 nov25

O Governo estima que em 2026 as receitas brutas do jogo sejam de 236 mil milhões de patacas. A cifra está plasmada no orçamento para o próximo ano, remetido pelo Executivo à Assembleia Legislativa (AL) e já disponível no site do órgão.

Em comparação com o valor inscrito no orçamento para este ano (228 mil milhões de patacas), a meta para o próximo ano implica um aumento de 3,5% nas receitas brutas de jogo – principal fonte das receitas da RAEM. Recorde-se que, entre Janeiro e Outubro deste ano, a indústria dos casinos já gerou 205 mil milhões de patacas. Neste período, o imposto sobre as receitas dos casinos representou 83,3% das receitas públicas.

GGR projections omitted from Policy Address as CE urges caution

Gross gaming revenue (GGR) projections were omitted for the first time in a Policy Address, with Chief Executive Sam Hou Fai stating that “careful consideration is required.

In response to media inquiries, Chief Executive Sam acknowledged that the gross gaming revenue (GGR) in April, amounting to MOP18.86 billion, fell short of expectations of MOP22.8 billion, emphasizing the industry’s high dependence on environmental and situational shifts.

“Changes in the overall domestic and international environment profoundly impact our gaming sector, particularly as stable relations among global economies remain crucial,” he stated.

Looking ahead, he remarked, “We must maintain a cautious approach, as future changes remain uncertain.”

While current visitor numbers have increased, with data from the first three quarters showing a 14.5% rise in international tourists, he cited the recent strong performance of the stock market but emphasized the uncertainty over whether this will continue to influence the economic environment and visitor numbers.

“Ultimately, we will continue to exercise caution in addressing the challenges posed by uncertainty,” he concluded.

Additionally, the recently released Policy Address reveals that as of the end of September, Macau’s fiscal reserves totaled MOP658 billion, including MOP167.3 billion in basic reserves and MOP490.7 billion in surplus reserves. YL

2022-2024 reforms corrected Macau’s casino industry imbalance

Image
 ab25 The new regulatory framework overhaul that was implemented through reforms in 2022 and 2024 led to “major corrections” in the  Macau  casino industry rather than routine updates, aimed at fixing what had become a dangerously unbalanced system after two decades of breakneck expansion, gaming law expert Jorge Godinho argues in a recent study. “There were too many gaming promoters and VIP rooms, too much credit for gaming, and too much money moving out of China,” Godinho writes in his  study ,  The Macau SAR Regulation of Casino Gaming: Structural Features After the Reforms of 2022–2024 . Jorge Godinho, Gaming Law Expert “Numerous casinos were built, but not that many non-gaming services were developed.” The reforms come after years of unsustainable growth, followed by sharp decline during the COVID-19 pandemic. The gaming industry peaked in 2013/14 but entered what Godinho describes as “a bumpy ride that became a freefall.” Macau’s reliance on high-rolling V...

The rise and fall of Macau’s pawnshops

 out25 Macau’s pawnshop industry, once a thriving pillar of the city’s casino economy, has seen its fortunes plummet from over 200 establishments at its 2014 peak to just 56 today. A fourth-generation pawnbroker charts the sector’s dramatic rise and fall — and warns of further decline ahead. By Jing Wu (text) and Gonçalo Lobo Pinheiro (photos), Lusa Alexander Wai Kai Leong, 39, the fourth-generation owner of Veng Seng Pawnshop, is a man whose story is told in gold and jade — and his first impression is striking, thanks to the jewellery he wears. A gleaming gold watch and a gold ring set with a vivid green jade stone immediately draw the eye to his left hand. His right hand is equally adorned: a golden dragon ring coils around his index finger, and a large ruby sparkles on his ring finger. A string of wooden prayer beads wraps his right wrist, completing the ensemble. Leong’s family legacy began in 1940, when they owned eight pawnshops in Hong Kong. At the time, during the Second Si...
