MACAU: Macau’s gaming revenue declined for a fifth straight month in October, as weak spending by high-end players offset a surge in Golden Week visitors.

Gross gaming revenue fell 10 per cent to 21.68 billion patacas (US$2.68 billion) from a year earlier, according to data released by the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau on Sunday (Nov 1). That was in line with the median analyst estimate of a 10 per cent decrease, and about 18 per cent lower than the pre-pandemic level in 2019. - Bloomberg

澳门：由于高端玩家消费疲软，抵消了黄金周游客数量的激增，澳门博彩收入在10月份连续第五个月下降。

根据博彩监察协调局周日（11月1日）公布的数据，博彩总收入同比下降10%，至216.8亿菲律宾比索（约合26.8亿美元）。这一数据与分析师此前预测的10%降幅基本一致，但比2019年疫情前的水平低约18%。——彭博社
