Casinos legal soon on China's Hainan Island?

Long touted as a place where China could liberalise casino gambling, the balmy island off the country's southern coast has attracted scores of international developers in the past two years, including InterContinental, Starwood, and casino operators MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment .

Casino gambling is illegal in China outside of the former Portuguese colony Macau, an hour's flight from Hainan by plane. Earlier this year, the local government shut down a casino bar that had been operating illegally in Hainan after a Reuters report drew attention to it. The bar has reopened now, according to a hotel employee.
