Hann Casino Resort, an integrated resort located in the Clark Freeport Zone in Pampanga, Philippines, is set to launch the first floor of its major casino expansion this Friday. The new addition, named The Canyon, represents the first phase of a larger growth project designed to significantly increase gaming capacity and guest amenities at the resort.
Macau is preparing to close a significant chapter in its gaming history as Landmark Casino, the city’s last remaining satellite casino, is set to shut its doors on 30 December. The closure marks the end of an era for the satellite‐casino model — once a unique and defining feature of Macau’s gaming landscape — which has steadily contracted following regulatory reforms and concession renewals introduced in recent years. Landmark’s exit follows a wave of closures throughout 2023–2025, driven by operators’ reassessment of contractual risks and tightening oversight by the government.
MGM China delivered a standout performance at the 2025 Macau Occupational Skills Recognition System (MORS) Gold Pin Competition, securing 10 awards and reaffirming its position as one of Macau’s leading advocates for professional development in the hospitality and tourism sector. The MORS programme, established to uplift service standards and strengthen workforce capabilities across the city, is regarded as one of the highest benchmarks of professional excellence in Macau’s tourism industry. MGM’s strong showing highlights the company’s continued investment in skills training, talent development, and service quality enhancement.
Sands China celebrated a major milestone as it marked 10 years of supporting Macau’s small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through its flagship F.I.T. initiative, culminating in a Supplier Excellence Awards gala that showcased the company’s long-term commitment to strengthening the local business ecosystem. Over the past decade, Sands China has consistently prioritised local procurement, expanding opportunities for Macau-based suppliers and helping them integrate into the broader hospitality and entertainment supply chain across its integrated resorts.
SJM Resorts has reaffirmed its long-standing commitment to community welfare by donating MOP700,000 to support Tung Sin Tong’s annual fundraising campaign. The donation continues a tradition of collaboration between one of Macau’s oldest charitable organisations and one of the city’s major gaming operators. Tung Sin Tong, founded in 1892, is renowned for providing medical services, education support, and social assistance to the elderly and underprivileged — and SJM’s contribution helps sustain these programmes at a time when community needs remain significant.
