Referring to Melco Resorts and Entertainment Ltd, the promoter of City of Dreams Macau and of Morpheus (pictured), the gaming bureau stated: “The Macau SAR government has granted approval to the respective gaming concessionaire to transfer 40 gaming tables (not including slot machines) from its other casino properties to Morpheus in 2018.” The news was confirmed in an email to GGRAsia on Thursday from the local casino regulator, the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau – a body also known as DICJ – in response to an enquiry from us. The government will consider next year whether to give it some fresh table allocation. Morpheus, a new US$1.1-billion hotel at the City of Dreams Macau casino resort, has not been allocated any new-to-market live-dealer tables by the Macau government for its official opening on Friday (June 15), or for the whole of the rest of this year.
