Galaxy Entertainment Group has announced a new salary increase for employees, set to take effect from 1 April 2026, reinforcing the company’s commitment to workforce stability and morale amid continued recovery in Macau’s gaming and tourism sector. The move follows similar compensation adjustments by other concessionaires and reflects intensifying competition for experienced frontline and operational talent as visitor volumes normalize.
According to the announcement, the pay rise will apply across eligible staff categories, covering both gaming and non-gaming roles within Galaxy’s integrated resort portfolio. While specific increment percentages were not disclosed publicly, the company emphasized that the adjustment forms part of a broader human-capital strategy focused on retention, career development, and service excellence as operating conditions continue to improve.
Industry observers note that salary revisions have become a recurring theme among Macau operators since late 2024, driven by rising operating demands, service expectations, and inflationary pressures. Analysts point out that labor costs are a significant component of casino operating expenses, but competitive remuneration is increasingly viewed as essential to maintaining service quality and long-term brand positioning in a post-pandemic market.
Galaxy’s announcement also aligns with broader signs of confidence across the sector, as operators balance cost control with selective reinvestment in staff and guest experience. With Macau authorities continuing to stress sustainable development and non-gaming diversification, employee compensation policies are increasingly seen as a barometer of operators’ outlook on business stability and future growth.
