The Second Standing Committee of Macau’s Legislative Assembly (AL) continued its discussions on the amendment of the gaming law on Thursday and had its first meeting with government representatives, including the Secretary for Economy and Finance, Lei Wai Nong.

Speaking with reporters afterwards, Chan Chak Mo, President of the Second Standing Committee, said the SAR government was confident it can finish the definition and classification of “satellite casinos” – one of the key issues being discussed by the AL since publication of proposed gaming law amendments in January.

“The government stated that they had investigated and inspected the scale of all properties of the six current gaming operators during July to November last year,” Chan said. “The government believed that they could complete the classification of which satellite casinos would be the properties of the government in accordance with architectural drawings by the end of this year.”
