The AJ said the inspection took place on 16 October in the city’s eastern sector as part of its continuing programme against unauthorised gambling.

Two slot machines were seized from a business operating without the required licence in Santa Cruz de la Sierra by the Autoridad de Fiscalización del Juego.

The inspection took place on 16 October in a residential and commercial area in the east of the city. The AJ said it identified the machines through a check under its continuing programme against illegal gambling.

The regulator said unlicensed machines operate outside the supervision requirements that apply to authorised businesses. It warned that participants lack equivalent guarantees about operating conditions and may have difficulty making complaints over possible irregularities. The AJ advised people to check that gambling establishments and activities are authorised before taking part.
