MGM China Holdings Limited has completed the full set of salary increments for its eligible concessionaire staff, concluding the latest round of pay adjustments among Macau’s gaming operators. The increases, which took effect in January 2026, apply to employees hired before 1 January 2026, underscoring MGM China’s intention to reward staff for their contribution during the sector’s recovery phase and to align with industry-wide compensation practices.
Under the revised pay structure, employees earning a monthly base salary of MOP 16,000 or below received a flat increment of MOP 500, while those earning above that threshold were granted a 2% salary increase. This model reflects a standardised approach adopted across the Macau gaming industry, aimed at supporting lower-income staff while maintaining proportionality for higher-paid employees amid ongoing cost pressures.
Commenting on the initiative, Pansy Ho, Chairperson and Executive Director of MGM China Holdings Limited, said, “MGM extends its heartfelt gratitude to every team member for standing alongside the company over the years and for their dedication and innovative thinking in continuously enhancing our products and services. The Company is delighted to share the fruits of our collective efforts with everyone.” She added that as the new year begins, “the ‘15th Five-Year Plan’ is set to begin, bringing new development opportunities for Macau. MGM remains committed to supporting the policies of our nation and the SAR Government and will join hands with our team and all sectors of society to inject fresh momentum into Macau and create a brighter future together.”
The salary increments follow earlier announcements on discretionary bonuses and staff recognition, reflecting MGM China’s broader human-capital strategy. Similar wage adjustments have recently been confirmed by other concessionaires, including Sands China, Wynn Macau, SJM Resorts and Galaxy Entertainment Group, highlighting a sector-wide effort to retain talent and sustain workforce morale as Macau’s gaming market enters a more measured phase of growth.
