Panama’s Junta de Control de Juegos (JCJ) detected a $1.5m tax collection shortfall and seized illegal Type C slot machines through audits and inspections, executive secretary Manuel Sánchez said. The authority had carried out 30 operations to identify illegal machines, compared with about two or three in the previous five years. It was also preparing to tender a machine-interconnection project and working on online gambling regulation, Sánchez said.
