According to the latest list published by the Macau Official Gazette, this year 26 gaming machine manufacturers or distributors have been approved to supply gaming machines in Macau, one more than in 2024.
This year's list includes a number of well-known companies that have been operating in Macau for many years, such as Aristocrat, Light & Wonder, IGT, Konami, and Japan's Sega Sammy Creation, with distributors RGB Ltd and Asia Pioneer Entertainment also on the list.
Empire Technological Group was granted a DICJ license in May 2024, ACP in December, but FBM and the Czech Republic's SYNOT Group, which appeared on the list last year, were notably omitted.
IAG has contacted FBM for comments.
The licenses for the 26 approved gaming machine manufacturers and distributors this year will be valid until March 31, 2026.
According to Administrative Regulation No. 26/2012, licensed manufacturers are entitled to supply gaming machines to Macau concessionaires and, with authorization from the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau, to display non-commercial gaming machines for training or exhibition purposes.
The list of license holders is traditionally published in the Official Gazette every March.
