Against 2019
The DICJ's 2019 table puts October 2019 GGR at MOP26,443 million and January–October 2019 at MOP246,740 million. On those figures, October 2026 revenue was about 82% of the pre-pandemic October level, and the 2026 year-to-date total about 85% of the same period of 2019 (our calculation).
October's figures follow the six concessionaires' pledge of MOP9 billion to a government guidance fund, counted toward their non-gaming investment commitments, and Las Vegas Sands' third-quarter results for Sands China.
The DICJ publishes GGR in millions of patacas; it lists the conversion rate as HK$1 = MOP1.03.
