Nearly forty casinos are operated in Macau by a sextuplet that also consists of Galaxy Entertainment Group Limited, SJM Holdings Limited, MGM China Holdings Limited, Sands China Limited, and Melco Resorts and Entertainment Limited. Macau is home to practically all of these casinos. Allegedly, the initial gaming licenses for all of these businesses were let to lapse in late June; nevertheless, they were later given the opportunity to pay a premium to extend their validity for an additional six months; this extension will run out on December 31.

Ingress made for the first time:

According to Inside Asian Gaming, Wynn Macau Limited, through its subordinate Wynn Resorts (Macau) SA, has now become the first of Macau's "big six" casino-operating firms to publicly reveal its application for one of the new ten-year gambling licenses. This was accomplished by Wynn Macau Limited's use of the Wynn Resorts (Macau) SA. The same source went on to reveal that the five remaining operators are said to be extremely interested in following suit, despite the fact that they only have till tomorrow to officially submit their bids.

Financial fortunes:

Even though it recently racked up a first-half aggregated loss of approximately $458.45 million, which was brought on by a drop of almost 58% year-on-year in its accompanying gambling revenues to $282.71 million, Wynn Macau Limited is reportedly eager to remain in the Macau casino market. This is despite the fact that it recently racked up a loss of approximately $458.45 million.

The shutdown began on July 15 and lasted till July 22.
