Several of Macau’s largest gaming operators have announced discretionary bonuses for their employees, marking a continued trend of staff rewards linked to post-pandemic business recovery and expansion momentum.
The bonuses will be paid ahead of the Lunar New Year period, with most companies granting payments equivalent to one month of salary.
MGM China said its bonus would benefit approximately 95% of team members, with distribution starting on January 21. Chairperson and Executive Director Pansy Ho said the award reflects staff contributions during 2025, noting that the company continued to optimise products and service experiences while advancing business development. She added that MGM remains committed to its “Originality + Innovation” philosophy as it supports Macau’s position as a world-class tourism and leisure hub.
Galaxy Entertainment Group also confirmed a one-month discretionary bonus, covering 97% of its workforce, scheduled for payment on February 9. The company highlighted its entertainment and MICE portfolio, noting that it had staged more than 1,000 events since 2023. Galaxy reported net revenue of HK$12.2bn (US$1.56bn) in the third quarter of 2025, up 14% year on year, although adjusted EBITDA declined slightly compared with the previous quarter.
Wynn Macau announced a similar bonus, to be granted at the end of January to approximately 96.7% of its employees. President and Vice Chairwoman Linda Chen described 2025 as a milestone year for Macau and said Wynn would continue introducing high-end events to promote diversified tourism development.
Melco Resorts and Entertainment stated that all eligible non-management staff would receive a one-month discretionary bonus before the Lunar New Year. In addition, Melco will implement a 2.5% base salary increase for eligible non-management employees from April 1. Chairman and CEO Lawrence Ho said the rewards recognise the dedication and loyalty of staff who help maintain service standards and guest experience.
