Hong Kong: all our coverage

All six of Macau's casino operators signed up on Friday as passive investors in a MOP20 billion government guidance fund, with every pataca credited against the non-gaming spending they promised for their 2023 concessions. Sands China says its share replaces projects it had planned to build.

Marina Bay Sands took the bigger hit, with EBITDA down 21%, while Sands China's revenue rose 8.4% on the quarter and its share of Macao's mass market reached its highest since 2023. The parent still spent $950 million on its own shares, raised its 2027 dividend by 20% and took its Sands China stake to 75.56%.

A casino applicant that studied the 10-hectare integrated resort plot at Colombo Port City has walked away during due diligence, officials told Sri Lanka's Parliament. Nobody has yet shown who stood behind it, and the casino rules any successor would need are still not in place.

Yonhap, citing an unnamed source, says Grand Korea Leisure's marketing staff and executives have been meeting customers in Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore and Mongolia without proper legal review, 11 years after Chinese police arrested Korean casino staff for recruiting gamblers. GKL says its staff serve existing customers and recruit no one.

Galaxy Entertainment Group's chairman bought 4.6 million shares for cash on the first trading day after Macau's weakest monthly gaming revenue of the year, paying less than the stock traded for on the exchange that day. The filing shows the price; it does not show who sold.

Immigration officers, the National Bureau of Investigation and the army raided two sites in Zamboanga Sibugay on 2 October and found some 3,000 mobile phones. The Bureau of Immigration calls it this year's biggest offshore gaming bust, which says as much about the ban as about the raid.

NagaWorld's operator says gross gaming revenue for the first nine months of 2026 fell to $417.9 million, with VIP rollings down by more than half. Set against its half-year results, the figures imply a third quarter about 43% weaker than a year ago, and this time the mass market fell too.

SJM Holdings' 2026 interim report shows what Macau's end of satellite casinos did to Macau's longest-established operator: less revenue and a smaller share of the market, but a better margin and more gaming revenue in the casinos it now runs itself. The loss still widened, debt rose to HK$30.2 billion, and management says the job now is productivity.

PAGCOR's chairman wants the online market written into statute before his term ends, so that it "will not easily be scrapped". A Hong Kong-listed newcomer has meanwhile shown how much of that market still rests on the regulator's accreditations, and how quickly they can go.

Every vested share the Melco chairman held outside the listed parent went into an irrevocable trust on 16 September, a filing shows. Control of the Macau operator does not move, but the shares that did are now reported as no longer his.

Evolution commissioned it in 2022 to answer Black Cube, has called it exonerating, and spent months resisting its disclosure. Now that it is out, it clears Evolution of illegal practice and of operating in sanctioned countries, and separately finds significant compliance failings and games reachable from four prohibited markets. Playtech has moved first on the reading.

A Hong Kong default judgment against a Macau high roller cannot be enforced in Singapore because gambling debts offend the country's public policy, the High Court has ruled, even where the gambling was lawful at a licensed casino. The decision unsettles a 2004 precedent and the way Asian casinos extend credit to customers whose assets sit in Singapore.

Las Vegas Sands bought 1,623,200 shares on Monday and tipped its Macau subsidiary past 75%. The consequence is not the stake, it is the listing rule Sands China had to switch to as a result.

A Hong Kong filing puts the half-year loss at about HK$136.8m against HK$1.42bn. Strip out last year's impairment and the comparison is HK$148.6m, an improvement of roughly 8%.

Meta has removed more than 159 million fraudulent ads and shut down 10.9 million scam-linked accounts in 2025, while a joint international operation with the Royal Thai Police, FBI, and US Department of Justice disabled 150,000 accounts tied to Southeast Asian scam centres and led to 21 arrests, as criminal networks increasingly use fake gambling platforms to lure victims.
