Macau's gambling market could possibly face a fundamental realignment as the local government aims to move closer to legalizing the use of China's digital yuan in casinos.
On Tuesday April 14, Macau's Chief Executive Ho Iat Seng told the Legislative Assembly of plans to "study the feasibility of issuing a digital currency." The government of China's "special administrative region" wishes to boo[...] Read more » Macau Moves Closer to Legalizing Digital Yuan Use in Casinos

so as I see from this text,only thing is to see is this something that they want to make everything faster and to help players and casinos or they want to track money and to see who and how much change it it their currency!?for sure you lose time when you come with chinese currency and then to convert in hk dollar or macau patacas,so if this will help gamblers and whole industry,then great,but something more is maybe behind this!

The digital yuan is on the move. The People's Bank of China is beginning to distribute this digital currency in several cities in small quantities, that also in casinos, thus becoming the first major central bank to distribute a public digital currency. The impact of this type of money on the economy is unknown, but the studies carried out so far speak of multiple benefits and threats. Kenneth Roggoff Says: "The People's Bank of China is way ahead of other major central banks in developing its public digital currency"
Unlike most digital currencies, the digital yuan lets the People's Bank of China to trace all transactions back to its individual users...
So this is why they push the legislation about this for real. It has nothing to do with stopping money laundering rather they just wan to build a profile about you for 'other purposes'.

They are right, they not only want to avoid money laundering, but there are other deeper things to investigate, as the studies carried out say that they say that the digital currency will have its benefits and its threats, you have to be attentive to that.

we digitize everything and when something in space will destroy or it breaks certain things, there will be general chaos. Another security method is needed for people to use those cards. Hand receipts with stamp and some dates will be good for all, when machines break down.

The creation of digital yuan has its advantages since it will help many in matters of taxes and money laundering, Unlike most digital currencies, the digital yuan allows to track all transactions, which reduces the chances that the currency is used for illegal purposes.

Every digital transaction is trackable no matter with what kind of currency you use the difference is cryptocurrencies are allowing you to remain anonymus while the digital yuan won't. Hence why they are pushing for it so much.

there is the problem, I think that just as the cryptocurrencies that remain anonymous should be the digital yuan, they cannot expose privacy to the air, for that part it has its disadvantage, hopefully the country becomes aware of making a change that benefits the society and don't make it worse.

it's a good idea because they will win. Digital or not there are certain things, that let you to play in the casinos, even if momentary damage may occur and the card does not work. This is not a problem, but they must have limits when peoples playing.

it is a good choice that can bring them satisfaction as long as people have received this solution to play like that. Always wise decisions matter and both parties will be happy. Legalizing this method will bring other clients and that is a good thing.

things are not going well in Macao, because about half of those who intended to visit China during the Golden Week holiday have already canceled their travels. Two security guards working at a quarantine hotel tested positive for COVID-19. That was not good and the losses are great for casinos because they did not have many customers.

it is complicated with these digital currencies if they are used with a technology that will affect humans. They need to be completely safe, because this currency is gaining influence and people need to have ways to handle it easily without electronic problems or things like that. The idea is good because people will play with anything in hopes of winning.

it is ugly with these restrictions. They want to divide us by vaccinated and unvaccinated, then by that green certificate. In Romania, Kaufland stores have placed deco fences to give the impression of Auschwitz and it is not good at all. People have started to avoid their shops and everything is announced very badly ... Same with travel to many countries. Here i think it's the same with some restrictions

I'm curious how far these abuses go and with armies that force or talk to people to get vaccinated. I believe that Macau is safe now and there is no need for any restrictions and other aberrations, because it's time for the lies to end

I am sure that many Asians have digital money and this option introduced a few years ago will make many of them play with pleasure without having to convert. This becomes normal and can simplify the time of some players without having to walk to change and then deposit. Now the deposit goes right and it's good.
