Macau casino operator Galaxy Entertainment Group (GEG) has rolled out a new high-roller area in its flagship Galaxy Macau property.

On Wednesday, GEG announced the debut of JinMen8, its new VIP gaming club at the top of the Ritz-Carlton hotel at Galaxy Macau. The opening has been three years in the making and the company claims to have spent MOP300m (US$37m) making sure there was exactly the right amount of gold leaf, marble and Ming vases lying about.

Over 200 GEG staff have been allocated to attend to the whims and needs of JinMen8 guests, including an “exclusively appointed Executive Chef,” who has no doubt spent the past three years force-feeding Beluga caviar to ducks and geese to create an even more expensive version of foie gras.

The new VIP area encompasses a main floor featuring 18 gaming tables at which the merely semi-rich can feel free to get their gamble on (maximum betting limit at these tables – HK$1.5m, around US$186k).
