Stanley Ho, who holds Macao government-granted monopoly since 1961, attempted his SJM to list in Hong Kong in 2006, which postponed by family members' lawsuit.
SJM has faced rising competition in local gambling business during recent years, with well-funded rivals such as Las Vegas Sands, Wynn Resorts, and Melco-PBL. The proceeds of IPO may adds SJM competition.
Macau is the only Chinese city to offer licensed gambling.
