Piedmont official cites regional gambling data to defend gaming law
Piedmont Budget Councillor Andrea Tronzano defended the region’s gambling law in a published response, arguing that policy should reflect verified data and the complexity of gambling-related harm. He cited official figures showing physical gambling collection fell 4.5% and spending fell 16.9% in Piedmont from 2024 to 2025, while online gambling accounted for more than 58% of total play.
The cited online share and physical-play declines shape debate over Piedmont’s gambling policy and limits on venues.
