World Cup Fever Cools Macau's Casino Floors, Citigroup Says

Yogonet International · 1w ago

Citigroup data shows Macau's daily casino gaming revenue run rate fell roughly 20% in the first half of June compared with May's pace, a slowdown the bank ties largely to the World Cup pulling bettors' attention and wallets toward soccer wagers instead of the tables. The dip comes even as Macau's government still projects full-year gross gaming revenue near $29 billion for 2026. It is a reminder of how much the world's largest casino hub's fortunes can swing with a single global sporting event.
