From a performance perspective, it’s been a pretty good year for Macau’s Paradise Entertainment. The company reported a 19.4% increase in 1H25 revenues to around US$65 million, with both its satellite operation, Casino Kam Pek Paradise, and its supplier business, LT Game, generating growth.
But the government’s decision to end the satellite era by year’s end means Kam Pek no longer has a future – leaving Paradise with only LT Game to carry it forward from 2026 onwards.
Paradise has made efforts in recent years to expand its supplier arm internationally, with some success, however its grip on Macau’s stadium ETG industry appears to be loosening. In September, Macau’s Judicial Court of First Instance dismissed long-running claims by LT Game against Light & Wonder over two disputed electronic table game patents and even went so far as to declare the patents null and void – potentially opening the door for international ETG suppliers to finally enter the market.
LT Game has confirmed it will appeal the decision, although it may only be a matter of time before market forces rather than legal tie-ups determine who rules the city’s ETG space.
For Paradise chair Jay Chun, who has also put an end to the Macao Gaming Show he launched a decade ago, it might be time to get creative.
