Macau\u2019s Labour Affairs Bureau (DSAL) has confirmed that no gaming operator is offering a \u201cvoluntary resignation\u201d scheme to employees of satellite casinos set to shut down by the end of the year. Instead, major concessionaires such as SJM, Melco, and Galaxy are redirecting affected staff to new roles within their respective operations, in line with compliance measures tied to Law 7\/2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The regulatory deadline demands that all satellite venues either operate under direct casino licenses or close by December 31, 2025. That transition affects at least eleven satellite casinos and three Mocha Clubs under Melco, with an estimated 5,600 employees impacted. Of those, approximately 4,800 are directly employed by concessionaires, and the remaining by third-party satellite operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Authorities have taken a proactive stance, deploying 62 inspectors and hosting more than 50 information sessions to explain rights, offer career counseling, and facilitate job matching. Over 400 employees have already secured new placements within the industry, including positions at major integrated resorts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This labor reassignment effort follows a pattern observed since early 2023. As reported anteriormente por Mundo Video, major operators like Melco responded to scrutiny with rapid internal recruitment efforts and job fairs to mitigate layoffs. That operational responsiveness is again visible as closures become imminent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, our coverage on satellite casinos\u2019 alignment with new legal frameworks revealed how these venues were preparing early for the shift. The current labor strategy confirms that groundwork paid off: there has been no rise in unemployment, and staffing continuity remains largely preserved. While headlines often focus on the closures, the real story lies in how Macau\u2019s gaming ecosystem is handling disruption: through lawful restructuring, timely transparency, and internal loyalty to workers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
