Guest speakers and members of the audience at yesterday’s Macau Forum were starkly divided over a government-proposed ban on off-duty gaming staff entering local casinos.
The weekly open-air debate is hosted by government-owned broadcaster TDM in Areia Preta Park every Sunday.
The Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ) launched a one-month public consultation period late last month on the proposed ban on off-duty gaming staff entering all local casinos, with the aim of reducing the risk of gaming staff becoming addicted to gambling. The public consultation will end on October 26.
The bureau proposes amendments to Law 10/2012 for the projected ban on off-duty gaming staff entering local casinos, according to the public consultation document.
