Macau Legend said its board has approved a proposed capital reorganization aimed at strengthening the company’s balance sheet and paving the way for a rights issue.
The plan, conditional on the firm’s change of domicile to Bermuda, will reduce the nominal value of each issued share from HK$1 ($0.13) to HK$0.01 ($0.0013) through a capital reduction. The move cancels HK$0.99 ($0.13) of paid-up capital per share, with the credit transferred to the contributed surplus account under Bermuda law.
Following the reduction, authorized but unissued shares of HK$1 ($0.13) will be subdivided into 100 new shares of HK$0.01 ($0.0013) each. The surplus account will then be applied to offset accumulated losses, subject to legal requirements and the company’s bye-laws.
As of the latest practicable date, Macau Legend’s authorized share capital stood at HK$1 billion ($130 million), divided into one billion shares.
After the reorganization, the authorized capital will remain HK$1 million ($130 million) but represented by 100 billion shares of HK$0.01 ($0.0013) each. Issued capital will fall from HK$620.1 million ($80.6 million) to HK$6.2 million ($806.154), though the number of issued shares will remain unchanged at 620,118,712.
The board said the restructuring will not materially affect the group’s net asset value, operations or shareholder interests, aside from professional fees and related expenses. Directors must also confirm that the company can meet its liabilities on the effective date, set for December 29th, 2025.
Macau Legend, which reported tightened cash flow and rising operational pressures in its 2025 interim report, said the reorganization is necessary to meet the Cayman Islands’ legal requirements for its planned rights issue. The fundraising is intended to bolster liquidity, sustain core operations and provide flexibility for future initiatives.
Macau Legend, which used to run the Legend Palace casino under a services agreement with SJM Holdings and still operates the waterfront Fisherman’s Wharf complex, has been grappling with heavy losses.
The firm reported a net loss of HK$1.42 billion ($182.7 million) in the first half of 2025, after a HK$622 million ($80 million) loss last year.
Six Filipino police officers are accused of stealing PHP13 million ($230,000) in evidence money seized during an October 2024 raid on a Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO), according to a report by GMA News.
The officers are now under restrictive custody as the investigation progresses. The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) said the missing funds were part of PHP141 million ($2.48 million) recovered in the operation.
The discrepancy surfaced in November, when a court declared the search illegal and ordered the cash returned to the property owners. When authorities opened the evidence containers, only PHP128 million ($2.25 million) was found, while another box contained counterfeit bills.
DILG Secretary Jonvic Remulla said internal investigators later identified six officers allegedly involved in the pilferage, including the evidence custodian. Police Major General Robert Morico II, acting director of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group, confirmed that the custodian was among those placed under restrictive custody as the inquiry proceeded.
Criminal complaints have been filed against the six officers, including qualified theft, malversation of public funds, opening of closed documents, falsification of public documents and illegal possession or use of fake treasury or bank notes. Administrative cases have also been initiated.
The incident comes as Philippine authorities clean up the remnants of POGO operations, a sector which was banned due to its links to criminal activity and regulatory breaches. The government ordered all POGO businesses to shut down by the end of 2024, citing national security concerns, tax compliance issues and a series of high-profile criminal cases tied to the industry.

Maybank expects Genting Malaysia’s expansion to drive substantial earnings growth, forecasting net profit to peak at MYR1.93 billion ($406 million) in 2030, supported largely by the group’s multi-billion dollar investment in its New York casino operations.
The projection reflects anticipated contributions from Genting New York’s newly secured Class III downstate casino license, which allows full table-game operations for the first time.
More recent analysis from CreditSights, however, outlines a more cautious outlook, emphasizing leverage pressures, rating risks and the low likelihood of a full privatization of Genting Malaysia.
CreditSights — a Fitch Group research unit — noted that Genting Berhad has completed its takeover offer for Genting Malaysia, raising its stake from 50 percent to 73.13 percent but falling short of the 75 percent required for delisting. The firm said it ‘continues to view privatization of Genting Malaysia as unlikely,’ highlighting Malaysian takeover rules that prevent Genting Berhad from acquiring additional voting shares for the next 12 months.
While the stake increase strengthens Genting Berhad’s strategic control, CreditSights warned that the move also heightens the risk of rating actions across the Genting group. It said the higher ownership ‘could drive a meaningful worsening of Genting Berhad’s credit metrics’ as the parent company shoulders Genting Malaysia’s large-scale New York expansion. The firm now anticipates a ‘high rating downgrade risk’ for both Genting Berhad and Genting Malaysia at Moody’s and Fitch, and noted tighter rating headroom at S&P.
Genting New York’s casino license remains the central catalyst behind Maybank’s bullish earnings view. CreditSights said the winning bid includes a MYR25.8 billion ($5.5 billion) expansion slated for 2026–2030 and a MYR2.8 billion ($600 million) upfront license fee. Management expects Genting New York’s gross gaming revenue to ‘more than double beginning FY27’ once Phase 1 is completed in late 2026 or early 2027.
Despite this supportive revenue profile, CreditSights cautioned that the project will be ‘largely debt-funded and front-loaded,’ pushing Genting Malaysia’s net leverage to between 6x and 6.2x by end-FY26 if no Miami asset sale proceeds. It pointed to several potential mitigants, including funding support from Genting Berhad, improved performance at Genting Malaysia’s Malaysian and UK operations, and dividend restraint over the next two to three years.
On December 1st, Genting’s Resorts World New York City secured approval from the state’s Gaming Facility Location Board for its $7.5 billion plan to convert its Queens property into New York City’s first commercial casino. The New York State Gaming Commission has until December 31st to ratify the recommendation, which could allow the venue to launch hundreds of table games by March 2026.
The proposal features a $5.5 billion expansion of the Aqueduct site, including a 500,000-square-foot gaming floor, 2,000 hotel rooms, a 7,000-seat entertainment venue and new public green spaces. State officials estimate the enlarged operation could generate $2.5 billion for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority between 2026 and 2029, in addition to contributions to education and the racing industry.
Resorts World, which currently draws around 5 million visitors annually, intends to hire up to 2,000 employees and has outlined a $2 billion community-benefits package covering housing, infrastructure and a new innovation campus.

Good Morning. New York. Concrete jungle where dreams are made of. And those dreams just got a lot more real for Genting’s Resorts World New York City, after securing approval for the first commercial casino in the state. While there are still hoops to jump through, the group can now go ahead with its multi-billion-dollar redevelopment plan for its Queens property and tap into a highly-lucrative market. Looking at Macau, analysts have high hopes for December, boosted by a late-November surge after the National Games. But even the increase won’t stop the closure of more satellite casinos, with Kam Pek and Casino Fortuna on the chopping block.
Genting is set to see a strong boost from its US operations, following the group’s award of the first commercial casino license in New York City. The approval marks the penultimate step in the licensing process, with the New York State Gaming Commission having until the end of the month to ratify the recommendation. The group is hoping to launch hundreds of new table games by the end of March 2026 after a $5.5 billion transformation of its Queen’s property.
This month marked a watershed moment for Sri Lanka, as it formally launched its new Gaming Regulatory Authority.
The new gaming watchdog was established under the Gambling Regulatory Authority Act No. 17 of 2025, which was passed in Parliament in late August and certified by Speaker Jagath Wickramaratne in early September.
The new legislation replaces former laws including the Betting on Horse Racing Ordinance, 2010 Casino Business Act and the Gaming Ordinance.
Existing operators will be required to transition into compliance under the new regulator.
The bill was passed unanimously in Parliament after its approval by the Parliamentary Committee on Public Finance.
Lawmakers have emphasized that the new watchdog is intended to standardize the sector, strengthen compliance—including anti-money laundering measures—and mitigate potential social harm while supporting tourism and economic growth.
The timing of the body’s establishment has been significant, coming after the August opening of Melco’s City of Dreams Sri Lanka, a $1.2 billion integrated resort that is the largest private investment in the nation.
Industry experts previously told AGB that Sri Lanka’s ambition to position itself as “India’s Macau” hinges on consistent regulation and effective governance, making the new Authority a foundational element for future development.
Despite the downgrade to ‘B-‘, the analysts indicate that the outlook for the operator remains stable.
According to a Tuesday note, the company’s ‘EBITDA has been significantly below our expectations due to persistent underperformance of it Philippine casino resort business’.
The analysts further noted that it expects the company’s main cash flor ratios ‘to remain at a significantly deteriorated level’.
Despite this, the group notes that ‘the likelihood of a significant deterioration in liquidity is low for the time being’.
The downgrade comes after Universal Entertainment significantly revised down its earnings forecast for this year in mid-November.
S&P analysts are now forecasting EBITDA to remain between JPY24-25 billion for about one year from 2026. The group indicates this is ‘because operating profit of its casino resort business in the Philippines has fallen into the red again due to intensifying competition, although its Japanese gaming machines business has recovered to a certain extent.’
A recovery in EBITDA from Okada Manila ‘will likely be delayed’, note the analysts, citing ‘sluggish performance of its major VIP customer services from a decrease in the number of overseas tourists from China and other regions to the Philippines’.
The group also notes that the company faces ‘stiff competition’ in the Philippine market, with expectations the company will ‘aim to restore and stabilize performance by trying to attract customers’.
An increase in marketing expenses is expected to contrast the recovery in visitor numbers, with expectations for Okada’s EBITDA to be around JPY12 billion this year and around JPY15-16 billion in 2026.
