SJM Resorts will cease operations at Casino Kam Pek Paradise at 11:59pm on December 1st, 2025, following coordination with government authorities and the venue’s service provider.
Casino Kam Pek Paradise is a satellite casino operated by Hong Kong-listed Paradise Entertainment under SJM’s gaming license.
The decision was announced on Wednesday, November 26th. According to SJM, the closure aligns with the Macau government’s policy of maintaining a healthy and orderly gaming industry and complies with the amended Gaming Law and related regulations.
Under the government’s 2021 revision to the gaming law, all satellite casinos were given a three-year transition period to regularize their operations or close by the end of 2025. The shutdown of Kam Pek Paradise follows this requirement.
SJM stated that all gaming tables and machines currently in operation at the property will be redeployed to its self-promoted casinos. From December 2nd onward, customers holding chips, deposits, or cash rebates accumulated at Kam Pek Paradise may process follow-up arrangements at other SJM-operated properties, with the company pledging to honor all entitlements.
The operator also stressed that safeguarding local employment remains a priority. All local employees directly hired by SJM will retain their jobs and be reassigned to other casinos as needed. Local staff not directly employed by SJM will be invited to apply for suitable vacancies across the group, with equal consideration under the same conditions. Support measures will be offered, based on individual circumstances, to ensure a smooth transition.
SJM added that it will complete all necessary legal procedures to guarantee an orderly handover, reaffirming its commitment to corporate responsibility and to contributing to the stable development of Macau’s gaming sector.
