El proceso de licencia para la construcción de un Hard Rock Hotel y Casino en Ciudad del Este (Paraguay) se pondrá en marcha en el primer semestre de este año, según anunció el Ministro de Industria y Comercio de Paraguay, Gustavo Leite.
En lo que supone un acuerdo emblemático, la Federação Paulista de Futebol (FPF), que ges- tiona todos los torneos de fútbol oficiales de São Paulo en Brasil, ha incorporado el sistema de detección de fraudes Sportradar para cubrir más de 200 partidos en los años 2016 y 2017.
La multinacional española Codere ha publicado que sus ingresos operativos subieron en 2015 un 18,3 por ciento hasta situarse en los 1639,5 millones, fundamentalmente gracias a la mejora en los resultados de Argentina, Italia y Panamá.
Enjoy ha abierto el primero de los tres casinos que tiene previstos la empresa con la cadena hotelera Decameron, que opera en Cen- troamérica, Sudamérica y África. El nuevo casino tiene un total de 90 máquinas tragaperras, ocho mesas y un bar, y ofrecerá entretenimiento del directo.
El Comité de Finanzas de la Cámara de Representantes de Uruguay se dispone a aprobar una importante ley nueva sobre el juego. Tiene como objetivo establecer un «marco legal exhaustivo» que supondrá cambios importantes para la forma en que el Estado regula y organiza el sector. El proyecto de ley también refuerza el monopolio estatal sobre los casinos, las carreras de caballos, las loterías y las apuestas deportivas, además del juego online.
El presidente del Instituto Brasileño del Juego, Magno José de Sousa Santos, ha afirmado ante el Congreso que nada menos que 200 000 brasileños salen del país al mes para participar en actividades de juego.
El mercado de los casinos podría asistir a un despegue significativo en la República Domini- cana, tras el anuncio de que el Grupo Globalia tiene previsto seguir invirtiendo en el mercado. Su propietario, Juan José Hidalgo, ha creado Riverbound Investment para invertir en casinos formando parte de hoteles que ya son propiedad de la empresa y sus socios.
La Superintendencia de Casinos de Juego de Chile (SCJ) ha publicado los requisitos para el próximo proceso de licitación para la obtención de licencias de casino municipales. El Consejo de Resoluciones de la SJC rebaja los requisitos míni- mos para las nuevas licencias, incluida una oferta financiera mínima garantizada en función del tamaño y la ubicación del nuevo casino.
Los casinos de la zona de juego de la ciudad rusa de Azov podrían mantenerse abiertos hasta finales de 2018 tras las negociaciones con la administración de Krasnodar y el Gobierno de Rusia.

Paraguay Minister makes licence announcement at an investors meeting that Hard Rock will be granted approval this year
PARAGUAY CASINO LICENCES Paraguay to Grant Hard Rock 2016 Licence
Te licensing process for the construction of a Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in the city of Ciudad del Este in Paraguay, will be initiated in the first half of this year, according to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of Paraguay, Gustavo Leite.
“We want a hotel with over 200 rooms, and which has parking for at least 2500 cars. We want something that will transform Ciudad del Este,” the Minister said during a press conference at the Presidential Palace. Te Minister added that in terms of scale the casino will be something similar to which is “operating internationally and in Las Vegas. We want our neighbours to invest in the country the most, it is a time when they are looking a lot at this country and everyone is welcome.”
Te Minister made the announcement after a meeting with a group of investors from Te Latin American Gaming Group – a group associated with the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino brand and added that the government wanted to supplement the industrial area of Ciudad del Este with an entertainment area for tourists.
“Te government can only provide clear rules, as you know a casino and hotel of this magnitude cannot be granted without a
transparent bidding process. We want a first class hotel, which prevents money laundering, and we want global operators,” he said.
Hard Rock International first announced plans to install a casino and hotel in the city of Ciudad del Este in 2014. Te hotel will, it is believed, have 250 rooms while the casino will house 500 slot machines and 30 gaming tables.
Te decision to launch in Paraguay was made after a wide sweeping study was carried out by a team of local specialists who provided advice on marketing, strategy as well as financial planning, government oversight and local gaming laws. Ciudad del Este is the second largest city in Paraguay and the capital of the Alto Paraná Department, situated on the Rio Paraná.
Tere has, however, been some controversy regarding the planned location of the casino and hotel. Last November it was announced that the casino would be located on land belonging to the headquarters of Paraguay’s National Ports Authority (ANNP) which has become increasingly abandoned. However trade unionists have asked a judge to block the move arguing that there is a ban in place which prohibits further development in the area.
FPF brings Sportradar’s fraud detecion system to South America
Brazil
In a landmark agreement, the Federação Paulista de Futebol (FPF), which manages all the official football tournaments within the state of São Paulo in Brazil, has brought in Sportradar’s Fraud Detection System to cover over 200 matches in 2016 and 2017.
Tis partnership marks the first time that any match-
fixing detection service has been employed by a South American football rights holder. Under the terms of the agreement, the FDS will monitor matches in the Campeonato Paulista (which includes teams like Corinthians, Santos and São Paulo F.C), as well as Youth and Women’s competitions in the state.
Speaking at the official signing ceremony in São Paulo, FPF President Reinaldo Carneiro Bastos underlined the following: “In today’s climate, where sports and leagues everywhere are fighting with those who would manipulate results, our teams, players and fans must trust the performances on the field and scores on the league table. So we looked for the best in the business. Sportradar are trusted by the biggest names in the biggest sports. We are delighted that we could bring them to South America, to
Brazil, to show our teams and fans that football in São Paulo is pure and will remain pure”.
Sportradar Security Services Managing Director Andreas Krannich added his thoughts: “Tis is a big moment for Sportradar’s Security Services. It is the first time that we have been asked to provide our Fraud Detection System to a competition in South America. We have managed to establish some great momentum in recent years: developing our relationships in Asia, signing MoUs with law enforcement agencies and supporting successful investigations from Austria to Australia. But there is no doubt today is a significant milestone in our evolution. We are sure that all the fans, participants and stakeholders will be equally thankful. We have here today set a clear marker about what we want for the future of Paulista and Brazilian football”.
