Asia Entertainment & Resources Ltd. (“AERL”) (NASDAQ: AERL), which operates through its subsidiaries and related promoter companies as a VIP room gaming promoter, will be closing its VIP operation at the MGM Macau.
Following a mutual agreement by AERL and MGM Macau, the Company will discontinue its business within MGM Macau on June 15, 2011. The MGM VIP room is on a win/loss sharing remuneration method and accounts for only a small percentage of AERL’s total monthly rolling chips turnover. The closure will eliminate the risk to the earnings volatility associated with the win/loss sharing compensation model, and will enable the company to better allocate resources – both human and cage capital – to its three fixed-rate commission VIP rooms.
“We have enjoyed a very successful relationship with MGM Macau and are grateful for its support over the past several years,” said AERL Chairman Lam. “However, we have decided to cease our cooperation because our businesses are moving in different directions. We are open to and look forward to working with MGM Macau in the future.”
