Macau regulator approved expanded House of Play library and Kam Pek Paradise on 9 October 2026

Key Takeaways
- LT Game Ltd received DICJ approval on 9 October 2026 to expand House of Play’s game library and to test Kam Pek Paradise.
- The DICJ approval for House of Play covers roulette, magic wheel, sic bo, HILO and a colour game.
- DICJ recognised House of Play under EGM Technical Standards 2.0, ETG Technical Standards 1.0 and Dealer-Operated ETG Standards 1.0.

LT Game Ltd received Macau regulatory approval on 9 October 2026 to expand the game library for its multi-game platform House of Play and to test its electronic game product Kam Pek Paradise, the company told GGRAsia. Chief operating officer Eddie Au said the firm hopes to add some “casual games” to House of Play and will assess local demand for hosting those titles in Macau.
Regulatory approvals and technical standards
The approvals were issued by the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ) on 9 October 2026. House of Play — also marketed by LT Game as “HOP” — was first noted by DICJ in May 2026 with an initial offering limited to electronic baccarat. The regulator’s latest approval covers additional casino games: roulette, magic wheel, sic bo, HILO and a format described in the industry as a “colour game”.
DICJ recognised House of Play under three Macau technical standards in its October approval: Electronic Gaming Machine (EGM) Technical Standards 2.0, Electronic Table Games (ETG) Technical Standards 1.0, and Dealer-Operated Electronic Table Games Standards 1.0. Compliance with the ETG and Dealer-Operated ETG standards means House of Play could be offered in Macau as a live-dealer electronic table game product similar to LT Game’s best-known ETG, Live Multi-Game.
BMM Testlabs was the testing organisation for both House of Play and Kam Pek Paradise under the DICJ protocols.
Game formats, casual titles and local plans
Eddie Au told GGRAsia:
“House of Play is targeted at overseas markets with its offering including some non-traditional casino games.”
He added:
“Now with the latest [Macau regulatory] approval, we’ll certainly look at whether there is local demand for House of Play hosting casual games.”
LT Game described casual games as easy to understand, with short play sessions, distinct from social games that are typically offered without cash prizes. The article notes HILO as a casual game where players bet on whether the next-drawn card’s number will be higher, lower or equal to the current one. A colour game — a format popular in the Philippines — involves players betting on winning colour combinations with coloured dice, Mr Au said.
For the moment LT Game is considering offering House of Play in Macau in a virtual format rather than as an in-person product.
Kam Pek Paradise and legacy Chinese games
Kam Pek Paradise features a legacy collection of Chinese casino games that either retain a niche presence in Macau’s live-dealer market or have disappeared from the city’s floors. DICJ approved testing for three games under EGM Technical Standards 2.0 on 9 October 2026: fan tan; the dice game fish-prawn-crab sic bo; and the tile game mahjong pai gow. The product was showcased at Global Gaming Expo (G2E) Asia 2026 in Macau in May 2026.
House of Play was among a raft of new products LT Game outlined to GGRAsia in 2025. The company will now weigh adding casual games for both overseas rollouts and potential local demand in Macau.
