Minimum Deposit Casinos Reports: Macau’s May Gaming Surge Signals Global Casino Revival

Minimum Deposit Casinos 2 mins read

WATERFORD, Ireland, June 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Minimum Deposit Casinos (MDC), a global iGaming review hub and division of the OneTwenty Group, has released a new report analyzing Macau's record-breaking gaming revenue in May 2025.

According to the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau, Macau's gross gaming revenue (GGR) reached MOP 21.19 billion (US$2.62 billion) in May, marking the highest monthly total since January 2020. This figure represents a 12.4% increase from April and a 5% rise compared to May 2024.

The surge was largely driven by the Labor Day Golden Week holiday from May 1-5, which attracted over 850,000 visitors to Macau. The mass market segment contributed 75% of the total revenue, highlighting a shift towards broader, non-VIP gaming activities.

“This rebound underscores the resilience of the global gaming industry,” said a senior analyst at MDC. “For players seeking low-deposit options, the thriving mass market in Macau presents new opportunities for accessible gaming experiences.”

MDC's report also notes that May's revenue reached 81.7% of the levels seen in May 2019, indicating a strong recovery trajectory. Analysts are optimistic about continued growth, with some revising their forecasts upward for the remainder of 2025.

Govt’s gambling reforms fail to protect next generation – Skyrocketing sports betting is the new intergenerational challenge

The Government’s gambling reforms, presented to the parliament today, will fail to protect kids from an unprecedented assault by the gambling industry that aims to groom a whole new generation to gamble. The CEO of the Alliance for Gambling Reform, Martin Thomas, said new technology is allowing the gambling sector to target underage kids in a way no other generation has been targeted. “The evidence shows that underage kids as young as 14 are being targeted through social media to download gambling apps, and betting ads are appearing in children’s games and increasingly popular online games are including gambling-type functions.…
