In an effort to better manage costs during the coronavirus-induced recession, Asian casino operator Win Macau Limited has reportedly announced that it will not renew the contracts of several unidentified senior managers. The Hong Kong-listed company has declared it will waive the extension of its "multiple maturity contracts" currently held by "overseas senior and senior executives." The source explained that the company recently posted a third-quarter loss of about $280.7 million, with related sales down 93.7% year-over-year to just over $67 million. Win Macau Limited, which is responsible for the Win Macau and Win Palace Kotai venues in Macau, reportedly said the decision to not renew was also part of a "long-term plan for succession and localization of management rights." This aspect is reportedly the local government's desire for all local casinos to begin prioritizing Indigenous candidates over their foreign-born rivals to fill future senior management positions. Earlier this year, the Macau government reportedly called on local casino operators to avoid massive layoffs in response to the coronavirus pandemic, although it said some high-level employees had voluntarily left as Melco Resorts and Entertainment Limited implemented cost-cutting measures to overcome the ongoing financial slump. The majority of Wynn Macau Limited, owned by Las Vegas-based Wynn Resorts Limited, reportedly announced that the two-star Golden Flower restaurant within the Wynn Macau property was "temporarily closed during the pandemic" and would only reopen "when visitor numbers become more normal." It also reportedly said that there are "still" a few "temporarily closed restaurants" but that they will be revived "in due course as business recovers."

Sheldon Adelson (pictured), chairman and CEO of Las Vegas Sands Corporation, a U.S. casino operator, reportedly died yesterday evening at the age of 87. LAS VEGAS REVIEW-Adelson died at his home in Malibu, California, four days after taking sick leave to continue his fight against non-Hodgkin lymphoma, according to a report in the Journal newspaper. Adelson, a Massachusetts-born casino magnate, is said to have battled blood cancer since 2019, and is survived by his wife Miriam, six children and 11 grandchildren. Born in August 1933 near Dorchester, Boston, Adelson reportedly showed an early talent for business after borrowing $200 from his uncle at age 12 to obtain a local license to sell newspapers on the streets. He then borrowed $10,000 four years later to start a vending machine business before leaving to attend New York City University. Although he did not graduate and then joined the military to serve in the Korean War, Adelson reportedly returned to business by establishing a toilet company in the 1960s. He later reportedly founded a company known as De-Ice-It that sells chemical sprays to remove ice from car windshields before engaging in a wide range of businesses including real estate, mortgage brokerage and financial services. During this time, Adelson made additional investments in several companies, including one that publishes magazines on computers. Seeing the opportunity, he collaborated with fellow businessmen Robert Livy and Richard Katzeff to launch the Computer Dealers Exhibition (COMDEX) in 1979, with 167 exhibitors and 3,904 attendees known as the event's first outing at the original MGM Grand.

KT Wiz's foreign ace William Cuevas has won 10 consecutive games this season. Cuevas led his team to a 4-1 victory in an away game against the KIA Tigers at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on the 23rd, scoring one hit, three walks, and one run in eight ⅓ innings. He almost achieved his 15th no-hitter of all time with 10 wins and no losses. I was two steps ahead of the milestone. Until the bottom of the ninth inning, he allowed only two walks and one hit by a pitch, and did not get any hits. After one out, he hit a triple by Kim Do-young, followed by a walk to Kim Sun-bin, then handed over the mound to closer Kim Jae-yoon and came down. Cuevas, who won 10 games, ranked first in winning percentage with a 100% winning rate. Only Oh Bong-ok of the Samsung Lions (13 seungmu losses) and Kim Hyun-wook (10 seungmu losses) of the Samsung Lions in 2002 ranked first in the history of 100 percent. If Cuevas does not lose until the end of the season, he will become the first foreign 100% winning percentage king. Cuevas also became the sixth foreign pitcher to win more than 10 games as a substitute. Previously, five players, including Galves (10 wins) of Samsung in 2001, Elvira (13 wins) of Samsung in 2002, Lotte Oxpring (13 wins) in 2013, Sosa (10 wins) of Nexen in 2014, and Brigham (10 wins) of Nexen in 2017, won double-digit wins as replacement players.

Completely eliminated the aftereffects of winning consecutive games, chasing after 3rd place! Baseball proved "pitcher play." Since early July, the Doosan Bears have won 11 consecutive games, including the All-Star break. The multiplier accumulated steeply, and began to look beyond third place to second place. However, he has lost five consecutive games twice since then, and has not enjoyed the victory effect he has accumulated in a month. Entering September, Doosan faced an upward trend once again. He won seven consecutive games, met the league's best ace, Eric Peddy, and lost 1-2 before running three consecutive games again. The anxiety about the 'after-effects of winning consecutive games' has already been erased. Until the 23rd, 9 wins and 1 loss in the last 10 games. He is in fourth place, but is 1.5 games behind the third-place NC Dinos. He is now aiming for a last-minute turnaround with a 3.5 game gap against second-place KT Wiz. "I don't remember the fifth consecutive loss," Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said with a smile. "I lost 1-2 against Peddy last Tuesday (19th), but I think he gave the feeling that the opponent could not relax as he followed until the end." In addition, there were few hits in the match against Samsung on the 22nd, but they won with a good defense and a scoring hit when important. In that regard, I think it was a different power from the early and mid-season." The biggest secret to Doosan's rise is the mound. He ranked first in the same period with an ERA of 2.20 over 10 games. Three starters, consisting of Raul Alcantara, Brandon Waddell, and Kwak Bin, were solid, and the fourth and fifth starting resources, including Choi Seung-yong (0.96 ERA in two games) and Jang Won-jun (1 ERA 3.00), were also good.
