HONG KONG, Nov 2 (Reuters): Gambling revenue in Macau plunged 72.5% in October year-on-year, extending the steep coronavirus-driven declines of recent months but at a slower pace as visitors to the world's biggest casino hub from mainland China picked up slightly.

October's figure of 7.3 billion patacas (US$914 million) released by Macau's government on Sunday, was in line with analyst expectations of a drop of around 72%-74%.
