New rules for Macao gambling trips

People who organize trips with more than 10 mainland citizens to go gambling in Macao and profit from it will be charged with the crime of gambling in line with the Chinese Criminal Law, said the Ministry of Public Security on Friday.

As the Macao Special Administrative Region has an independent jurisdiction, the decision of whether mainland citizens gambling in Macao are doing something illegal or not will be decided case by case, the ministry's petition office said at People.com.cn, a website owned by the People's Daily.
