Despite longer-term concerns about Chinese VIP gambling tourists visiting the city in declining numbers and the more recent theft by employees at Dore Holdings, analysts believe that October should prove to show a smaller Gross Gaming Revene (GGR) decline than September in Macau. Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. analysts Carlo Santarelli and Danny Valoy estimate that Macau casinos in October 2015 will still record a GGR decrease when compared to October 2014, however, depending on market conditions should be approximately 27 percent.
There are also signs of a smaller decline in October based on GGR picking up its pace at the end of September.
