Hainan development is interesting but limited in scope. It's primarily focused on integrated resorts similar to Singapore's model rather than pure casino operations. China's aproach remains highly controlled - gambling is permitted only in specific administrative regions (Macau, limited operations in Hainan) while remaining strictly prohibited on the mainland. However, this growth occurs within Beijing's tolerance limits. Any return to the excessive VIP junket operations or money laundering activities that characterized the pre2015 era would likely trigger new regulatory restrictions. Chinese government views Macau''s gambling industry as acceptable provided it remains contained, generates tax revenue, and doesn't facilitate corruption or capital flight from the mainland.
