The casino industry in the Chinese territory of Macau is bracing for a proposed ban of casino employees entering the casinos outside work hours. The bill is estimated to affect the movement of 54,000 staff members, including 46,000 workers and 8,000 junket operator employees.

According to gaming expert Ricardo Chi Sen Siu, the bill could be flawed, as the technology to run facial ID on them would be less than 100 per cent accurate.

“Since it is almost impossible for an employer to detect where employees go after work, casinos may have to check IDs of the customers when they enter the gaming areas, but this may be quite time-consuming given the volume of customer flow in Macau today,” said Siu, who is an associate professor of Business Economics at the University of Macau.
