  • All 41 of Macau's casinos are up for license renewals, due September 14.
  • At pre-pandemic levels, Macau's $ 36 billion gaming revenue accounted for 70-80% of the annual GDP.
  • The extension of the operating license from June to December cost each casino $ 5.7 million.

With gaming revenues six times that of the Las Vegas Strip, it's not hard to see why Macau is often called the "Las Vegas of Asia." The tiny island in the South China Sea known for its glitzy casinos and shopping malls. Macau's GDP in 2019 stood at $ 55.19 billion, of which $ 36 billion came from gaming revenues. The GDP starkly dropped to $ 29.91 billion in 2021, Trading Economics data shows.

Its future as a gambling den, however, hangs in the balance, as bidding to extend gaming concessions — the licenses to operate casinos — for casino operators ends today, September 14, at 5:45 p.m local time. 

On June 26, the gaming licenses expired for Macau's six major casino operators: Galaxy Entertainment, Melco Resorts & Entertainment, MGM China, Sands China, SJM Resorts, and Wynn Macau. Collectively, these six operators manage each of Macau's 41 casinos. They were granted a short extension until December 31 to accommodate the bidding process, according to a June 23 report from Inside Asian Gaming, or IAG. Without a gaming concession, these venues will not be allowed to operate in Macau.

On September 13, one day before the application deadline, Wynn Resorts announced it had requested a 10-year gaming concession contract from the Macau government. If approved, the license will start on January 1, 2023. Wynn was the first casino to publicly announce its application.

DS Kim, a research analyst for JPMorgan, wrote in a note on September 13 that the participation of all six incumbents is a "given" as the licensing extension draws to a close. Kim added that the government is likely to announce the six winners by the end of the year. 

The extension of the operating license to December cost each casino Macanese pataca (MOP) 47 million, or $ 5.7 million, per the IAG report. This expense is a drop in the water for the casinos, but it comes at a time when casinos have bled red for months. Revenues have come under pressure from China's stringent zero-Covid policy, which has drastically reduced visitors from mainland China, and a shift in Chinese regulatory policy, which is now cracking down on corruption.

In July, Macau's gaming revenues — called gross gaming revenue, or GGR — sank to new lows at MOP $ 398 million, according to data from Macau's Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau. That's down 95.3% on-year and down 83.9% on-month. 

"The sharp decline in Macau gross gaming revenue (GGR) alongside a new requirement for casino operators to pay gaming taxes based on a minimum annual target GGR has had and will have a negative impact on their profitability," Leon Leong, a senior analyst at Reorg, told Insider. Reorg provides intelligence on financially distressed companies.

However, the hits just keep on coming. 

In 2002, gaming licenses were granted to the casinos for a 20-year period, but the new licensing duration has been slashed to 10 years. Because of the shorter license, "casinos may be relatively reluctant to invest more as there is greater long term uncertainty," Leong said. That's especially in the context of greater US-China geopolitical tension: Most of the concessionaires' parent companies are US based.

Macau's history as a gaming hub goes back three centuries, when Macau first opened its harbor to visitors. Macau's Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau now considers gaming a "pillar" industry of the island's economy.

While gaming concessions were once monopolized by Stanley Ho — the late "King of Macau" — and his family, the monopoly was broken in 2002 when five more operators entered the gaming arena. The industry's future now hangs in the balance.

  • Japan’s yen has gone into orbit on Thursday, breaking through key technical support levels as rising global growth risks nudged investors into a rush to safe haven-assets.
  • Apple cut its sales forecast for its latest quarter, citing slowing iPhone sales in China, while Chinese manufacturing reads added to the burden of worries.
  • The subsequent spike in risk aversion triggered massive stop-loss flows from anxious investors who had held short positions on the yen.
  • The Aussie dollar dipped to decade lows in early trade.

SINGAPORE (Reuters) – The yen soared versus its peers on Thursday, breaking through key technical support levels as heightened global growth risks pushed investors into safe haven-assets in moves exacerbated by thin holiday volumes.

Charging the risk averse mood was a rare revenue warning from Apple, which added to worries about fading global demand.

CHINA is the stated adversary in Donald Trump’s incipient trade war. But 30% of the value of the goods China exports to America is added elsewhere. If the row escalates, countries entwined in Chinese supply chains will suffer.


In absolute terms, Japanese suppliers will fare worst. Japan is the country that exports most to firms in China that export onwards to America. But relative to economic size, such suppliers are a bigger part of several small, open Asian economies (see chart). Between 1% and 2% of some countries’ total output is shipped first to China and then on to America. If Chinese exports to America were to fall by 10%—an extreme but not impossible scenario—it…

All Our Asias takes players on a journey through a dying man’s mind, getting to know him and the protagonist, Yuito, through the memories we see, the people we meet, and the moments we reflect upon. In doing so, we can help Yuito understand himself and his place in the world a little bit better, and all by exploring soothing, PSX-era landscapes.

Yuito is a Japanese-American hedge fund analyst, one who learns his estranged father is dying form a letter. It is much too late to be able to go visit the man in his final days, but Yuito is able to do a Memory World Visitation, exploring his father’s memories given a kind of surreal, dream-like form. Through doing this and interpreting what he sees, players can help come to know this man, but also help Yuito come to terms with himself and his identity.

All Our Asias is a game “about race, identity, and nationality”, delving into these concepts through the narrative and the abstract, calming environments the players wander through this memory journey. It’s a solemn adventure of quiet places and sombre music, one that will effortlessly carry the player into a different life, helping them try to know and understand the connection between Yuito and his distant father.

All Our Asias is available for free (but you get a lot of incredible stuff if you buy the $ 4.99 edition) from Itch.io and Steam. For more information on the game and developer Sean Han Tani, you can head to the developer’s site or follow them on YouTube and Twitter.

Time to move on. Perhaps these days, the best that a traveler can do is gamely try to stay ahead of the Instagrammers, cigar bars, and selfie obsessives.

Canggu, far up the sands from Bali’s frenetic Kuta-Legian-Seminyak strip, is a case in point.

PRESS RELEASE:

HONG KONG–(BUSINESS WIRE)–December 28, 2017–

BINANCE, the world’s fastest-growing cryptocurrency exchange, which was recently ranked the top exchange in the world by 24 hour volume, has partnered with Asia’s premier high-end live video platform Uplive, to bring Uplive’s over 20 million users to the Binance platform.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20171228005141/en/

As part of this cooperation, Uplive will feature a special virtual gift created specially for Binance’s token BNB. Uplive’s users will have the opportunity to send this special gift to the platform’s more than 60,000 broadcasters. Uplive will also offer its users the ability to use BNB in addition to Gifto, Uplive’s own virtual gifting token, in its in-app crypto wallet, when it becomes available in Q1, 2018.

Over 25 million virtual gifts are purchased on Uplive on a monthly basis. This branded virtual gift places Binance in the company of previous successful international brand promotions on Uplive, including Mercedes Benz, Vogue Magazine, and Paris Fashion Week.

BNB is the underlying gas powering Binance’s rapidly growing ecosystem, which passed three million users on Dec 28th.

Since launching five months ago, Binance has consistently ranked among the top-3 crypto exchanges in the world by trading volume. It recently achieved the top spot in the world on Dec 17th, with over US$ 4 billion equivalent of cryptocurrencies traded in 24 hours. Binance has distinguished itself with its superior exchange performance, smooth and easy to use interface, and battle-tested security. Binance is also the fastest growing crypto exchange in the world, with over three million users in five months.

Earlier in December, Gifto, which stands for virtual gifting protocol, launched as the inaugural project on Launchpad, Binance’s new token sale curation platform that curates high-quality token projects for its fast growing customer base. This was the first large scale crossover cooperation between crypto and traditional mobile Internet platforms. The public sale of Gifto was completed in a record time of just 1 minute, making it the fastest public token sale in Asia, and the fastest sale in the world since the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) market heated up in September.

“The founders of Uplive and Gifto have extensive successful startup experience. Their team has excellent execution, with world class product development and operation capabilities. Gifto is based on the proven, real world market demand from Uplive, and will enjoy benefit of jump starting from Uplive’s huge user base.” said He Yi, co-founder and CMO of Binance. “These are the main reasons for our cooperation, we prefer teams that act more than talk.”

Gifto was created by the Uplive team to de-centralize the successful virtual gifting model from Uplive, which earned more than US$ 100m in 2017. With Gifto, any content creator in the world can create their own customized, unique virtual gifts. They can then receive these gifts from their fans via a simple Web link on any content platform, including Facebook, Youtube, and Instagram. No additional tech integration is needed, making the transition between platforms easy to execute.

“It is our pleasure to work with Binance in such a mutually beneficial and innovative fashion. We believe that blockchain technology can really benefit mass consumers around the world, and we are honored to be have a partner such as Binance to bring these benefits to millions of users who previously may not understand blockchain or cryptocurrency.” said Andy Tian, co-founder and CEO of Uplive. “Binance’s world class engineering, operations, and customer care capabilities are key to their rapid ascension, and we are honored to be able to assist.”

EXCLUSIVE:

Southeast Asia’s PC online and mobile game revenue is projected to reach $ 2.2 billion by the end of 2017, and it could rise to $ 4.4 billion by 2021, according to a new report by market researcher Niko Partners.

This year’s forecast is higher than in the past, mainly on the strength of esports and new hit international games entering the Southeast Asia market. The numbers make Southeast Asia the world’s fastest-growing region for all online games revenue (PC and mobile).

Niko said that the number of PC online and mobile gamers in Southeast Asia is projected to rise from 300 million by the end of 2017 to more than 400 million by 2021.

Mobile game revenue is expected to surpass PC game revenue in 2018. But that doesn’t mean that the two categories are at odds with each other. Rather, Niko said that mobile games revenue is additive, not cannibalizing, when it comes to PC games usage.

Mobile games distribution is different in Southeast Asia than in the West, where Apple and Google’s app stores rule. In Southeast Asia, gamers download directly from game makers and local third-party Android markets. Global developers cannot rely solely on data analytics to understand the real story in the local markets but rather must research the reality for their games, Niko said.

Garena, now known as Sea Limited, went public on October 20, raising $ 884 million in an initial public offering for its PC and mobile games operation and distribution. Niko disclosed that Garena has hired Niko to do work for it.

“Esports has had a huge impact on the Southeast Asia region, and is the primary driver for the explosive growth in PC online games. The heavy growth of the MOBA genre is a major contributor to mobile esports as well,” said Lisa Cosmas Hanson, managing partner of Niko Partners.

Niko surveyed more than 1,400 gamers as well as executives at major Southeast Asian companies for the report.
