Our subsidiary Melco Crown Gaming is one of six companies licensed, through Concessions or Subconcessions, to operate casinos in Macau. We were incorporated in 2004 as a joint venture between Melco and PBL (whose gaming businesses and investments were acquired by Crown in 2007 as part of the demerger of PBL’s media and gaming businesses). We currently operate two major casino based operations, namely, City of Dreams and Altira Macau, and non-casino based operations at our Mocha Clubs. Our operations cater to a broad spectrum of gaming patrons, from high-stakes rolling chip gaming patrons to gaming patrons seeking a broader entertainment experience. We seek to attract patrons from throughout Asia and in particular from Greater China. We focus on the Macau gaming market, which we believe will continue to be one of the largest gaming destinations in the world. In 2008, 2009 and 2010, Macau generated gaming revenue of approximately US$13.6 billion, US$14.9 billion and US$23.5 billion, respectively, according to the DICJ; for the same periods, the Las Vegas Strip generated gaming revenue (excluding sports book and race book) of US$6.0 billion, US$5.5 billion and US$5.7 billion, respectively, according to the Nevada Gaming Control Board. Macau benefits from its proximity to one of the world’s largest pools of existing and potential gaming patrons and is currently the only market in Greater China, and one of only several in Asia, to offer legalized casino gaming.
