Bloomberg is reporting Genting Singapore (GENS SP) has been attracting suitors, including MGM Resorts International (MGM US).
With Macau all-but emulating a Shanghai-style lockdown, including the recent shuttering of all casinos, large global casino operators will be looking to diversify their revenue base. 
But with Singapore potentially emerging as Asia's go-to gaming destination going forward, it's unlikely the Lim family will exit their Genting flagship.
