Las Vegas Sands said in a statement that the information about some patrons at its Bethlehem, Pa., hotel-casino was compromised during the Feb. 10 attack. It was unclear whether credit card information was also taken.

In its statement, Sands noted that the number of patron accounts that were compromised make up less than 1% of all visitors to the Bethlehem casino since its 2009 opening. The company did not provide the number of patron accounts at risk.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Travis Hoium]
MGM Resorts (NYSE: MGM ) doesn't have the flashy management that's made gaming companies famous, and CEO James Murren has taken a quieter role in the industry. But he has guided the company through the financial crisis and now has a huge growth opportunity on Cotai. But he isn't the only person investors need to watch.�

Moreover, corporations assisted taxpayers in achieving the same goal by making larger-than-usual dividend payments to their shareholders. Casino giant Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ: WYNN ) , warehouse-club retailer Costco (NASDAQ: COST ) , and hundreds of other companies declared special dividends that sent billions of dollars into investors' hands, much of which they had to count as taxable income. Moreover, many other companies decided to take dividends they had planned to pay in 2013 and make payments early instead. Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT ) paid its usual January dividend in December, while Oracle (NYSE: ORCL ) actually made three quarters' worth of dividend payments at the end of 2012.

In particular, founder-led businesses Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ: WYNN ) and Boyd Gaming (NYSE: BYD ) �reported a large number of such transactions in their 2013 proxies, including employment of relatives, employee use of company services, and employee use of company-owned property.

MGM has built a history of being the odd player out in many of the most lucrative opportunities in the gaming industry. In Macau, the company is stuck in the slower-growth area of the Asian gaming destination. In Las Vegas, the new CityCenter area in the mid-Strip has watered down MGM's opportunities and has created another potential barrier for patrons coming from the northern end of the Strip to its namesake MGM Grand property. And in New Jersey, where online gaming has boosted prospects for Caesars Entertainment (NASDAQ: CZR ) and Boyd Gaming (NYSE: BYD ) , MGM has no exposure.
