10月份澳门博彩业收入创纪录

　　Macau's gambling revenue rose to a record 12.7 billion patacas (US$1.59 billion) last month, analysts said in research reports published Wednesday, as a long National Day holiday and China's solid economic recovery boosted gaming demand.
　　分析师在周三公布的研究报告中说，上个月澳门博彩业收入增至创纪录的127亿澳门元（合15.9亿美元），原因是十一黄金周和中国坚实的经济复苏提振了博彩需求。

　　Gambling revenue increased 42% in October from a year earlier, and was 18% higher than September's 10.8 billion patacas, the research reports said. The Macau government only publishes gaming data once every quarter, and it doesn't comment on monthly statistics reported by the media and analysts.
　　研究报告说，10月份博彩业收入较去年同期增长42%，较9月份的108亿澳门元增加了18%。澳门特区政府只是每个季度公布一次博彩业数据，不对媒体和分析师们公布的月度统计数字置评。

　　The National Day holiday, which extended from Oct. 1 to Oct. 8, was the longest to date.
　　今年的十一黄金周从10月1日至10月8日，是迄今为止时间最长的黄金周。

　　Citigroup analyst Anil Daswani said in a note that Citigroup continues to recommend buying shares of Macau casino operators, underpinned by the recovery in gambling revenue and increasing visitor arrivals to the former Portuguese enclave, the only place in China where casino gambling is allowed.
　　花旗集团(Citigroup)分析师邓毅梁(Anil Daswani)在一份报告中说，由于博彩收入回升和赴澳门游客数量增加，花旗继续推荐买进澳门赌场运营商的股票。澳门是中国唯一一个法律允许博彩的地方。

　　Similarly J.P. Morgan analyst Billy Ng said in a note that he believes gaming revenue will continue to be strong for the rest of this year because of a lower comparison base and further improvement in China's economy.
　　同样，摩根大通(J.P. Morgan)分析师Billy Ng在一份报告中说，他认为今年剩余时间中博彩收入将继续保持强劲水平，原因是比较基数较低和中国经济进一步好转。
