Luxembourg government pursues gaming machine monopoly reforms

Regulation

Luxembourg’s government has begun reforms aimed at giving the National Lottery and casinos a legal monopoly, Justice Minister Elisabeth Margue told parliament on 30 October. The proposal would restrict cafés to National Lottery machines and prohibit other gaming machines, including skill-based machines; the government is also considering whether to allow the sole land-based casino operator to offer online casino gaming under a monopoly licence.

The proposed restrictions could affect gaming machine venues and the structure of online casino access in Luxembourg.
