Paradise Entertainment has appointed Ho King Fung Eric as an independent non-executive director and audit committee member, effective June 12th, according to a Friday Hong Kong Exchange filing.Â
The appointment strengthens the board as the group refocuses after exiting the satellite casino business.
Ho, 49, holds commerce and law degrees from the University of New South Wales in Australia and is a Hong Kong solicitor. He has worked in investment banking, capital markets and legal practice, including at J.P. Morgan, Linklaters and Deutsche Bank AG’s Hong Kong Branch, where his last role was vice president and head of Hong Kong and Macau Origination.
The filing lists Ho as a member of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the CPPCC, honorary consul of Cabo Verde in Macau, president of the Money Exchangers Association of Macao and chairman of P & W, Money Changer, Limited. He is a nephew of former Macau Chief Executive Edmund Ho Hau Wah.
Ho will receive a director’s fee of HK$120,000 ($15,300) per year. He has no service contract or fixed term, and will be subject to retirement by rotation and re-election at least once every three years.
The appointment follows the December 2025 closure of Casino Kam Pek Paradise, Paradise’s satellite casino run under SJM Resorts’ license. Paradise has said it remains focused on electronic gaming equipment and systems in Macau and overseas markets.
