The Macau gaming industry is synonymous with junkets. First started by none other than Stanley Ho in the 1960s, these junkets and the VIP gamblers they provide have played a vital role in Macau’s rise over the past decade.

However, the recent downturn has changed the landscape in this unique part of the world with the junket business suffering more than any other and a number of VIP rooms being forced to close in Macau over the past 12 months. So what does the future hold? In this issue of WGM, we speak exclusively to the Chairman of one of Macau’s biggest junket operators Tak Chun Group, Mr Levo Chan, about the current gaming climate, his expectations for the coming years and why Tak Chun has expanded while other junkets have slowed right down.  

Poker fans will enjoy our lengthy and intriguing interview with World Series of Poker (WSOP) Tournament Director Jack Effel who explains just how much goes into organizing the world’s biggest tournament series each and every year as well as regaling us with some of his favorite stories from the past. 

We tackle the smoking debate as Macau’s legislators decide whether to allow smoking in specially designated smoking lounges or ban the habit altogether, while our responsible gambling series sees us visit one of Macau’s main problem gambling treatment centres. 

In sport, we look at Manchester United’s big gamble on teen star Anthony Martial as well as examining which of the world’s major sports would benefit most from cracking the lucrative Chinese market. 

And our resident party animal tells us all about one of Macau’s newest trendy nightspots – Ritz-Carlton Bar & Lounge.


When it comes to iconic Macau attractions, there is no bigger annual event than the Macau Grand Prix. Since it was first held way back in 1954 as a small race for local motoring enthusiasts, the Macau Grand Prix has become one of the world’s most prestigious stand-alone events and a breeding ground for the next generation of champions.

In this issue of WGM we take a detailed look at the history of the Macau Grand Prix including how it all began, its evolution through the years, key figures and what to expect from the race in 2015. We also catch up with Hong Kong racing driver Marchy Lee to talk about his impressive career and what it means to drive the streets of Macau!
 
Another to sit down with the WGM team is Macau’s responsible gambling expert Dr Davis Fong, who tells us just how far the responsible gambling movement has come in Asia’s gaming hub over the past decade.    

In sport, we speak to snooker legend Jimmy White about his incredible life, while our football expert Leanne Lu previews the 2015/16 English Premier League season.

And our Panda restaurant review takes us to Macau’s very own Michelin star Indian restaurant Golden Peacock at the Venetian.

After 12 difficult months for gaming in Macau, May 27 2015 signalled a new beginning with the opening of two new properties in Cotai – Galaxy Phase II and its sister property Galaxy Macau. The first of eight casinos due to open by the end of 2017, it is hoped that Galaxy II and Broadway will spark a resurgence while fulfilling the Macau government’s wish to provide far greater diversity in the shape of non-gaming attractions.

In this issue of WGM we take a close look at these two properties including their exciting new hotel, F&B and retail offerings and how they fit into the current Macau landscape.

We also sit down with President and CEO of the American Gaming Association, Mr Geoff Freeman, to talk all things gaming in the United States and further abroad including legislation currently impacting the American gaming scene and the lessons Macau can learn from the contrasting fortunes of Las Vegas and Atlantic City.

Sports fans are in for a treat as we take an in-depth look at the impressive resurgence of Italian football – led by Champions League finalists Juventus. We also delve into the future of golf with a riveting feature on young guns Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth.

Our resident poker guru sits down for a chat with 2006 WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star champion and Vietnamese icon Nam Le at APT Vietnam to discuss his highly successful career. And The Panda enjoys an amazing feed at Macau’s Michelin star Jade Dragon restaurant at City of Dreams.

Macau may still be the hub of gaming in Asia but with the Chinese government’s anti-corruption crackdown ramping up and visa restrictions being tightened, many players are starting to look for other nearby alternatives such as the Philippines or Singapore.

Among the latest to join the queue is Vietnam where The Grand Ho Tram Strip, about a two hour drive from Ho Chi Minh City, presents a compelling case as one of the finest integrated resorts we’ve seen. In this issue of WGM we take an in-depth look at Ho Tram where we discovered not only a luxurious 5-star hotel and casino but a world class 18-hole golf course designed by none other than Greg Norman – all set right alongside a pristine two kilometre beach! We also sit down for a lengthy chat with President Shaun McCamley about the work he has done to fine tune the property’s gaming offerings since taking over the top job in October as well as some exciting new developments to come in the near future.

WGM recently announced the winner of our popular Model Search competition and this issue we feature a special 10-page photo shoot with Kooky and chat to her about her journey from Manila to Macau model! We also speak with Aristocrat’s new Managing Director Asia-Pacific Vincent Kelly as the region’s biggest slot machine supplier prepare for a huge few years ahead.

In sport, we delve into the complex world of football in China following the national side’s impressive performance at the recent Asian Cup in Australia and celebrate the nation’s growing stature on the world stage with a feature on snooker star Ding Junhui and badminton’s Chen Long who both reached number one in the world in December.

And our Panda restaurant review takes us to Hotel Okura at Galaxy where Japanese fine dining restaurant Yamazato impressed us with an exquisite lunch.

2015 signals the dawn of a new era for the team at WGM. Having celebrated our fifth anniversary in Macau since launching in late 2009, we welcome the New Year with our biggest ever issue at a whopping 136 pages! We have also made a number of changes to the look and feel of our magazine with a brand new logo plus a new, high quality matt finish and shiny gold stamping on our front cover! It’s certainly an exciting way to kick off 2015. Our cover story this issue reflects WGM’s growing reputation in Macau as we are granted a rare opportunity to speak with the usually media-shy boss of Macau’s biggest junket group in Suncity, Alvin Chau. Mr Chau speaks openly about his company, the changes they have gone through over the years, their ambitions for the future and why his staff love working for him. There is plenty for poker fans to enjoy in this issue too with an extensive interview with veteran player and renowned World Poker Tour commentator Mike Sexton, as well as comprehensive reviews of the WSOP’s November Nine, WPT National Philippines and of course Macau’s Asia Championship of Poker. In sport, we take an in-depth look at the upcoming cricket World Cup in Australia and prove our insights into betting on this huge global sporting event, while our football guru Leanne Lu explores the growing influence of technology in world football. And we take a closer look at the finer points of Macau as we review Michelin-starred French restaurant The Tasting Room at City of Dreams, announce the winner of our Model Search II competition and bring you all the celebrity goes in our regular Out and About in Macau section.
