(Hong Kong).- Macau casino operators, vying for a licence in the world's biggest gambling hub, are expected to invest a total of around 100 billion patacas ($12.4 billion) over the next 10 years, local broadcaster TDM reported.
The seven applicants, which include incumbents Sands China (1928.HK), Wynn Macau (WYNN.O), Galaxy Entertainment (0027.HK), MGM China (2282.HK), Melco Resorts and SJM Holdings (0880.HK), as well as new entrant Genting Malaysia (GENM.KL), are competing for six slots.
Galaxy and Sands may invest more than 20 billion patacas each, while the others will invest less than 20 billion patacas. Altogether the total will be around 100 billion, TDM said.
Negotiations with the Macau government are almost complete the broadcaster said, with the bidders having reached agreement about what each of them proposes to do over new 10-year licence term which begins in 2023.
Malaysian group Genting is a credible threat that could unseat an incumbent Macau operator for a new licence, prompting the industry's biggest potential shakeup in more than two decades, analysts and executives say.
The six Macau incumbents have operated in the Chinese special administrative region since 2002, with their current concessions expiring at the end of this year.
