Spread RFID Gaming Table Use Among Macau Ops

Additional Macau casino operators have flagged plans to use radio frequency identification (RFID) technology in their accommodations to monitor the game’s financial integrity. The latest were Melco Resorts & Entertainment and Galaxy Entertainment Group, according to comments on a conference call convened primarily by Melco Resorts & Entertainment and Galaxy Entertainment Group to discuss fourth-quarter and full-year 2023 earnings.

Typically, these RFID know-how are used to verify and monitor the use, location, and value of casino chips used in table games.

“Our RFID table will be out next month,” Lawrence Hoyu Leung, president and CEO of Melco Resorts, answered an analyst’s question during Melco Resorts’ fourth-quarter earnings release on Feb. 29.

Ho also mentioned the launch of RFID game tables: “…It’s going to be the process of being released. I think it’s the first time we get them. There’s going to be a learning curve. But I think we’re going to…We are pleased to take full advantage of the potential of this RFID table.”

Melco Resorts’ main operations in Macau are at its casino resorts, the City of Dreams and Studio City and the Cotai area, and the Altira Macau Casino Hotel in Taipei area. Ho did not clarify whether RFID technology would be used for the gaming business in the group-run City of Dreams Manila or in the Mediterranean region of Cyprus.

Ted Chan, Chief Financial Officer of Galaxy Entertainment, commented on plans for the release of RFID-enabled gaming technology when he called on Feb. 28 to discuss fourth-quarter earnings and the company’s outlook for the future trading period.

He said: “RFID will contribute a lot of improvements in the efficiency and efficiency of game floors, as well as the integrity of the floor. We are already starting the process, and we plan to launch all these technology-related initiatives sometime this year.” He said he was answering analysts’ questions when it came to ‘smart’ chips and RFID-enabled tables.

Galaxy Entertainment’s main gaming businesses are Galaxy Macao in Kotai and Starworld Hotel in downtown.

Since 2016, during the previous Macau gaming licensing period, MGM China Holdings Ltd., which runs MGM Macau on the city’s peninsula, and MGM Cotai, which is in the new casino area, have been recorded using RFID for table games. GGRAsia recently observed RFID-enabled tables being used in both MGM China properties.

GGRAsia approached Macau’s casino regulator, the Office for the Coordination of Game Inspection (DICJ), and asked all six Macau concessionees if they had asked them to use RFID to run game tables and if so, if they had an implementation schedule.
