GAMBLING CONCESSIONS PROFITABLE
IN MACAO
Evidence that gambling conces alons are profitable business in Macao is shown in the increased royalties offered for the franchise to operate fan-tan in the Portu- guese Colony.
The franchise, at present held by Mr. Fu Tak Iam in the name of the Tal Hing Company, was further renewed this week for a period of three years at an annual royalty of $1,900,000, compared with
$1,820,000 as paid at present.
The same party also recently obtained the right to operate po- piu lotteries in Macao:
Tenders for both franchises were many, and included many re- ceived from well-known Hongkong business men..
