No Movement on Macau Casino Worker Ban

Macau’s Social Welfare Bureau wants more time to consider a request by the local regulator to ban casino workers in the city from entering or playing in casinos during their free time.

Macau’s Social Welfare Bureau is undecided about a request from the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau to keep local casino workers from entering or playing in casinos when they are off the clock.

Hon Wai, deputy director of the SWB, says the bureau agrees that such a ban would lower the risk of gambling addictions among casino workers. Officials have agreed to collect more opinions from within the industry before setting “the aim and direction” of the legal amendment, according to a press release cited in GGRAsia.
