Macau redrafts gambling license proposal
The Macau government has submitted a revamped gambling license proposal to its legislators. It is significant since the concession to the gambling license holders will end when the existing casino licenses expire. Most of the licenses will expire soon.
Many players anticipate there to be automatic extensions given to the operators whose licenses expire first in an effort to gain time while the whole licensing scheme is hashed out by legislators. However, Macau lawmakers are planning to bring about full-fledged and complete legislation, possibly before the time for renewal. Lionel Leong Vai Tac, Macau’s Secretary for Economy and Finance, said over the weekend that a preliminary proposal on gaming law changes has already been introduced. This could go far in the preparation of the bidding process for existing concessions.
Leong told Macau-based reporters, “We’ve said before that the awarding of the gaming concession contracts [when the current ones expire] will have to be done via a bidding process, and the related law needs to be amended as well [in preparation for a new tender]. We are now having an internal study on it [the preliminary proposal].”
He didnot specify the details of the proposal, but stated that the government will “listen to social opinions and analyse them” throughout the rebid process. There are currently six licenses issued to operators in the gambling hub, and they all expire in either 2020 or in 2022. The first to expire will be those of MGM China and SJM Holdings.
According to law, the licenses can be extended up to five years past their original expiry dates. However, once the contract ends, any new concession can only be approved through a public tender. Because of this, gaming lawyers have argued that there is no true “concession renewal” in Macau.
Last week, Ambrose So Shu Fai, vice-chairman and CEO for SJM Holdings, told reporters that the company hopes to receive a two-year extension when its current license expires. This would put it in line with the four operators, whose licenses expire in 2022, allowing all operators to be on the same ground in the potential rebidding process.
There are currently a number of operators working under the license of another outfit. There has been a push in the city lately to amend the gaming laws to allow for more than the current six concession licenses. It is possible, come 2022, that a seventh or even an eighth license could be added.

Turbo Duck takes flight in Stakelogic’s newest release
Â
Feathers fly as a fearless duck dukes it out in a cyberpunk arcade in this exhilarating video slot!
Stakelogic has released its most action-packed slot to date with Turbo Duck, a high-octane title that blends intense gameplay with cinematic visuals and a winged hero who refuses to back down.
Set in a post-apocalyptic retro arcade, Turbo Duck follows Quack-9, a fearless duck mecha-pilot ready for action. As the gameplay unfolds, players join Quack-9 in the fight for control and massive multipliers.
Played across a 5-reel, 4-row grid with 15 fixed paylines, the game introduces a mix of Mystery Wilds, instant-win multipliers and three escalating Bonus Game modes.
Mystery Symbols land on reels 2 and 4, revealing either a Blue Wild, a Red Multiplier Wild up to 10x, or directional arrows that place additional Wilds nearby. During Free Spins, Blue Wilds can also award +2 extra Free Spins.
Landing three Bonus Symbols triggers 10 Free Spins and activates the Bonus Wheel, which determines one of three Free Spin variants: Bonus, Mega or Ultra. Each mode increases win potential through higher multiplier frequency and persistent Mystery Symbols. The most volatile mode, Ultra, removes all low-value multipliers and guarantees one high-value multiplier on every spin.
Multiplier Symbols appear in three tiers: Blue (2x–50x), Green (5x–100x), and Red (5x–500x with MAX WIN potential) and award instant prizes based on the base bet. The Turbo Blast feature, which can trigger on any spin, sees one to three multipliers onto the reels, with at least one guaranteed to be from the highest tier. When Multiplier symbols land on the reels Quack-9 will fire into life, destroying them for reveals that keep you on the edge of your seat.
For players who want to take control, Turbo Duck includes a Buy Bonus option with three entry levels, as well as the option to activate Super Stake™, doubling the chance of triggering Free Spins.
James Jelliffe, Head of Slots at Stakelogic, said: “Turbo Duck is a slot that really plays to our strengths. From the stylised visuals to the cinematic pacing, it’s built to stand out. While the theme adds plenty of character, it’s the underlying math that drives the experience, with a carefully balanced mix of volatility, momentum and feature depth designed to keep players engaged.”
