Macau casino operator Galaxy Entertainment Group (GEG) has launched a new low-denomination slots area in its flagship Galaxy Macau property.

On Monday, Galaxy Macau opened its new Duo Fu Duo Cai World, a collection of 128 slot machines offering Scientific Games’ popular Duo Fu Duo Cai slots title. The machines offer the ability to play for stakes as low as HK 5¢ — about two-thirds of a US cent – or as ‘high’ as HK 50¢.

Raymond Yap, GEG’s director of international premium and mass market development, said the new low-cost slots offering was “targeted to meet the players’ demand of this kind of slot game” and he hoped it would become “the largest galore” collection of Duo Fu Duo Cai games in Macau.

Slots have generally been an afterthought in Macau, where baccarat rules supreme. But GEG’s electronic games handle – which includes slots and electronic table games – was up 52% in its most recent earnings report. Galaxy Macau currently boasts around 3,400 slots, nearly one-quarter of the total 14,300 slots available across Macau at the end of Q1.
