Paradise Entertainment’s subsidiary, LT Game, officially launched its gaming machine manufacturing line in Macau on Tuesday, April 15th.
The new facility allows the company to produce a wide range of entertainment equipment, targeting both local and international markets.
Jay Chun, Chairman and Managing Director of Paradise Entertainment, described the launch as a significant milestone for the company and an important step forward for the “Made in Macau” initiative.
Speaking to local media, Chun noted that the production line has a daily capacity of approximately 60 machines, with an annual output of nearly 20,000 units. However, due to the limited absorption capacity of the Macau market, the company’s primary focus will be on exports.
Ongoing trade tensions between China and the United States have affected access to the North American market. Increased tariffs imposed by the United States have made it more challenging to compete on price with American manufacturers.
Goods exported from Macau to the US face uncertainty due to shifting tariff policies, including the risk of shipments being returned if tariffs increase during transit. Given the company’s relatively small market share in the US, it is currently taking a “wait-and-see” approach, with plans to adjust its strategy once the policy environment becomes clearer.
The group’s facility is now fully operational and capable of producing various types of gaming equipment, including slot machines and electronic table games. It supports all of LT Game’s flagship models currently on the market, such as the LTS-1, LTS-2, MightyMite, Vista, Speedwave, and Ripple.
According to the company, the new line aims to improve supply chain efficiency, better serve regional markets, and enhance customer support capabilities. In addition to meeting local demand, the machines are already being exported to countries including Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and the Philippines.
Pending negotiations on satellite casino operations
Jay Chun, whose company also operates the Kam Pek satellite casino under SJM’s gaming license, said in an interview that while discussions with concessionaires are ongoing, the specific terms for future cooperation have yet to be finalized.
Chun expressed hope that the company will be able to continue operating its satellite casino, highlighting the advantage of having an in-house production line that allows for internal product testing and faster deployment within the casino.
Commenting on the legal requirement for satellite casinos to transition into management companies, Chun stated that while the transition is theoretically feasible, key issues—such as management fees—still need to be negotiated with the licensed gaming operators.
He noted that, under normal circumstances, “the government wouldn’t interfere in any commercial contracts. The guidelines issued by the government are primarily directed at the gaming concessionaires, and satellite casinos will only learn the specific details later.”
However, he added that the regulations have already “provided a pathway” for moving forward. The specific terms will be negotiated directly between the gaming concessionaires and the satellite casino operators, and there is hope for “faster negotiations” to allow more time for decision-making.
It is understood that Kam Pek Casino currently employs around 400 staff members, including foreign workers, and operates 30 gaming tables. Chun emphasized that many local employees have been with the company for up to 20 years, and that job stability remains a top priority.
