During the first two days of the Labor Day Golden Week, Macau welcomed more than 200,000 visitors, comparable to the peak days of the Chinese New Year earlier this year, Citi said in a research report.

According to Citi's premium mass gaming survey, the broker noticed that the total betting volume during the Labor Day holiday reached HKD23 million, the second highest in 2026, only 6% lower than the Chinese New Year level.

The report also revealed that GALAXY ENT (00027.HK)  0.000 (0.000%)    Short selling $68.91M; Ratio 11.965%   ranked first in Citi's VIP mass survey, accounting for 29% of the total betting volume observed, while SANDS CHINA LTD (01928.HK)  0.000 (0.000%)    Short selling $21.27M; Ratio 8.896%   ranked second with a 26% market share.
