Macau has been forced to close all casinos for the first time since the outbreak of the pandemic. 19000 people have been put under quarantine. The government is looking to diversify the tourism offers for Macau. There are only six casinos in town. The Tourism Board is encouraging tourism operators to invest in non-gaming projects. Since 2002 there have 41 casinos built on the Taipa Strip. MGM, Sands and Wynn who operate casinos on Nevada have to change their game offerings or their concessions may be revoked. They are under pressure from other developments and casinos from Malaysia and Cambodia.
