Land-based gaming reform, AGIC: “Essential to end the system of repeated extensions”

AGIC – Associazione Gioco e Intrattenimento in Concessione, which represents the market’s leading operators – highlighted, in a document presented today in Rome, the critical issues that could arise if the reform is not implemented.

Following an initial phase in which the sector was centrally managed by AAMS, now ADM, Regions and Municipalities have introduced their own regulations in recent years, mainly on public health grounds, restricting the location and opening hours of gaming outlets. This overlap of local rules has created an inconsistent regulatory system which, as also noted by the Council of State, hinders both the planning of the gaming network and the launch of tenders for retail concessions.
