Melco Crown joins ‘bonus’ party with one-month pay for staff

Lawrence Ho’s Melco Crown Entertainment is the latest casino operator to announce a bonus for its staff.

The casino developer declared last Tuesday that I is giving a “one-month discretionary bonus” for its non-management staff, although it did not give details on how many workers were eligible for the payment or the aggregate amount involved.

“The bonus will be paid out before the Chinese New Year,” the company said in a statement.

Melco Crown Entertainment saw its revenue rise 22 percent to $1.15 billion in the third quarter of 2016, thanks to contributions from its new Studio City property in Macau as well as a strong performance by its City of Dreams Manila integrated resort. Ho attributed Melco Crown’s “many good results in 2016” to “the continuous support and dedication from all of our colleagues.”
