Macau casino operator Sands China Ltd. (1928.HK) said Tuesday it would pay 58 Hong Kong cents per share as its first-ever dividend.

The Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS) unit, which listed in Hong Kong in November 2009, said the interim dividend would be payable to those who own shares in the company as of Feb. 20.

Stanley Ho's SJM Holdings Ltd. (0880.HK) and Wynn Resorts Ltd. (WYNN) unit Wynn Macau Ltd. (1128.HK) are the only other of Macau's six operators to have paid dividends.
