Speaking to reporters, the casino boss said the company would apply for more gaming tables from the MSAR government in the future, based on the business needs of the latest addition to its business portfolio.
The new casino-hotel, located in the company’s Macau Fisherman’s Wharf complex, has been granted 15 new-to-market mass gaming tables and 91 slot machines, the Secretary for Economy and Finance, Lionel Leong Vai Tac announced last week.
"It’s not about whether we are satisfied with [the number] or not,” said Mr. Chow as quoted by local broadcaster TDM. "But we hope the government will keep granting us new tables.”
"We had applied for 30 new tables, and the government gave us 15 after its calculations… We will co-ordinate with the government’s macro-policy and we will apply again if we find the number is not enough,” he said.
According to the city’s economy head, gaming operator SJM Holdings Ltd – the holder of the gaming licence that Macau Legend uses for its gaming business – will transfer 55 other mass and VIP gaming tables from its other properties to the new project.
Legend Palace is the second new hotel under
the company’s redevelopment plan for Macau Fisherman’s Wharf, following the
opening of the non-gaming Harbourview Hotel property in February 2015. The new
hotel will provide a total of 223 hotel rooms.
