Italy’s draft budget bill sets new rules for amusement machines
Italy’s draft 2027 budget bill proposes changes to amusement machines, including raising the maximum cost per play for category 7A machines from €1 to €2 and increasing the maximum prize value from €20 to €40. The commentary says operators would have 60 days after the law takes effect to submit declarations for certain temporarily authorised machines still installed on 31 December 2026.
The proposed requirements could affect machine costs, prize limits and operators’ decisions to retain older equipment.
