China's underground gambling market is worth about $362
billion a year, according to Macau legislator David Chow. ``I
think at least 70 percent of our customers will come from China,''
said Galaxy Director Francis Lui, a property developer. Macau has room to make money for the gaming companies, said
Deutsche Bank's Falcone, who's visited twice. ``It's undercapitalized, under-invested in, with smoke-filled
rooms and gamblers five deep to a table,'' he said. ``It's a

said. In New Jersey's Atlantic City, the No. 2 U.S. gambling
destination, the average is $2,600. In Las Vegas it's $2,200. Wynn
Resorts stock has risen 34 percent this year. ``These world-class operators will bring an improvement to
Macau,'' said Norman Ho, who helps manage $2 billion at Value
Partners Ltd. in Hong Kong. ``They are not new to this game. They
can bring proven models, nice setting, professional people.'' Until now, Macau's reputation has been anything but
The speck of Chinese mainland, with two inhabited islands,

the mouth of the Pearl River estuary, a trading gateway to China,
made it a target for four Dutch attacks. All were repulsed from

Hong Kong, 65 kilometers away, Macau declined into a sleepy
village. When Ho opened his first casino in 1962, Macau's main
industries were fishing, firecrackers and incense-making. Criminals followed the gambling money. Triads have fought
sporadic gang wars over control of casino VIP rooms and loan-
sharking operations -- most recently in the 1999 lead-up to the
resumption of Chinese rule, when 40 people died in shootouts. Wynn Resorts is waiting for credit legislation to be passed
before it starts building on a new strip reclaimed from Macau's
harbor. The law would regulate the way casinos give credit to
players, thereby marginalizing loan-sharks, the gaming board's das
Neves said. Steve Wynn, the 62-year-old company chairman and chief
Wynn Resorts offered 7 million shares to investors May 7 to
raise $268.1 million. The company said it will use some of the
``The Americans are concerned because Macau does not have any
regulations or law concerning gambling,'' das Neves said. ``In the
last 40 years, we've had a monopoly system. We didn't need to make
laws, regulations to control one operator.'' Legislation to combat money-laundering and tax evasion should
be passed next year, he said. Promoters who get commissions from
casinos for delivering customers will require a government
Other risks remain. While 21 companies bid for a gambling
license in 2002, Macau offered only three. They went to Ho's
closely held Sociedade de Jogos de Macau, Wynn Resorts and Galaxy.
The Las Vegas Sands operates under a sub-concession from Galaxy's
license, leaving it vulnerable should Galaxy ever be disqualified. Macau wants to develop more diverse attractions to attract
families and business conventions, the territory's 49-year-old
chief executive, Edmund Ho, said when licenses were awarded. Sam Ho, an analyst at Hong Kong's East Asia Asset Management
Co., which manages $600 million in equities, says he has doubts
that Las Vegas glitz will broaden Macau's appeal. ``The mainland Chinese people may not care about the image or
atmosphere of the casinos,'' Ho said. ``The culture is different,
and it's a different group of people than those visiting Las
