Crece interés en casinos de inversión mixta en Uruguay
Con un crecimiento en 2010 proyectado a superar lo
recaudado en 2009 en más del 15%, a mediados de noviembre 2010, la Dirección de Casinos reportó ingresos por más de $3.622 millones hasta esa fecha. En 2009, los casinos uruguayos recaudaron en exceso de $ 3.507 millones (pesos Uruguay), equivalente a US $174 millones, con beneficios de US $62 millones.
En Uruguay, el 90% de las recaudaciones de los casinos
estatales va a las arcas del Estado y el resto a una serie de organismos de carácter social, cultural y deportivo. Sin embargo, existe una nueva modalidad de inversión en casinos uruguayos donde privados pueden invertir en los casinos con un formato de economía mixta, donde el Estado comparte con los inversores las utilidades de los casinos.
Growing interest in mixed investment casinos in Uruguay
With 2010 growth projected at over 15% higher than in
2009, Uruguay’s state casinos announced in mid-November that revenues had already exceeded 2009 figures. In 2009 Casinos del Estado made in excess of US$174 million with profits of US$62 million.
In Uruguay 90% of tax collected from state casinos goes to
state coffers and the rest to a series of organizations supported by the casinos, such as the Heritage Commission and the Olympic Committee. However, there exists a new investment model whereby the private sector can invest in casinos in a mixed economy format, sharing proceeds with the state.
There exist eight casinos that are working in conjunction with the private sector, including the legendary Conrad Casino in the seaside resort of Punta del Este. In this resort playground city, the Nogaró and Mantra casinos are also private investment operation in the mixed economy format.
Last year the tender for the Hotel Casino Carrasco was finalized, and the winner, Spanish-French consortium Codere- Sofitel, operating as Carrasco Nobile, has started the refurbishment and equipment of a new casino with US $60 million investment.
