SJM’s Casino Emperor Palace and Galaxy Entertainment’s Waldo Casino to cease operations
A further two satellite casinos are to shut in Macau by the end of October with Casino Emperor Palace,, owned by SJM Resorts, and Waldo Casino, owned by Galaxy Entertainment, closing their gaming floors.
Galaxy confirmed that the Waldo Hotel will continue its business. The two closures mean that just seven satellite casinos will remain in business in Macau, all owned under license by SJM Resorts .
SJM Resorts plans to transform the Ponte 16 and L’Arc Macau casinos into its own casinos.
SJM Resorts said: “All gaming tables and gaming machines currently operating at the [Emperor Palace] location will be redeployed to other casinos of the company to continue serving our valued customers. Customers holding chips, deposits, or cash rebates accumulated at Casino Emperor Palace that remain unredeemed after its closure may visit other casinos operated by SJM Resorts from October 31, 2025 onwards for follow-up arrangements. The company will ensure that all customer entitlements are duly honoured.”
“All local employees” at Casino Emperor Palace directly employed by SJM Resorts will be “reassigned to other casinos of the company to undertake gaming-related roles according to operational needs”, it said.
Galaxy Entertainment said of its Waldo closure: “With DICJ’s approval, the gaming tables currently operating at Waldo Casino will be reallocated to other casinos. Local team members currently working at Waldo Casino will be reassigned to other casinos or non-gaming roles under GEG based on operational needs, with all employment terms remaining unchanged. Valid chips bearing the Galaxy Waldo logo may be redeemed at designated counters at Galaxy Macau Casino or StarWorld Casino,” the firm said, referring to core properties in Cotai and downtown Macau respectively.
The casino regulator outlined in a Monday statement: “The DICJ will designate staff to oversee the formal closure process onsite. Regarding the 71 workers at the Casino Emperor Palace and 111 workers at the Waldo Casino , the DICJ will continue to maintain close communication with the Labour Affairs Bureau.”
