Legal ban on migrant croupiers may hinder govt

Creating a law that bans migrants from working as casino croupiers might hamper the government, Secretary for Economy and Finance Francis Tam Pak Yuen said yesterday.

Mr Tam said enshrining the ban in law would “regulate not enterprises but the actions of the government”.

“There are some tricky points and we will consider the matter based on legal reasoning,” he said.

Dealers want a law that would protect their jobs and ensure that only residents can be croupiers.

There is no law preventing people with work permits from being employed on gaming floors but the government uniformly rejects these requests for permits.
