Monthly GGR fell year over year for the first time in two years, indicating a shift in the course of the region\u2019s recovery. However, the numbers were different and better in <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/casino-news\/macau-sees-strong-revenue-growth-in-november-2024\/\">November.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>December Figures and Annual Performance<\/h2>\n<p>In December 2024, Macau\u2019s GGR stood at MOP 18.2 billion ($2.33 billion), marking a 2% drop compared to December 2023, which saw MOP 18.6 billion. Despite this decline, the overall GGR for 2024 reached MOP 226.8 billion, reflecting a robust 24% increase from the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>Macau\u2019s strongest growth occurred in the first quarter of 2024. January, February, and March each recorded over 50% year-on-year increases in gross monthly revenue. However, growth tapered off during the remainder of the year, with an average 16% annual increase in GGR from April through December.<\/p>\n<p>As the casino industry in Macau gets closer to pre-COVID norms, the slowing revenue growth is to be expected. Macau has yet to return to the monthly GGR of MOP 23 billion, which it continuously maintained in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>When GGR hit MOP 20.2 billion in May 2024, the area came the closest to reaching this milestone. Although this indicates improvement, the disparity highlights the difficulties Macau still has in reaching its pre-pandemic level of performance.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Katsubet\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Katsubet.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Katsubet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Katsubet<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>5BTC or 111% + 111 Free Spins!<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
