The Macau government secretary in charge of the city’s casino industry stressed in Thursday comments that Macau would “observe” mainland China law as a “must”.
Lei Wai Nong (pictured), Secretary for Economy and Finance, made the remarks on the sidelines of an event at the Wynn Macau casino resort.
His response came after the official was asked about China’s recently-approved new criminal penalties for the organising of mainland Chinese for the purpose of “overseas” gambling. They take effect on March 1, and could cover anyone organising trips for gambling in Macau – such as via junkets – as well as trips to foreign countries, a scholar and a lawyer have previously told GGRAsia.
