The Macao Gaming Show has received two key government endorsements, organizers said.
The Macau Gaming Equipment Manufacturers Association said the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau, the city’s casino regulator, DICJ, as it’s known, and The Macau Trade and Investment Promotion Institute have formally announced their support for the trade show, which will enter its second year on November 18-20 at The Venetian Macao.
MGEMA Chairman Jay Chun, who controls the market’s monopoly supplier of live dealer e-tables and operates two of its casinos, said the endorsements are an acknowledgement of the show’s efforts in supporting the diversification of the Macau economy and helping to raise the city’s international profile.
“The success of the gaming business in Macau is primarily due to the policy support by the governments of the People’s Republic of China and Macau SAR,” he said. “Once again, we are honored to have received the support of DICJ.”
MGS attracted 102 exhibitors and 8,000 visitors in its maiden year and expects to expand this year to more than 10,000 square meters of exhibit space.
