Earlier this month Macau posted its November gambling revenues, showing a 32.9% increase in revenue to 23 billion patacas ($2.9 billion) compared to the same month last year. Credit Suisse gaming analyst Gabriel Chan says "next month could be similar to this month in terms of growth, but going into January will be a low season as in the first couple of days of the Lunar New Year we don't have any VIPs coming to Macau."
According to figures released by the Chinese Special Administrative Region's Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau, total gaming revenues through November are up 44 percent compared to the first 11 months of 2010.
