Analysts forecast Macau’s gross gaming revenue to exceed 2025 targets, hitting MOP245B, driven by rising tourism, casino upgrades, and strong visitor spending. Macau's casino gross gaming revenue (GGR) is forecast to surpass the local government's 2025 target, according to a new analysis by CreditSights Inc., a division of the Fitch Group. The firm projects GGR will reach MOP245 billion (US$30.5 billion), exceeding the government's MOP240 billion forecast. The projection, detailed in a research paper released Thursday, is based on anticipated increases in tourist arrivals and a slight rise in GGR per visitor in 2025. CreditSights also expects improved hotel occupancy rates this year, attributed to ongoing casino renovations, room conversions, and the introduction of new entertainment offerings. Analysts Nicholas Chen, David Bussey, and Zerlina Zeng stated, "We expect Macau’s GGR to slightly exceed the 2025 target of MOP240 billion and reach MOP245 billion." This projection revises the Macau government’s initial 2025 budget forecast for casino GGR. Following a 23.9% year-on-year increase in 2024, which saw revenues reach MOP226.78 billion, CreditSights forecasts a moderate 8% year-on-year GGR growth in 2025. This growth trajectory is projected to bring Macau’s gaming revenue to approximately 84% of its 2019 pre-pandemic levels. The analysts’ projection assumes that visitations in 2025 will improve to around 94 percent of 2019 levels and GGR per visitor will experience a modest 2-percent year-on-year increase, rising from MOP6,493 in 2024 to MOP6,606 in 2025. The report acknowledges potential challenges to Macau’s casino industry, including China’s slowing economic growth and domestic consumption. However, it also identifies factors expected to support the sector in 2025. These include the continuing easing of travel restrictions, with more cities added to the Individual Visit Scheme (IVS), further progress on casino renovations and expansions, and the potential positive effects of recent macro support policies from Chinese authorities on consumer sentiment. Official data indicates that Macau received nearly 34.93 million visitors in 2024, a 23.8% increase compared to the previous year. Macau’s tourism officials have suggested potential visitor numbers of 38 to 39 million this year, approaching pre-pandemic levels. The easing of mainland exit-visa policies, particularly for visitors from neighboring Zhuhai, is expected to contribute to this increase. The CreditSights report presents a projection of continued recovery for Macau’s gaming industry, indicating a potential exceeding of current revenue targets.

A Thailand official suggests a public hearing may be unnecessary for the proposed casino plans, raising questions about the need for a Casino Law Referendum . Thailand's government rejected the call for a referendum on its proposal to approve the building of casinos in integrated resorts.  Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai said any delay on the measure may incur costs.  “The policy has been made public and approved in parliament by representatives of the people. So, what’s the point of seeking public approval on it again?" Phumtham said.  These remarks came after a Thai lawmaker called for a referendum on legalizing casinos in entertainment complexes due to what he describes as divided public opinion and potential negative impacts.  The government considers integrated resorts to be an important driver of economic growth, he said. Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has been promoting the potential of these resorts at campaign events nationwide.  Addressing concerns about regulated gaming, Shinawatra emphasized that the gaming element of each resort would constitute 10% or less of the overall development.  Thailand's government has tasked the Council of State with reviewing the Entertainment Complex Business Act within 50 days, bypassing a referendum due to existing parliamentary approval.Thailand is moving to implement the measure before the end of the year.  Six multinational corporations have expressed interest in developing casino resorts in Thailand, according to Prime Minister's Secretary-General Prommin Lertsuridej. He described these companies as having significant global experience in managing world-class entertainment venues, though he did not disclose their names.
