(Macau).- Macau’s first-ever locally-drafted technical standards for slot machines and electronic table games came into full effect on Monday. The main difference players will notice is that under the new standards, all games in the market must be available in Chinese.
The new rules were released by the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau and came into effect on February 10. Because of the need for reprogramming of some of the machines already on Macau gaming floors, manufacturers were given a grace period until the end of September to make their equipment compliant.
“The principal objectives of the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau with regard to gaming machines operating in the Macau market are to ensure that the games they offer are fair, that the machines are secure, have reliable functionality and are efficiently auditable,” the regulator says.
