The government of Macau is now looking into reports that Galaxy Macau casino resort have violated the special administrative region’s smoking ban.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Macau’s Health Bureau has confirmed that that they are verifying claims of the alleged absence of “no-smoking signs in a no-smoking zone” in the gaming area of Galaxy Macau.
A room called “Horizon VIP Room” is the main subject of their investigation after receiving numerous complaints that such portion in Galaxy Macau is swarmed by smoking casino patrons despite being considered as a no-smoking zone.
Horizon VIP room used to be junket-run, meaning players brought by junkets under the local industry’s rolling chip programs play in this section. In 2015, Galaxy Macau operated by Galaxy Entertainment Group Ltd., said it has turned Horizon VIP Room into a facility for premium mass table games cash play from a junket-run VIP room.
