Wynn Macau has reportedly filed a legal claim in Hong Kong against Chinese film producer Yu Dong, seeking to recover more than HK$4.73 million ($605,000) in unpaid gambling debt, according to media outlet HK01.
Court documents cited by HK01 indicate that Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A., the operator of Wynn’s Macau casino resort, filed the claim with the Hong Kong High Court on March 3rd.
The defendant, Yu Dong, is a prominent Chinese film producer and president of Bona Film Group, known for producing major Chinese films.
According to the filing, Yu was a customer at Wynn’s Macau casino and borrowed HK$10 million ($1.28 million) in gaming credit from the casino on May 1st, 2024. The loan was originally due to be repaid by May 16th of the same year.
The claim states that Yu repaid only part of the debt by November 2024, leaving an outstanding balance of more than HK$5.73 million ($734,000). In January 2026, Yu reportedly issued a check to settle the remaining amount, but the check was returned by the bank.
Yu subsequently repaid HK$1 million ($128,000) on February 1st, reducing the outstanding balance to more than HK$4.73 million ($605,000), according to the court filing. Wynn Macau then initiated legal proceedings in the Hong Kong High Court to recover the remaining amount, along with related interest.
According to various media reports, responses to the case have varied. Bona Film Group initially described the matter as Yu’s “personal affair,” saying it would not affect the company’s operations. However, the company’s investor hotline later said the report was “false information” and stated that it had reported related posts.
Yu’s personal lawyer told media outlets that the debt arose from Yu providing credit guarantees for a third party. The lawyer added that the amount involved in the lawsuit has now been fully repaid after verification with Wynn and that legal procedures to withdraw the case are currently being processed.
