Abstract
While writing on the future of commercial gambling in Macao, Chan et al. (2016) conclude:
We do look forward to seeing the transformation of Macao from a city of gambling to a metropolitan city of global tourism and leisure destination – An Asian icon of gaming and prosperity. And as long as commercial gambling is carried out responsibly and morally, it can offer hopes and dreams of a better livelihood for the 640,000 residents in the small enclave in the southern part of China (p. 152).

Found in July 2009, the Lottery Research Center, Beijing Normal University, provides consultation to the Chinese government in Chinese lottery development and policy-making. It also carries out academic research and market analyses in order to provide expert opinions to relevant government authorities (Lottery Research Center of China, Beijing Normal University 2017). Cooperated with Asia Pacific Association for Gambling Studies (APAGS), the center organized the Third Asia Pacific Conference on Gambling & Commercial Gaming Research (APCG2015) on April 12–14, 2015 in Beijing. Scholars of the center also participated and presented their academic papers in other international gaming conferences and important activities such as Global Gaming Expo (e.g., G2E Asia held in the Venetian Macao, May 17–19, 2016).
