons in the later months
of the year.
August's revenue figure is the third highest so far this year
after the record MOP17.1 billion hit in May and July's total.
"We think September could be softer given that visitors tend to
delay their travel plans ahead of the Golden Week holidays in
October," Deutsche Bank analyst Karen Tang wrote in a report
Thursday.
