The Government is considering introducing a general examination for croupiers, the Chief Executive, Mr Edmund Ho Hau Wah, said today. Mr Ho disclosed this when he visited the Lucky Gaming Training Centre, a government-subsidised school for casino workers, and said that this was a relatively good time to introduce a general examination for dealers. He said the Government had conducted thorough studies on this issue and would continue to collect opinion from concerned parties. The qualification examination would not only cover techniques, but also ethics, attitude and mentality, said the Secretary for Economy and Finance, Mr Francis Tam Pak Yuen, who also took part in the visit. Those who have passed the examination will be issued a certificate as recognition of their qualification, which will become a basic requirement for them to work in casinos in the future. Speaking on training of casino workers, Mr Ho said the industry is still hungry for labour and the Macao Polytechnic Institute, the Institute for Tourism Studies and the Lucky Gaming Training Centre would continue to provide trained croupiers. Mr Ho also called on casino workers, especially croupiers - positions that are open only to Macao citizens - to raise their standard and not to pick up bad habits.
