The government of Macau introduced Friday a piece of legislation that calls for banning casino workers from entering gaming facilities beyond working hours. The measure aims to curb problem gambling among those employed at the city’s gambling venues.
Aside from table games dealers and workers tending to slot machines across casinos, people less directly involved with the actual gaming operations will, too, be barred from visiting gaming floors outside work hours, under the newly proposed legislation.
Maintenance and security staff, employees at public relations areas, food and beverage staff, as well as workers at cashier’s offices will all not be admitted to any gaming floors outside their designated working hours.
Workers who breach the rules will thus be fined between MOP1,000 and MOP10,000, depending on the scope of their violations. READ SO: MACAU: WORLD CUP WOULD BE NOTHING MORE THAN A TRANSITORY IMPACT
However, the legislation stills need to be voted to enter in force.
