Rogelio Genao urges Dominican Senate to advance gambling bill
Dominican deputy Rogelio Genao Lanza urged Congress to resume work on a gambling bill, which the Chamber of Deputies approved on 23 July and now awaits Senate review. The proposal would create a gambling regulator, strengthen licensing and enforcement, and restrict new licences for some establishments for 10 years, with exceptions for casinos in hotels and tourist areas.
The bill could establish a regulator, strengthen enforcement and restrict some new licences, making Senate action relevant to operators.
