Esplugues de Llobregat suspends new gambling venue permits for one year
Esplugues de Llobregat’s municipal council approved a one-year moratorium on 22 December, suspending permits to open or expand bingo halls, betting shops and casinos. The municipality will use the period to study the venues’ effects, including their proximity to schools and places frequented by young people, and consider local planning rules.
Operators cannot open or expand gambling venues in Esplugues while the municipality reviews its planning rules.
