Macau: SJM Resorts will close Casino Casa Real at 23:59 on November 21, moving gaming equipment to other properties. Customers with chips, deposits or cash rebates can redeem them at SJM casinos from November 22. The venue employs 285 people; SJM said directly employed staff will be reassigned and contractor hires may apply for vacancies. The closure follows Casino Legend Palace's November 12 shutdown amid a regulatory phase-out of third-party satellite casinos before a year-end compliance deadline; the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau will inspect.

Who Benefited

SJM Resorts' core properties will benefit from redeployed gaming tables and machines, potentially increasing throughput and revenues at remaining casinos while aligning operations with Macau's regulatory framework.

Who Impacted

Employees hired by third-party service providers, local contractors, and communities tied to Casa Real's operations experienced immediate job insecurity and potential income loss pending redeployment or rehiring outcomes.
