Macau earned $3.92bn in gambling revenue in April due to strong spending by Chinese visitors.
Gambling revenue growth in Macau was up 10.6 per cent in April, beating analyst estimates of six to eight per cent growth. Gambling appetites are seasonally more subdued in April ahead of a national holiday week in May, when record numbers of visitors are expected to travel to Macau.
While 2013 saw rapid gambling revenue growth, analysts have tempered expectations for the coming year due to macro economic uncertainties in China and the potential for slower credit growth that could impact liquidity of the VIP segment.
The VIP segment, made up of high rollers from the mainland, has for the past several years driven the bulk of Macau's casino business, making up 70 to 80 per cent of overall gaming revenues
