Macau is a place mixed international luxury casinos & hotels and Portuguese colony culture. Gambling is the main income for Macau. Before Transfer of sovereignty over Macau, the government-granted monopoly of gambling industry was owned by a Hong Kong and Macanese business magnate, Stanley Ho Hung Sun, for 40 years. We call him "The King of Gambling". After Transfer of sovereignty over Macau, the monopoly of gambling was opened. Many international casino & hotel developers were interested to the Macau gambling market. It become a challenge of local casino & hotel developers. It started a fight between local and foreign casino & hotel developers. Up to 2014, there were 35 casinos in Macau. 26 casinos were owned by local gambling companies and 9 casinos were foreign gambling companies.
