What MGM China does

Macau casino and resort operator, the joint venture between MGM Resorts International and Pansy Ho.

Earns most from tables and slot machines on its two Macau properties, where the government takes a large tax cut of gaming revenue, with hotel, dining and shops as a smaller extra. Its operating right comes from a licence granted for ten years from 2023. MGM Resorts International holds the majority, with Pansy Ho a significant minority holder.
