Our checks indicate that during the first 5 days in May, Macau GGR reached ~1 billion MOP, up by HDD (high-double-digits) year-over-year. This was driven by the extra one day for the labor-day holiday this year, strong mass visitations from mainland and very high VIP rolling.  We estimate that the average rolling amount in VIP rooms reached ~5.5 billion -6.0 billion MOP per day per table, up ~15% YoY (same period in 2018).  The extra day provided in the holiday is to stimulate consumer spending by the government, a similar measure as the income tax cut effective on Oct 1st, 2018.In April, Macau GGR was down 8.3% YoY, dragged down by ~25% decline in VIP GGR.  The VIP luck factor was ~3% last minute, similar to same period in 2018.  Rolling demand was negatively impacted by Beijing’s tightened implementation of capital outflow controls, and crackdown of underground banking and related crimes.
