Good Morning. Australian gaming operators are going through the ringer, and none more so than Crown Resorts, who has just now received validation for its remediation changes at Crown Sydney. Authorities in NSW have ruled the multi-million dollar efforts were worth every penny, granting back its casino license. Meanwhile, in Macau April GGR is running flat, even though monthly output could hit $2.23 billion. And for hotels, Labor Day is in hot demand but prices won’t match CNY.
