Cumulatively, that gives the special administrative region a GGR of US$2.95bn since the beginning of 2021, which still leaves the year down 22.4% on the US$3.80bn brought in by the end of March 2020.
The majority of the revenue generated between January and March 2020, US$2.76bn, was made in January, prior to the closures of gaming venues from February as a result of the novel coronavirus pandemic, which saw Macau’s gaming industry hit a standstill for the majority of the year.
Major operators in the region saw revenues plummet last year, with Sands China revealing a US$1.52bn loss for the year after its revenue dropped by 80.8%.
Melco Resorts and Entertainment, meanwhile, made a US$1.26bn loss as its full year revenue was reduced by 69.9%.
GGR for the region declined by 79.3% in 2020, amounting to MOP60.44bn compared to US$7.54bn in 2019.
