FIT says Italy’s land-based gambling reform stalled before cabinet review
Italy’s tobacco retailers’ federation FIT said a proposed reorganisation of the land-based gambling sector had stalled before a Council of Ministers meeting on 4 June. The draft, prepared by the Customs and Monopolies Agency under the supervision of the finance ministry, was not included on the meeting agenda; FIT said the reasons for the setback were not officially known.
A delay leaves operators in betting and gaming-machine retail networks without clarity on the proposed sector reorganisation.
