Gambling revenue in the Chinese territory of Macau dropped 8.6% in August on the year, hit by tapering demand from high rollers, due to slowing economic growth amid China’s trade war with the United States and protests in neighbouring Hong Kong. August’s figure was 24.3 billion patacas ($3.01 billion), Macau’s Gaming Inspection and Coordination said in data posted on Sunday, below analysts’ expectations of a drop of 2%-6%. While protests in the Asian financial hub of Hong Kong have disrupted transport and deterred travel to the former British colony and then on to Macau, analysts say the impact on gaming revenues has been minimal.
