Inside Asian Gaming

IAG MAY 2021年5月 亞博匯 96 10 YEARS AGO that automated games could no longer offer different odds to the live games from which they originated. The ruling immediately caught the attention of the industry, with a representative of one leading supplier asking IAG at the time, “Does this ruling stop at Sic Bo, or could it be applied to other games such as video card games, baccarat and both video and automated roulette?” The answer, as we now know, is that the ruling did not stop at Sic Bo at all, and it is now understood by suppliers market-wide that the maximum odds offered on any automated table game must match those offered on the live version. It also remains one of the key reasons why the array of automated table games available on Macau’s casino floors is limited, given the challenges involved with getting new games approved. A history lesson for all! 鑑於新遊戲獲得批准所面臨的挑戰，這也是澳門娛樂場內提 供自動賭枱遊戲數量有限的關鍵因素之一。 歷史的經驗教訓值得銘記。
