		Stanley Ho, who has enjoyed a monopoly on Macau's gaming industry for more than 35 years, may soon find himself facing the greatest odds of his career.
		Ho's gambling monopoly in the region, which he won in 1961, is set to expire in 2001 and his friend Edmund Ho, who will become the enclave's first chief executive on December 20, hasn't said if that license will be renewed.

	Las Vegas gaming operators to tap into a huge market in Macau (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Stanley Ho has been dogged for decades by allegations that his gambling parlors do business with triads, which are known to launder money, loan shark, sell drugs and pimp prostitutes through the Macau casinos.
		Pansy Ho, the oldest of his 17 children, is the heir apparent to her father's empire, which accounts for two-thirds of Macau's tax revenue through its holdings in hotels, real estate, a ferry route, its largest department store, a local airline, a racetrack and, of course, the casinos.
		But MGM and Pansy Ho may have to prove she is a businesswoman in her own right who has invested her own money into the deal and operates her business ventures separately from her father, said Mickey Brown, a former state gaming enforcement chief.

	Ho, MGM Mirage Deal Should Pass Regulators

		Ho continues to hold a tight grip on the high-roller action of Macau, but some critics say his casinos allow interaction with organized crime figures -- an allegation boosters of the region say is part of Macau's notorious past.
		Ho held a 40-year monopoly on gaming in Macau, but that changed in 1999 when the city became a special administrative region that, like Hong Kong, was turned over to Chinese control.

		Ho, a youthful 44 year-old (and no relation to gaming czar, Stanley Ho), is recognized as a respected friend of the business community and a staunch advocate of law and order in Macau.
		Like Stanley Ho, the chief executive has gone on record stating "that it is wrong to solely blame Macau's gaming industry for the territory's public security problems." Some business leaders have called for a breakup of the STDM monopoly while others oppose replacing a system that has served Macau's economy extremely well.
		Stanley Ho was awarded this franchise in 1962 and has kept his promise to make significant investments in Macau's future.

		Stanley Ho, the billionaire who lost his four-decade Macau gaming monopoly in 2002, hasn't let new competitors such as Las Vegas Sands Corp. shake his dominance of a gambling market forecast to match Las Vegas's by 2008.
		Ho, 83, is staying ahead because of his lock on Macau's so-called VIP market, which consists of about 4,000 gamblers -- mostly from mainland China -- who bet an average $1 million per visit, Neves said.
		Ho faces a new wave of competition from casino and hotel operators targeting a broader clientele as Macau, a former Portuguese enclave and the only place in China where casinos are legal, opens its gaming market.
