The hotel's occupancy rate went from 76% to 96%, driving the average revenue per room from $82 to $152.

However, the casino marked seven fewer gaming machines than it had towards the end of Q1 2023, for a total of 670.

Despite this figure, the average win per unit per day was $437, rather than the $272 it had reported in 2023.

When broken down into different sectors, revenue from the casino contract increased 257% to $66.9m, hotel rooms rose 198.7% to $38.5m and entertainment grew 400% to $8.4m.

This is attributed to increasing levels of tourism between Macau and China, with the latest figures from Macau as a whole showing a similar trend.

Income for Studio City was $16.1m, which is compared to the ($26.9m) operating loss the year prior.

Adjusted EBITDA was $66.2m, a 628% increase from last year, attributable to the increase in revenue from casino contract and higher non-gaming revenues.
