Uganda’s National Lotteries and Gaming Regulatory Board and police arrested Mwesigwa Patricia in Masaka District over the operation of gaming machines without a board licence. The regulator said she was remanded to Luzira prison on charges under the Lotteries and Gaming Act; the premises were also found to be unregistered and unauthorised for gaming.
The arrest signals enforcement against unlicensed gaming venues, which compete with licensed operators in Uganda.
