Ecuador court orders Guayaquil to remove Club del Sol closure seals
Ecuador’s District Administrative Court ordered the Municipality of Guayaquil to remove closure seals from Club del Sol, where a slot-machine venue operates under the control of the Ecuadorian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Gaming lawyer Carlos Fonseca Sarmiento said the case could inform debate over rules for gambling, including whether non-profit organisations may fund their activities through betting games.
The order concerns the operation of a slot-machine venue amid unresolved questions about gambling rules in Ecuador.
