Macau gaming regulators want casinos to focus more attention on slots and less on VIP baccarat.

On Wednesday, the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ) announced that it had conducted a series of meetings with internationally recognized slot machine certification firms, including Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) Asia and BMM Testlabs.

DICJ director Paulo Martins Chan (pictured) stated that the meetings were intended to bring regulators up to speed on the latest trends in slot machines.

Beijing and Macau have been pushing casino operators to diversify their offering to appeal to a broader swathe of society than the usual real estate magnates and corrupt public officials. The casinos have responded by adding more entertainment, retail and dining options but Chan wants this demographic shift to also occur on the casino floor.
