DICJ to introduce electronic table game regulations in 2017

by Newsdesk

Mon 22 Aug 2016 at 04:57

The Director of Macau’s Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ), Paulo Martins Chan, says the gaming regulator will look to introduce new regulations for electronic table games (ETGs) in 2017.

Noting a 2015 Union Gaming report that suggested ETGs enabled Macau’s casino operators to sidestep the live dealer table cap, Mr Chan said, “We don’t agree with people that say there is limitless growth to the number of electronic table games. We do have regulations regarding those. We’ll be doing regulation – this is not in our work plan for this year, but next year.”

Mr Chan said the DICJ would wait until 2017 because it was currently busy drawing up amendments to casino entry rules for Macau residents – particularly for dealers.

Gross gaming revenue from live multi-game terminals – a version of live dealer games whereby players place bets on individual electronic terminals – rose 11.5% in 2016Q2 to MOP$562 million.
