Numbers released by the Macau regulator Sunday show that the gambling island extended its 14-month winning streak in September, delivering gambling revenues of 21.4 billion patacas ($2.66 billion) – a 16.1 percent year-on-year improvement.
The outlook for October, which includes a national holiday week in China, looks equally positive; during national holidays, Macau is typically inundated with visitors.
