Te governing council of Tenerife is looking into the future of three casinos on the island after the previous tender failed


In September it was revealed that just one company had showed an interest in acquiring the share package of the three casino


TENERIFE CASINO OPERATIONS


Te governing council of Tenerife is looking into the future of three casinos on the island after the previous tender failed. Te Minister of Finance, Berta Pérez announced that the council will open a process of "analysis" of the entire corporate public sector, which includes the three public casinos meaning that the casinos could stay in state hands.


Te minister blamed the complexity of the specifications in the tender for the previous failure. Pérez said that she assumed that it was "very difficult" to meet the criteria set out by the Ministry of Finance, due to the complex political situation surrounding the licensing process.


However during question time, the Popular Party Minister, Manuel Fernández, said that the sale of casinos "is a legal and moral obligation" of the council as part of its commitment of "disinvestment" of the public sector.


Fernandez asked the government team for "political courage" to resume the sales process, an action in which he would have the "support" of his party. However the left-wing Podemos Party and the Spanish General Worker’s Union (UGT), have opposed the sell off saying that it would lead to job losses and that there is no reason to sell as the casinos are still profitable. In July the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) took power in a coalition which puts the sale of the casinos in doubt.


Irish government approves €5 max stake on gambling machines


Ireland


A new maximum stake limit of €5 has been set by the Irish Government as it brings in changes to the Gaming and Lotteries Act.


Te updates brought by Charlie Flanagan, Cabinet by Minister for Justice, also require a €500 payout limit from any electronic gaming or slot machine. Proposals in March planned for a maximum stake of €10 and payouts of €750, with Flanagan reportedly scaling down the figures in response to protests by problem gambling groups and politicians.


In September it was revealed that just one company had showed an interest in acquiring the share package of the three casinos owned by the Council of Tenerife. Te tender was launched by the previous administration. In October 2018 the government announced that the three casinos in Tenerife had been put on sale and would be privatised under a new public tender for a total of €24.9m. Te council, then headed by Carlos Alonso, explained that the resources obtained after the sale of the three casinos would “be used to finance social-health infrastructures” on the island.


Te sale of the three casinos - was approved by a majority in the plenary, but it was highly criticised by the Podemos (We Can) Party. Te party even initiated legal proceedings against the decision and accused the previous government of selling the three public casinos with a price much lower than their actual value.


In August Te Socialist Party of Spain reached an agreement with the Podemos Party to analyse the possible alternatives to the sale of the three casinos in Tenerife planned by the local council. In the agreement, the two parties agreed to jointly file a motion of censure against the ex-President of the council Carlos Alonso, so that all information regarding the sale process had to be collected, in order to analyse the procedure so far as well as the economic viability of these companies going forward.


Te government also plans to raise the age required to use gambling machines to 18. At present, 16-year-olds are permitted to use them.


Te Department of Justice said: "Modifying stake and prize amounts is the only current role of the Minister for Justice and Equality with regard to gaming machines. Te proposal had been to raise these amounts to €10 and €750 respectively.


"However, during the Dáil committee stage debate on 10 July on the modernisation of the stake and prize amounts, some deputies felt the proposed amounts were excessive. Te Minister of State undertook to consider the matter and now proposes €5 and €500.”


France


French casino group Tranchant has heralded the relocation of its Pau casino licence in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques region of France a huge success with attendance up by 61.34 per cent in the second half of 2019. Te casino moved from its previous downtown location, in the Beaumont Palace, north of the city, to a brand new building, on the edge of the Pau ring road at a cost of €11m at the start of May. Between May and October, the casino’s GGR increased by 40.87 per cent, from €4.3m to just over €6m. For the year as a whole, Casino de Pau generated revenues of €8.6m, down 6.65 per cent, illustrating the trend the location has reversed. Tranchant plans to increase the number of slots at the venue from 100 currently to 120.
