Melco to close Grand Dragon Casino along with three Mocha Clubs
Melco Resorts & Entertainment has made the move to close its Grand Dragon Casino along with three Mocha Clubs, namely Mocha Hotel Royal, Mocha Kuong Fat and Mocha Grand Dragon Hotel, all of which will cease operations before the end of 2025.
The operator made the decision to close its only satellite casino ‘after considering the company’s overall development strategy and in accordance with Macau law.’
The employees working at these venues will be assigned to work at other properties of the company in Macau, which will secure continued employment for these employees within their current job duties. Gaming tables and electronic gaming machines operating at the above-mentioned affected venues will also be re-allocated to, and continue operations at, other casinos or gaming areas of the Company in Macau.
In addition, the company will apply for the relevant authorizations and approvals from the Macau SAR government for three Mocha Clubs, namely Mocha Inner Harbour, Mocha Hotel Sintra and Mocha Golden Dragon, to continue operations after December 2025, subject to compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements.
The closure of Grand Dragon will leave ten satellite casinos operating in Macau, with nine operating via concessions with SJM Resorts and one each with Galaxy Entertainment Group.
