(Macau).- Slot machine parlours will be removed from residential districts before the next government takes office, in December 2014, according to Business Daily. The report cites quotations that the Secretary for Economy and Finance, Francis Tam Pak Yuen, gave to Chinese-language newspaper Va Kio.
There are only two slot machine parlours in residential areas: the SJM Yat Yuen Canidrome Slot Lounge in Fai Chi Kei and Mocha Marina Plaza parlour in Rua de Pequim.
Meanwhile, Tam also said that the fact that Wynn Macau received approval for its Cotai project does not mean gaming will totally shift away from the peninsula, even though there is evidence, he says, that the gaming industry is gradually moving to Cotai.
