Grand Waldo Casino Introduces Two New Exclusive Games to Macau
Rapid Sic Bo and Rapid Roulette Set to bring new era to the gaming world
11 Jun 2006
Galaxy Entertainment Group Limited (’Galaxy’) (Stock Exchange Code: 27) has introduced two new Rapid Table Games® products to Macau, Rapid Sic Bo and Rapid Roulette at the Grand Waldo Casino. They are destined to trigger a new sensation in the Macau gaming world.
Galaxy has introduced Rapid Sic Bo and Rapid Roulette, each with 20 betting stations, at the Grand Waldo Casino. Based on the orthodox games, the green felt table has been replaced with automated player terminals so that customers and guests can now enjoy the game in comfort in front of their own individual on-screen layout. The basics and rules of the games do not change, the traditional Roulette wheel and Sic Bo dice shaker are still used and,the dealer still calls the winner. With the new technology, customers only have to enter their bets on screen after inserting cash in the bill acceptor. When a customer desires to leave the game , they can simply press the “Cash Out” display on the screen and a staff then will exchange the customer’s gaming credits for cash. This will allow guests a higher level of privacy, and enjoying the rush of adrenaline simultaneously in the comfort of their own seats.
As the games are now semi-automated, instant pay-outs and a much faster game-cycle is possible, accompanying it are plenty of visual and sound effects.
Contrary to requiring three staff to handle a traditional Sic Bo or Roulette table, the new Rapid games only require two, improving efficiency and also leaves more time for the staff to interact with the players.
Mr. Francis Lui, Deputy Chairman of Galaxy, said: “Galaxy has proved once again its leadership in innovative gaming technology by being the first casino operator in Macau to introduce two new Rapid games. Our leadership has also increased following the introduction of the exclusive MPBacc™ Table Game Management System, the only system currently in existence providing total integration of real-time player data at all gaming tables simultaneously. Also recently introduced was the “Loco Loot” Slot Machine Hyperlink, the first and only system in Macau to offer a jackpot starting at HK$750,000. With its new technology developing at an unmatched pace, Galaxy will continue to introduce new gaming entertainment and other facilities in order to maintain a constant level of fresh interest for its customers.”
Grand Waldo Casino is located in the newly developed Tourism and Entertainment Hub at Cotai, where Galaxy is the first concessionnaire to have operated a major integrated leisure and entertainment center there. Grand Waldo Casino is the third casino opened by Galaxy this year. In addition to the new exclusive Rapid Sic Bo and Rapid Roulette, Grand Waldo Casino also provides a tempting range of games such as Baccarat, Blackjack, Fantan, Caribbean Stud Poker, Sic Bo, Three Pictures, Three Pictures Baccarat, Roulette, and many slot machines
