Hong Kong-listed casino equipment maker Paradise Entertainment Ltd has appointed Eric Ho King Fung as an independent non-executive director and a member of the company’s audit committee, with effect from June 12.
The appointment was announced in a filing to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on Friday. Mr Ho, 49, has a background spanning investment banking, capital markets and legal practice. He previously worked at JP Morgan and law firm Linklaters.
He also worked at Deutsche Bank AG’s Hong Kong branch, where he served as head of Hong Kong and Macau origination, overseeing the structuring and launching of new financial securities.
According to the filing, Mr Ho is currently honorary consul of Cabo Verde in Macau, president of the Money Exchangers Association of Macao, and chairman of P&W Money Changer Ltd.
Mr Ho formerly served as executive director and chairman of Hong Kong-listed Apollo Future Mobility Group Ltd, and since May this year has been an independent non-executive director of Hong Kong-listed Prosperous Industrial (Holdings) Ltd.
Paradise Entertainment said Mr Ho will receive an annual director’s fee of HKD120,000 (US$15,315).
Paradise Entertainment Ltd reported a profit of HKD139.4 million for full-year 2025, down 63.5 percent from the prior year.
The company said in March that nearly 93.7 percent, or HKD130.6 million, of its 2025 profit was generated by the operation of Casino Kam Pek Paradise in downtown Macau, a business segment now classified as a “discontinued operation”.
Paradise Entertainment is the parent of electronic table games (ETGs) supplier LT Game Ltd. The casino technology firm has said that it aims to strengthen its presence in its home market of Macau and expand its reach overseas with its latest slot and ETG products.
