Inside Asian Gaming

2020 年 9月 IAG JAPAN 23 1999年に中国に返還されて以来、マカオは「一国二制度」の下、 中国の土壌で唯一ギャンブルが合法とされている場所です。 過去 20年間、二地域でのルールや法律の違い、そしてその結果生じる 曖昧さによって合法ギャンブルには多くのグレーゾーンがありまし た。現在のシステムを基にすると、マカオのギャンブル資金のデータ を収集しながら、資金の質に加えてカジノ及びVIPルームの資金源 に関して中国人ギャンブラーを監視する規則が必要だと思います。 この規制システムは、カジノまたはVIPルームを運営する認可を 受けた人または法人が、中国での法律に関してグレーゾーンへと 転落するのを回避できます。 It can also stop some people taking advantage of loopholes to make illogical deals offering huge amounts of credit to gamblers, or settling debts with gamblers through illegal means such as the forced sales of assets or share transfers on the mainland. The regulatory system is necessary to solve the numerous social problems created on the mainland due to the Macau gambling industry, and not make mainlanders feel like Macau casinos are mysterious and sinful abysses. AWS: Macau’s gaming industry has boomed in the past 20 years on the back of the flow of capital from the mainland to Macau, yet as you say the mainland has strict laws over capital outflow. What are the main problems which have surfaced in relation to this? AC: We need proper financing channels. In the past, most of the inflows of capital to Macau were done through illegal channels to support the development of the Macau gaming industry. Capital comes to Macau through illegal channels and we cannot deny that Macau’s legal gaming business benefits from this capital, so this topic is quite sensitive. On the one hand, mainland China supports Macau’s economy under “One Country, Two Systems.” Thanks to the support of the motherland through supporting the liberalization of the Macau gaming industry and the launch of the Individual Visit Scheme (IVS), the Macau gaming industry has soared. 巻頭特集
