30th September, 2005 Macau

Since its opening, Macau Tower Convention & Entertainment Centre has continually brought hot new attractions to the city, impressing thousands of leisure and business travelers with the innovative spirit of Macau. Macau Tower is uniquely successful in combining entertainment and MICE elements under one roof, and it has now become a landmark loved by tourists, and a venue highly acclaimed by event organizers. Following the record-setting SkyJump challenge that has captured the heart and soul of the world, another to-die-for attraction is landing in Macau Tower this autumn. The new generation entertainment venue, "Tiger Slot", will sure bring the city's long-founded gaming culture to a new level, rendering Macau Tower a truly all-rounded winner in every visitor's lasting memory.

Within the impressive architecture of Macau Tower, visitors can expect to find state-of-the-art business facilities, one-of-a-kind AJ Hackett personal challenges, unparalleled views of the city and a wide variety of dining choices; and now, with the added gaming excitement that comes with the opening of the first Tiger Slots, Macau Tower becomes the true representation of all the best of Macau. Tiger Slots sets the record of many unique features: it is the only entertainment venue in the city that offers a complete coin-less operating module through the using of value-storing WildCards; it is the only place where Slots FreePlay are extended; and it is the only venue that has private VIP booths, the Tiger Lair, reserved for those who appreciate increased privacy.

Macau Tower has always been the benchmark for tourist and business facilities. With the coming of Tiger Slots, it is setting the benchmark for gaming entertainments of the city. Backed by a team of experts in the local gaming industry, Macau Tower has created a new slot culture based upon the Macanese way. Without partnering with foreign investors, Macau Tower is single-handedly building this international-standard venue, setting a new milestone upon the history of the city's gaming tradition.

 

A Star-studded Grand Opening
Macau Tower hosted the Grand Opening of the Tiger Slots this afternoon as part of the "Echoing Tigers' Roar" Ceremony. On this special day, two tiger events were held back-to-back, with the Tiger Slots Grand Opening immediately following another extraordinary occasion- the Handover Ceremony of a pair of national treasures, the White Tigers, from the Guangzhou Panyu Xiangjiang Safari Park to Macau Tower. Tiger Slots is another outlet under Sociedade de Jogos de Macau, SA (SJM), promoted and managed by Chin Son Limited. Close to a thousand invitations have been extended to local and overseas guests, including government officials, business partners, aristocrats and many VIPs. Hong Kong Best Actor Award recipient Mr. Eric Tsang Chi Wai and popular artiste Ms. Yu An An played the role of guest emcees, while Engineer Antunes, Director of MGTO, Dr. Stanley Ho, Managing Director of STDM, Ms. Maisy Ho and Ms. Josephine Ho, Directors of Tiger Slots, were the Guests of Honor officiating at the occasion.

 

Enjoy first-hand the new slot experience
Tiger Slots strives to offer a contemporary and lively gaming environment through its modern decor, friendly services, special reward programs and advanced operating modules, creating a whole new slot experience for every guest visiting this unique venue. With over 200 machines of incredible variety (from the all-time classic to the hottest themes), players will sure enjoy the fun in interactive gaming. And with our WildCard value-storing system, the era of heavy coins and slow pay-out time is gone so that players can hop from machine to machine with ease. Over the month of October, Tiger Slots will be offering extra Tiger Jackpots totaling $500,000 in value to welcome our guests! Tiger Slots has a smoke-free zone and the only VIP booths in town, the Tiger Lair - best suited for those who enjoy privacy with their game.

For a truly privileged status, all members of the Tiger Club program can enjoy a myriad of exclusive discounts in outlets of Macau Tower, at TurboJET as well as Singing Bean Coffee, a newly opened Japanese coffeehouse within Shun Tak House in Senado Square.

Innovation and Creativity are the pledges Macau Tower has for all its guests. As the home to the world's highest adventure challenge and the specified venue for the National Banquet and the renowned PATA conference, this is where many memories are created. As pioneers with foresight, Macau Tower and its team will continue to push forward the frontier of quality services and high-energy fun with the city of Macau.
