Macau Gambling Revenue Surges to Record

HONG KONG—Macau's gambling revenue rose to a record 12.7 billion patacas (US$1.59 billion) last month, analysts said in research reports published Wednesday, as a long National Day holiday and China's solid economic recovery boosted gaming demand.
Gambling revenue increased 42% in October from a year earlier, and was 18% higher than September's 10.8 billion patacas, the research reports said.
