French Experiment to Begin in New Year EMEA
Eike Batista, ein brasilianischer Öl- und Bergbaumillionär und vormals einer der reichsten Menschen der Welt, hat eingewilligt, vermeintliche Unregelmäßigkeiten im Umgang einiger Abge- ordneter mit dem neuen Gesetz offenzulegen, durch das die Einrichtung von Spielbanken in Brasilien ermöglicht werden sollte. Die Nachricht dürfte Auswirkungen auf das Glücksspielgesetz haben, da es dazu führen könnte, dass Abgeord- nete ihre Unterstützung dafür zurückziehen könnten.
Die Glücksspiel- und Spielbankenaufsicht (IPJyC) der Provinz Mendoza hat beschlossen, die Zulassungen von zwei Spielbanken nicht zu ver- längern, da diese nicht länger mit der Politik der Regierung vereinbar seien. Die Schließung der Kasinos in Tunuyán und Tupungato erfolgte im Mai.
Sheldon Adelson, der Vorstandsvorsitzende von Las Vegas Sands, hat sich gemeinsam mit einer Reihe von Geschäftsleuten und örtlichen Politikern mit dem Bürgermeister von Rio de Janeiro, Marcelo Crivella, getroffen, um das neue Regierungsprogramm zur Förderung des Wirtschaftswachstums zu erörtern.
Das Bemühen der Regierung von Nuevo Leon, etwas über eine Milliarde Pesos an neuen Spielbanksteuereinnahmen einzunehmen, steht vor dem Scheitern. Im ersten Vierteljahr hat der Staat Glücksspielsteuereinnahmen in Höhe von etwas über 2,6 Millionen Pesos erzielt, das entspricht etwa 2,13 Prozent der Erwartung für 2017.
Der Leiter der staatlichen bolivianischen Finanz- und Sozialaufsicht über das Glücksspiel (AJ), Marco Sánchez Vaca, hat verlauten lassen, dass seine Institution an gesetzlichen Bestim- mungen zur Regulierung des Online-Glücksspiels arbeitet.
Der chilenische Betreiber Enjoy hat zur Finanzierung der Übernahme der verbleibenden 55 Prozent an der Hotel- und Spielbankanlage Conrad in Punta del Este Resort in den Vereinigten Staaten eine Staatsanleihe aufgenommen. Die Fremdkapitalaufnahme entspricht ungefähr 188 Mio. USD zuzüglich Zinsen.
Am 10. Mai veröffentlichte die französische Regierung einen vom Innenminister unterzeich- neten Erlass, in dem die Betriebsbedingungen für Spielhallen (Clubs de jeux) in Paris sowie die Bes- timmungen in Bezug auf den Betrieb von Spielbanken festgelegt werden. Zweck des Erlasses ist die Aufhebung der bisherigen geset- zlichen Bestimmungen für Spielhallen in Paris für drei Jahre ab dem 1. Januar 2018 durch die Eröff- nung für das Angebot bestimmter Glücksspiele zugelassener Spielhallen.
In der österreichischen Bundeshauptstadt wurde am 1. Mai nach einer sechsmonatigen Umbauphase der Admiral Arena Prater als größte Sportbar Europas eröffnet. Zur Einweihung gaben sich neben etwa 3.500 Gästen auch Rennsportle- gende und Novomatic-Markenbotschafter Niki Lauda und der Vorstandsvorsitzende der Novo- matic AG Harald Neumann ein Stelldichein.

Te French government is to permit casino gaming clubs to operate, a now specified list of, games in the once prohibited zone of the capital, Paris
Te French Ministry of Interior defines which games are to be permitted in three-year experiment to allow gaming clubs to operate in the city of Paris
FRANCE OPERATIONS
On May 10, the French government published a decree signed by the Minister of the Interior, laying down the conditions for “clubs de jeux (gaming clubs) in Paris” and the provisions relating to casinos. Te text completes the law of February 28, 2017 relating to the status of Paris and metropolitan planning, which puts an end to the prohibition of gaming within Paris as of January 1, 2018, replacing it with an experimental period of three years with commercial companies operating gaming clubs. Tis decree indicates which games will be allowed in these clubs.
Te purpose of the decree is the repeal of the legal regime governing gaming clubs; commencing for a period of three years in Paris from January 1, 2018, with the opening of gaming clubs authorised to operate certain games; strengthening the administration's capacity to combat what it describes as the capitalist takeover of companies operating casinos and gambling clubs by capital of ‘doubtful origin - ie. money laundering.
Tere is only one authorised gaming operation in Paris, Clichy-Montmartre, which, if it wishes to eventually become a gaming club, will benefit from transitional provisions specific to clubs de jeux.
Te text enters into force the day after it is published, with the exception of the provisions
of Chapter II, 1 of Article 20 and 2 of Article 21 of the Decree which come into force on January 1, 2018. However, for a period of one year from the same date, the gaming clubs benefit from an operating license coming into force on December 31, 2017 which shall continue to be governed by the provisions concerning them in their drafting prior to this decree. However, in order to be able to benefit from the status of gaming clubs as from January 1, 2018, the filing of applications for authorisation is authorised from September 1, 2017.
Te games allowed in the new game clubs consist of the following: stud poker; punto banco; Hold'em poker casino; Ultimate poker; Tree card poker; Poker 21; Multicoloured billiards; Railway baccarat; Two-bank baccarat limited-bank; Two-bank open-bank baccarat; forms of poker determined by the order mentioned in article R. 321-39 of the code of internal security; and Mahjong.
Candidates for the operation of a gaming club are now awaiting the tax component of this legislation as Ministry of the Budget has not yet decided on the issue of taxation. Te provisions concerning the clubs could be part of a supplementary budget law in July or September. If it's in September, in view of administrative delays in the opening of a club, there is very little chance for everything to be completed by 1 January 2018.
