Casino Taipa has restarted its Macau operations after being dark for eight years.
The casino, located in the Regency Art Hotel, is under the gaming license of gaming operator SJM Holdings Ltd., according to Union Gaming Securities Asia Ltd. However, there is a small chance that the gaming venue will contribute “substantial extra revenue” for the operator.
“It is small, with just five tables and 112 electronic gaming seats (a mixture of slot machines and ETGs) spread across 795 square meters,” Union Gaming analyst Grant Govertsen said in a note.
The analyst said it appears that SJM reactivated the dormant casino license for Casino Taipa, which has been closed since 2008, rather than apply for a new license.
