According to industry data, Macau's GGR for the first 21 days of April may reach about MOP12.5 billion, implying that the average daily run-rate for the past week was MOP600 million, which is about 2% higher WoW, Citi Research noted in a report.

The figures revealed that VIP betting volumes fell by about 5-6% MoM, while mass-market volumes dropped by 4-5%. VIP hold rates appear to be lower than normal. The broker therefore lowered its forecast for April GGR from MOP18.5 billion to MOP18 billion, implying that the daily run-rate for the rest of the month will be more or less flat.
