Macau’s race to become the world’s biggest gambling venue means it will require over 50,000 casinos within the next two years, it has been reported.

 

And in a sign of the advantages that the region’s booming casino industry has provided to the surrounding community, many residents are keen to apply for such opportunities.

 

Croupier jobs do not require significant educational or vocational skills yet offer considerable benefits, making it attractive to local residents, the Macau Post Daily has reported.

 

According to Chinese news agency Xinhua, there are currently 20,000 croupiers in the region’s 25 casinos, representing seven per cent of Macau’s total labour force.

 

The addition of a further 30,000 croupiers would see the profession represent as much as 17 per cent of the labour force, making Macau one of the world’s most casino-reliant regions.

 

This week Macau won an award for the most promising destination in Asia, highlighting its potential for future growth.
