Puerto Rico court orders gaming commission to process route-machine licence applications
The San Juan Court of First Instance ordered Puerto Rico’s Gaming Commission to receive and process licence applications from route-based gaming machine operators. The ruling gives the Commission five days to accept applications and issue receipts and case numbers; incomplete applications must be identified in writing within 15 days. The court said about 2,000 machines remain available under the 25,000-machine statutory cap.
The order requires the Commission to begin processing applications and sets deadlines for intake and deficiency notices.
