Under Macau gaming law, only Macau locals may be employed as dealers by casinos here. This creates a natural shortage of gaming dealers. In addition, since baccarat accounts for 90 percent of the Macau gaming scene and poker is only a recent newcomer, there are virtually no dealers who have any poker experience. As a result, all of the dealers for today's event have only recently been trained. They are performing quite admirably, but most seem to be washing the deck after every hand, significantly adding to the time it takes to play a single hand.
