Rio de Janeiro revokes Jockey Club VLT permit before installation

Licences & markets

Rio de Janeiro’s Secretariat of Public Order withdrew permission for To All Games Operações Lotéricas to install video lottery terminals at Jockey Club Brasileiro in Gávea. The machines had not been installed; the municipality removed them from the list of permitted games after the mayor said in August he would not grant further permits for electronic gaming machines.

The withdrawal prevents the proposed VLT installation despite a favourable LOTERJ opinion.
