According to industry sources, Citigroup's report states that the gambling revenue in Macau for the first fifteen days of September is expected to reach approximately 8.5 billion Macau Pataca, which means a daily gambling revenue of about 0.536 billion Macau Pataca, a decrease of about 10% compared to the daily gambling revenue of about 0.594 billion Macau Pataca for the first eight days of September. The recent hold rate may be lower than the performance in the first eight days of this month.

According to industry sources, the performance of VIP rooms has decreased by 8% to 10% compared to last month, and the mass market has decreased by 10% to 12%. Although the weekly performance seems significantly weak, the bank suspects that this reflects some players choosing to postpone their trip to Macau until the Mid-Autumn Festival (from September 15th to 17th). Despite this, the bank conservatively revised its forecast for Macau's gambling revenue in September this year from 18.25 billion Macau Pataca to 17.75 billion Macau Pataca (a 19% increase YoY; about 80% of the level in September 2019) to reflect the trend since this month, which means a daily gambling revenue of 0.617 billion Macau Pataca for the remaining time of this month.
