Sands China has reportedly ordered its slot machine employees to carry cash of HK0,000 (US,127) to pay off gamblers quickly. According to the Macau Business Daily, Choi Kam Fu, director-general of the Macau Gaming Enterprises Staff Association, has asked the government to prohibit the new requirement.
“The company primarily asked its supervisors in the slot machine areas to carry the cash,” added Lei Kuok Keong, vice director of the trade union Forefront of Macau Gaming. “From the company’s perspective, the policy makes work more efficient. But for workers, they are worried about the possible responsibilities of carrying cash; for example, whether they need to compensate the company if it is stolen or lost.”
