Macau government green lights MGM Cotai table allocations

Macau’s Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ) has approved the allocation of more than 100 new-to-market live dealer gaming tables to MGM Cotai, just in time for the scheduled grand opening of the facility next month.

Secretary for Economy and Finance Lionel Leong Vai Tac announced on Wednesday that MGM Cotai will get 100 new gaming tables this year and an additional 25 tables next year, according to The Macau Daily Post.

Tac said MGM China will move 77 tables from MGM Macau to the new gambling site in Cotai. The DICJ also allowed the installation of some 900 slot machines at the company’s Cotai resort.

The number of allocated gaming tables, however, was lower than the analysts’ expectations of 150 tables.
