I hope NOT!!
On a customer/Chinese supplier relationship, it is actually de-rigeur that the supplier pays the bill to "entertain" the customer. In fact, they will usually have at least one guy or even a team whose main job it is to go out and entertain clients.
If it is expected that Petay pays the bill, then I'd suggest Petay NOT go with them; these kind of things does get very expensive for anytime you have Chinese party goers out on the town "on the company's account" they go crazy spending!! This is quite apparent in places like Goodview at Dalang and Crown Prince in Huangjiang etc (close to CP) where locals and factory owners gets VIP treatment...and also spends like drunken sailors.
And as far as bringing along their own female employees to the KTV - yes if you want to have a quiet, boring and respectable night on the town - but definitely NO if it is your intention to have a GREAT wild night followed by everybody screwing up a storm afterwards! All depends on who's paying I suppose.

First thing first - you may want to post your post as a separate thread in the Monger's lounge as the subject seems interesting/probably deserving of an audience of ALL the 141 members i/o just those of us who enjoy it here on this thread.
Anyway, back to your question - must be that you guys must look flush with cash!!
Who I think you've met is probably a Chip boy; these are guys whose job it is to bring guys to the high-limits table and supply you with their chips on which they make a commission. And its not only an initial one-time transaction - you'll be "borrowing" and returning chips to them all night long as you win/lose at the table and thus this can be very lucrative for them. They usually attract gamblers from China - and with Chinese gamblers - alongside catering to their every whim (whether on or off the table i.e. food, drink and any and all entertainment - including girls) the chip boys also needs to provide "credit" to them i.e. the gambler only pays AFTER his sojourn in Macau.
As you can see, the chip boys really do take a great credit risk with Chinese gamblers - and if they can rope in guys like you - heck, they LOVE it! So yes, IMHO this guy's offer is quite genuine - but beware that because of the very nature of their job - you ARE dealing with quite an unsavory character - and you'd better be "worth his time!"
Just from the little I know about this
