The vice chairman of Galaxy Entertainment Group has said he is happy with the allocation of 150 new-to-market gaming tables for its Galaxy Macau phase two resort, which opened last week.

“I will never say there are too many tables,” said Francis Lui Yiu Tung at a press conference to mark the launch, hastily adding in a reference to the Macau government, which decides these things against the backdrop of a market-wide gaming table cap: “I think 150 is very acceptable.”

The firm has said in filings that the US$2.5bn property has capacity for 500 gaming tables, but the Macau government didn’t confirm how many it was getting until only days before Galaxy Macau phase two opened.
