Estate of Yip Hon (1904-1997). Nicknamed Kwai Wong (translated as Ghost King), Yip Hon was a gambling tycoon in South China. He amassed great wealth in the casinos there through his technique of listening dice, eventually opening his own casino.

Yip Hon (葉漢, 1904-1997)私人遺產。葉漢,中國廣東省新會縣江門鎮紫坭鄉人,港澳著名企業家,一生與賭博結下不解之緣,有「鬼王葉」、「賭聖」之稱。1961年與何鴻燊、霍英東、葉德利等人成功投得澳門博彩業專營權,其後成立澳門賽馬車會、經營東方公主號賭船等,堪稱為澳門的一代賭王。
