Macau grants 15 new tables, 91 slot machines to Legend Palace

Hotel and casino operator Macau Legend Development has secured 15 extra gaming tables for its property at Macau Fisherman’s Wharf.

Secretary for Economy and Finance Lionel Leong Vai Tac confirmed on Wednesday that the government is awarding 15 new-to-market gaming tables as well as 91 slot machines to the Legend Palace Hotel, GGRAsia reported. The gaming tables are to be earmarked for mass play.

In an interview with Macau-based reporters, Leong said SJM Holdings applied for the extra gaming tables on behalf of casino services company Macau Legend Development. Lacking its own casino concession, Macau Legend’s gaming facilities operate under a “service agreement” with Macau casino concessionaire SJM Holdings.

Leong said the government made the decision to award Legend Palace the new tables after “comprehensive consideration—including the factor of working towards the goal to help Macau develop as a world center of tourism and leisure.”
