Yet even Chun has been challenged like never before by the events of 2020. Still, he continues to see benefit from the Live Multi-Game (LMG) terminals developed more than a decade ago by Paradise subsidiary LT Game – literally a game-changer for Macau’s casino operators given the cap on gaming tables imposed by the government. Those same terminals have proven particularly popular during COVID, with the GGR they have generated as a percentage of casino-wide revenue at Casino Kam Pek Paradise increasing from 38.8% to 55.4% during the first half of 2020. Still, there has been plenty of change in the air for Chun this year after Paradise opted to cease providing casino management services at Casino Waldo from 1 March 2020 – a decision it said “has proved itself to be the right move for our cost control program.” That leaves only Kam Pek under Paradise’s watch in the casino management space. Chun was also forced to cancel this year’s MGS Entertainment Show, usually held at The Venetian Macao each November, joining the myriad of trade events put on hold as a result of the virus. But Chun is nothing if not an innovator, so never fear – he’ll be back next year! 作為澳門賭權開放後 最早一批參與其中的人之一，陳捷可謂經歷過所有大風 大浪，可是連他也被2020年的一系列事件難倒。 然而陳捷繼續認為匯彩的子公司樂透遊戲在超過十年前開發的直播混 合遊戲終端機依然有利可圖。由於澳門政府對於賭枱數目的限制，這款產品為 澳門的娛樂場營運商實在有劃時代的意義。 而這些終端機亦在新冠疫情期間特別受歡迎，在2020年上半年於金碧 匯彩娛樂場中對博彩收入的貢獻從38.8%上升至55.4%。 可是，今年為陳捷而言還是變幻不斷，其中匯彩選擇於2020年3月1日起 不再向華都娛樂場提供娛樂場管理服務。該公司指這決定「本身已顯示出為我 們的開支節省計劃是正確的一步。」這令到金碧成為唯一由匯彩提供娛樂場管 理服務的地方。 另外，陳捷也被迫取消今年的澳門休閒娛樂展。該活動通常在每年11月 假澳門威尼斯人舉辦，但今年就與很多行業展會一樣由於新冠病毒而暫停 舉 行。 可是陳捷本身就以創新見稱，因此實在不需要擔心，他會在下年捲土重 來！
