Macau Jockey Club Casino has applied to stay shut whilst the gaming licenses of Macau Palace and Greek Mythology casinos have long been suspended. The re-opening began on February 20 with 5,400 gaming tables now officially in operation out of a total of 6,739 tables.
Casino Taipa was shut down on Thursday, whilst the government has kept the Regency Art Hotel as one of its mandatory quarantine stations.
The Macau government believes Macau’s 2020 gross gaming revenue (GGR) will fall by over 55% year-on-year to around MOP$130bn due to the impact of COVID-19.
Local figures show that Macau visitor arrivals tumbled almost 96% in February due to travel restrictions imposed because of the coronavirus, however, the average length of stay improved.
Information from the Statistics and Census Service (DSEC) indicated that the number of visitors in the month was 156,394. Same-day visitors were 81,090 and overnight visitors 75,304, down by 96.0% and 95.0% respectively.
Visitors from most destinations recorded drops of more than 90%, with China mainland visitors down 97.2%.
