(Macau).- Macau casinos are already facing manpower shortages and the situation may get worse from next year, as the government will increase the cap on the number of live gaming tables, warns João Bosco Cheang Hong Lok, President of the Macau Gaming Industry Employees Association.
Starting next year and until 2023, the government will limit the average annual growth in the number of live gaming tables to 3 percent.
“Next year, the number of gaming tables will increase by 3 percent. I believe many casinos will increase the number of their gaming tables and by then staff shortages in the gaming industry will be even tighter,” Mr Cheang said.
Mr Cheang also noted that starting November 1, all those below 21 years of age would be banned from working inside the city’s casinos.
