Acres Manufacturing Company has secured approval from Macau’s Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau to operate as a gaming machine manufacturer in the city, giving the Las Vegas supplier a place on the regulated list through March 31, 2027.

 The authorization, published in Macau’s Official Gazette and reported by Inside Asian Gaming, extends Acres’ reach into one of Asia’s most tightly controlled gaming markets.

Macau Approval Widens Supplier Access

Macau’s approval framework requires manufacturers and suppliers to obtain the bureau’s permit before gaming machines can be supplied or operated in the territory. 

The Macao SAR government says gaming machines must be approved by the DICJ, while the bureau’s supplier page says companies intending to supply gaming machines “must obtain the relevant permit from the DICJ.” 

Acres, founded in 2007, builds analytics, cashless gaming and rewards systems.
