Two proposals, which would introduce <strong>low-cost and five-star<\/strong> hotel projects on the site, are being assessed by the <strong>Macau Government Tourism Office (MGTO)<\/strong>, according to Portuguese-language broadcaster <strong>TDM Canal Macau<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The redevelopment is expected to breathe new life into the property, which has been closed since <strong>2016<\/strong> due to a dispute between <strong>Suncity<\/strong> and table games operator <strong>AMAX<\/strong> <strong>Holdings<\/strong>, now <strong>Century Entertainment<\/strong>. AMAX accused the junket operator of attempting to seize control of the property through its subsidiary <strong>Victory Success<\/strong>. Macau courts ruled in favour of AMAX\u2019s Macau Empresa Hoteleira unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although local reports in <strong>2024<\/strong> suggested that the land might revert to government control, the project is now being driven by Victory Success, which shares a fiscal address with the Yoho Group. The company reportedly secured the property licence in <strong>2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike previous operations at Greek Mythology under <strong>SJM<\/strong>, the property will no longer feature a casino. Macau&#8217;s the new gaming law phased out satellite casinos by the end of last year.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"see-also-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label\">See also:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"related-article\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"related-article__thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/12\/1638455046Wynn-Resorts-CEO-remains-optimistic-about-Macau-gaming-law-changes-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"related-article__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label-strong\">See also:<\/span> <a href='https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/macau-ggr-rises-24-year-over-year-in-january'>Macau GGR rises 24% year-over-year in January<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The property has been closed since 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2395,"featured_media":777037408,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"The former Greek Mythology Casino in Macau, closed since 2016, is slated for redevelopment into a dual-brand hotel property featuring both budget and luxury accommodations.
