The company posted a net loss of HK$68.3m (US$8.8m) for the six months ended June 30, compared with HK$244.4m (US$31.3m) in the same period last year. <strong>Consolidated revenue<\/strong> rose 17.8 per cent year-on-year to HK$483.5m (US$62m).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Gaming revenue<\/strong> increased 14.6 per cent to HK$71m (US$9.1m). Shin Hwa World attributed the increase to higher non-rolling volumes.
