Galaxy Entertainment : Macau gambling revenues rise 58% in March year on year

HONG KONG(Reuters) - Gambling revenue in Macau rose 58% in March year-on-year, with the world's biggest casino hub seeing a pick up in visitors from its key market - mainland China - due to a relaxation of coronavirus measures that had impacted travel.

March's figure was 8.3 billion patacas ($1.0 billion) according to data released by Macau's government on Thursday. Gaming revenues slumped in 2020 due to coronavirus travel restrictions.
