Chilean court suspends Viña del Mar casino tender as parties seek changes
Chile's Tribunal de Defensa de la Libre Competencia suspended the Viña del Mar casino tender while it considers Marina del Sol's challenge to the tender terms. The FNE sought to join the case and requested more time to gather information, while the Superintendencia de Casinos de Juego asked the court to lift the suspension. The roundup also reports a Paraguayan extension of TDP's quiniela concession to 30 September during the move to a two-operator model.
The suspension and requests could affect the timing and competition for casino concessions in Chile.
