Meier considers investment-protection action over Chile casino tenders

Reportedly, Chile's SCJ has opened a new process to award two casino operating permits, one from the national available quota and one from the Aysén Region reserve quota. Bidders have 120 working days to submit technical and economic offers, with the presentation hearing set for 12 April 2027 in Santiago. The call follows the January 2026 declarations that the Coyhaique and Ancud contests were void.

Chile's Superintendencia de Casinos de Juego (SCJ) has begun a new process to award two casino operating permits, one from the quota available at national level and one from the reserve quota of the Aysén Region. The regulator said the procedure started through Exempt Resolutions No. 992 and No. 993, dated 14 October 2026, and was reported on 20 October. The technical bases were authorised through Exempt Resolutions No. 989 and No. 990 and are available, together with the application system and its user manual, on the SCJ's institutional website.
