Macau considers raising gambling age to 21

Authorities in the Asian gambling hotspot of Macau are debating whether to raise the legal gambling age from 18 to 21, which would put them on a par with the USA.

The change of law would not only have a great impact on players, but also on the many locals who take casino jobs after leaving high school.

Leader Edmund Ho suggested that if the plan were agreed on, a possible three year grace period would allow current 18 year old employees to keep their jobs.

Ho stated that it was important for the region to consider the social costs of gambling, and to protect young people. Recent figures show that croupiers are more at risk of becoming problem gamblers.

Lost revenue does not appear to be a concern for what is now the most profitable gambling resort worldwide.
