Italy’s Council of State upholds Ventimiglia gaming hall closure order
Italy’s Council of State rejected the appeal by the owner of a Ventimiglia gaming hall, upholding the municipality’s order to cease operations or remove the gaming machines. The order followed an inspection that found six slots; the court said the new operator had not filed the required transfer application. The appellant must pay the municipality €3,000 in legal costs.
The ruling confirms that operators taking over a gaming venue must submit the required transfer application to continue operating.
