There were no protest in Macau for the Olympic torch. However, there are articles describing how the the event happened. It describes Macao or Macau ( I never know which one it is) as having Las Vegas-style casinos and pastel colored colonial buildings. According to MSNBC, it is the world's most lucrative gambling center. The event had spectators waving flags and cheering wildly chanting “Go China!”
Macau is a tiny city on China's southern coast. It's history contains Portuguese enclave and was returned to Chinese rule in 1999.It is the only place in the country where gambling is legal.
Protests are rare in Macau, therefore, the relay went smoothly. Just in case, there were two columns of police jogging on each side of the torch bearers.
