Nothing is public. I guess PS still want to come back, but the treatment of poker at the moment in Macau is quite poor as you can see in this thread. Its all about short time money.
There are two openings.
1. The authorities exclude poker from the table cap.
2. Beijing clean up the VIP rooms which would lead to more room for mass market tables where poker belongs.
I guess 1 is more likely than 2 in the short term.
The cost for Pokerstars is big to get tables in a large property like Galaxy, Venetian, City of Dreams, Cotai Central, MGM - unlike for example the old place at Grand Waldo (Grand Waldo, which actually have lot of space at the moment, but in a bad location - but better now after Galaxy did open).
