KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) – A Malaysian judge on Friday ruled in favor of Wynn Macau (1128. HK) in a case against a fund manager who owed the casino millions of dollars, the company’s lawyer said, the first time a casino has been allowed to recover dues in the country.
Wagering or gaming contracts are not recognized in Malaysia, which means casinos do not have legal recourse for the gambling dues owed to them by its clients.
