While five days of data is not enough from which to draw many conclusions, the May holiday is off to a strong start. Average table revenues for 5 days spanning April 30-May 4th were HK$1.2 billion, up 24% YoY (HK$975 million) and up 36% from last week’s HK$886 million. In-line with our earlier projections, we expect May GGR growth to accelerate to 16-20% or HK$29.5-30.5 billion.
