Casino operator Melco Crown Entertainment (MCE) is reportedly looking at belatedly launching junket operations at its Studio City property in Macau.

Studio City made waves at last October’s official grand opening based on its complete lack of VIP gaming tables. However, the company’s chief operating officer Ted Chan Ying Tat recently suggested that Studio City was preparing to roll out the VIP red carpet.

On Friday, MCE held an event for local companies to learn more about becoming suppliers to the casino operator. GGRAsia quoted Chan telling local media that MCE was considering ending its VIP embargo in part because “we internally are not very satisfied with the current condition” of the Studio City property.

When Studio City launched, MCE CEO Lawrence Ho framed the lack of VIP rooms as a “business decision” based on (a) the company’s stated desire to focus the property on mass market guests and (b) its disappointment with being allocated only 250 new gaming tables, not the 400 the company had sought.
