July GGR grew 20% YoY to HK$28.63 billion (US$ 3.69 billion). Volumes were the driver of the strength and all segments performed well. Mass, VIP, and slot revenues increased 32%, 16%, and 11%, respectively. VIP hold percentage was normal versus slightly below normal hold percentage in July 2012. We estimate that including direct play, VIP hold was 3.02% versus a normalized 3.00%. With normal VIP hold in both periods, GGR growth would have been 17%.
