Macau Business Daily – Japanese pachinko hall operator Dynam Japan Holdings Co Ltd said in a new Hong Kong filing it has ambitions to work with a partner to produce online gaming in Macau, provided that such games comply with all applicable laws and regulations of Macau”.

A Macau bylaw gazetted in November 2012 foresaw the possibility of mobile gaming inside some of the city’s bricks and mortar gambling premises.
The particular bylaw was mainly concerned with conventional slot machines and slot parlors. It also mentioned the possibility of mobile gambling using wireless networks, but “only inside gambling areas especially authorized” by the city’s regulator, the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau.

In the past preparatory work has even taken place with the goal of regulating Macau as a global jurisdiction for cross-border online gambling. It was abandoned.
So far the local monopoly for non-racing sports betting (including an online portal) of Macauslot – Sociedade de Lotarias e Apostas Mútuas de Macau Lda, a firm founded by former casino monopolist Stanley Ho Hung Sun – has not been challenged in Macau.

Business Daily asked Dynam Japan Holdings for more information on its latest regulatory filing referring to online gaming in Macau, but none was available by press time.
