Overview of Macau's gaming market Macau is the only legalised gaming destination in China. In 1962, the Portuguese Government of Macau awarded an exclusive casino gaming licence to Sociedade de Turismo e Diversoes de Macao (``STDM''), a Macau company controlled by Dr. Stanley Ho. In December 2001, the Macau government decided to bring an end to STDM's monopoly of the gaming industry and to liberalise laws and regulations applicable to gaming activities. In 2002, gaming concessions were granted to three concessionaires after tendering. The three operators are (i) SJM whose concession is valid until March 2020, (ii) Wynn Resorts (Macau), S.A. whose concession is valid until June 2022, and (iii) Galaxy whose concession is valid until June 2022. Pursuant to the terms of the Concession as supplemented on 19th December, 2002 between Galaxy and the Macau government, Galaxy granted a sub-concession in December 2002 to Venetian Macau, S.A. In 2004, Macau was the world's second largest gaming market, behind the Las Vegas Strip. In 2004, Macau recorded US$5.0 billion (approximately HK$39 billion) in total gaming revenue (from games of fortune), an increase of 44% from 2003, as illustrated below According to the Macau DICJ, approximately 72% of the total gaming revenue (from games of fortune) were generated from VIP baccarat table games in 2004.
