A plan to amend Macau’s Casino Law gets a big push from at least 11 local associations representing the interests of casino employees.

Macau Daily Times reported that the association threw its support on the revision of Law No. 10/2012 or “Regulating the Conditions of Entering, Working, and Gaming Casinos” after reaching a broad agreement on the proposed amendment with the government during their meeting last week.

A new provision banning gaming workers from taking part in any gaming related activities inside casinos during non-work hours is set to be included under the proposed amendment of Law No. 10/2012.

Saying that it would help lessen the risk of those workers becoming problem gamblers and would – in the long run – help maintain a healthy development of the gaming industry, the representatives of the associations gave the proposed law revision a thumbs-up.
