A 15-day public hearing period on Thailand’s draft Entertainment Complex Bill has received an overwhelmingly positive response, with more than 80% of respondents approving of the plan and many even suggesting an easing of rules around locals entry and gaming floor space.

Documents summarising the findings were published by the Ministry of Finance on Monday, revealing a total of 71,289 people responded with 80.75% agreeing with the general entertainment complex plan.

According to the Ministry, recommendations stemming from the public’s feedback include altering a requirement for locals to hold at least THB 50 million (US$1.5 million) in a fixed deposit account for not less than 6 months in order to gain casino access because limiting the customer base would directly affect investment.

“There should be a proper reason why it must be THB 50 because … investment in this business will not be able to occur,” the Ministry’s summary of responses reads.

It also notes several alternative suggestions from respondents, including a reduction in the deposit amount to THB 10 million and allowing other assets such as land and stocks to be included, or reducing the deposit amount to THB 5 million but increasing the income condition.

“The minimum deposit requirement may be an excessive restriction on personal rights. Other options should be considered, such as setting maximum gambling limits and providing information and knowledge about responsible gambling,” the summary states.

Asia Gaming Awards recognised Spintec’s Charisma as the best among electronic table gaming solutions based on its added value, reliability, support, functionality, customer experience, and revenue generation.

The award confirms that Spintec’s role as one of the leading providers of electronic table games (ETGs) in Asia is not a coincidence. It is especially admirable that they are most successful in Macau, an extremely important market known for its size, strict regulations, and high operational standards. Spintec’s presence in Asia is therefore stronger than ever, driven by a deep understanding of the market’s needs and a commitment to delivering cutting-edge ETG solutions that enhance the player experience and casino profitability.

Spintec’s products are the preferred choice for operators looking for reliability, innovation, and seamless integration into their gaming floors.
