During an inspection in central Cochabamba, staff from Bolivia's gambling regulator, the AJ, seized a poker table and three cases containing chips and cards. The inspection followed an anonymous complaint alleging that gambling had taken place continuously at the property since 8 August.
Nine people were gambling at the time of the inspection. The person responsible for the establishment was identified.
The inspection was carried out under powers granted by Law No. 060 on lottery and gambling games. The AJ said it conducts ongoing inspections across Bolivia. It said members of the public can report suspected illegal gambling directly to the regulator.
