Half of Macau dealers are reluctant to work in VIP rooms



More than half of Macau casino workers do not want to work in VIP rooms where smoking is still allowed after Oct. 6, according to a survey sponsored by the Macau government.

According to results released Sunday, 58.4 percent of casino workers don't want to work in VIP rooms after full-scale anti-smoking has been implemented on the public market floor. However, media reports say 12.7 percent of those casino workers are willing to change their minds instead of receiving a special allowance.

The poll also concluded that 90 percent of dealers in the city support a blanket ban on public market smoking in Macau.

The measure was announced by the government earlier this month. It will take effect from October 6.

Under the government's proposal, all operators will be allowed to build smoking rooms on their large market floors, but there will be no game tables or slot machines inside. Theoretically, they will be similar to smoking rooms found at major airports.

Smoking areas inside VIP rooms will still be allowed, but under the current rules, they must not exceed half of the total area, as already stated.

The survey was conducted by the Commercial Game Lab of the University of Macau and commissioned by the Health Bureau. It was conducted on May 17, after a complete ban on smoking in the public market was announced. A total of 1,031 gaming sector workers, including Krupier and a cashier, were surveyed.

The survey also concluded that 29.8 percent of casino workers smoke. The rate is far above the average in Macau, which was 16.9 percent as of 2011.
