*Macau – 9 May 2017 –*  
Australian casino operator Crown Resorts has agreed to sell the remaining stake in its Macau venture for US$1.16 billion as the firm pursues a restructure amid a Chinese gambling crackdown.

1Mogul James Packer’s company will exit its holding in Melco Resorts by offloading a final 11.2 percent holding to joint-venture partner Melco International on May 15, the Australian-listed firm announced, Agence France-Presse reported.

“Crown Resorts will no longer hold an interest in Melco Resorts,” the company said in a statement.  
The sell-down will complete a Macau exit for Crown, which late last year also shelved plans for a Las Vegas casino to concentrate on its Australian luxury hotel and casino business.

Crown has suffered from weakening demand in Macau following a Chinese corruption crackdown.

The casino operator had 18 staff members detained in China last year accused of organising banned gambling activities overseas for wealthy Chinese.

It has embarked on a management shake-up to energise local operations amid ailing turnover from high rollers visiting Australia.

The sale late last year of 13.4 percent of Melco Resorts for US$1.6 billion helped boost second-half profits after the firm reported a large fall in turnover from foreign VIPs.

The proceeds from the remaining Macau stake, which after a swap agreement amounts to US$987 million, will be used to reduce debt, the gaming firm said.
