Secretary Tam refused to comment on whether the Macau government is preparing to implement a cap on slot-machines.

Mr. Tam also said that the government is finalizing a by-law to regulate slot machine parlours, including location, and that the government is keen on increasing the share of the mass market in the overall casino business.
