HONG KONG, Sept 30 (Reuters) – Malaysian group Genting has emerged as a strong contender to unseat an incumbent Macau casino operator for a new license, analysts and executives say, unleashing possibly the biggest shakeup in the world´s largest gambling hub in over two decades.

The Malaysian group’s multiple non-gaming investments in China, including a prominent ski resort that was used for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, are also likely to bolster its chances, analysts said.

If one of the incumbents lost their license it’s likely to send tremors throughout Macau´s gambling industry as the companies have collectively invested more than $50 billion in the past two decades, are tied closely to the economic fortunes of the former Portuguese colony and employ tens of thousands of people.

«It’s a really important game, but it’s a still just a baseball game,» Mikolas said.»The strike zone is the same. I’ve faced the Phillies before, their hitters are the same. Maybe they are a little more locked in. I’m more locked in because it’s the playoffs. Everything is kind of the same. It’s just a lot more important of a game.»

«Since being here, since `15, every year we’ve gotten better. I see it in spring training, in the clubhouse. Better guys, better talent, and I think we just had to make that last push, and I think we did that this year.»

«They have a strong chance to topple one of the incumbents…and Genting would have been encouraged to come in. With their background it makes a lot of sense,» said Ben Lee, founder of Macau gaming consultancy IGamiX.

Only six slots will be available for the seven applicants, Macau´s government has said, as Genting Malaysia goes head-to-head with the six concessionaires Sands China, Wynn Macau, Galaxy Entertainment, MGM China , Melco Resorts and SJM Holdings as their concessions expire at year-end.

It would cause «far too much disruption» if any of the six operators were replaced, said Terry Ng, an analyst at Daiwa in Hong Kong, although other industry watchers note the incumbents have left themselves vulnerable to an operator like Genting which lost out on a Macau licence in 2002.

A shortened license period of 10 years from 20 years is also not a problem, Song said, as the government would re-allocate facilities and resources to Genting if it won a license, so they «don´t actually need to build everything from the ground.» ($1 = 7.8498 Hong Kong dollars) (Reporting by Farah Master Editing by Shri Navaratnam)

Genting´s strong non-gaming track record, including operating two of the largest theme parks in southeast Asia, would be a big draw for Beijing which has been urging Macau to diversify away from gambling and attract foreign tourists.

Nola is 5-3 with a 2.69 ERA in nine career starts against the Cardinals. Albert Pujols (3-for-6, two doubles, two RBIs) and Corey Dickerson (5-for-14, homer, three RBIs) have hit well against him while Tommy Edman (0-for-11), poker pkv Paul Goldschmidt (3-for-20, eight strikeouts) and Nolan Arenado (3-for-15) have struggled.

Genting «can offer the Macau government whatever they expressly said they wanted,» versus the incumbents who have predominantly focused on Chinese VIPs, said Samuel Yin Shao Yang, an analyst at Maybank.
