Castilla-La Mancha suspends new gambling venue approvals until 2027
Castilla-La Mancha said its gambling planning decree suspends new installation authorisations for gambling venues and betting shops until 2027. The regional government also said a bill containing amendments to its gambling law had been approved by the regional government and was awaiting parliamentary processing; the proposed changes include biometric checks for entry to gambling halls.
The suspension limits new venue authorisations, while proposed biometric checks could affect gambling-hall access requirements.
