Valencia bars most new gaming-machine permits for hospitality venues

Regulation

The Consell of Valencia has approved a decree that bars new authorisations for prize gaming machines in hospitality venues, except for regulated replacements or renewals. It also maintains restrictions on new gaming halls and betting venues, with limited relocation exceptions, and permits new bingo halls only when they replace existing premises and meet distance rules.

Operators face restrictions on opening new gaming-machine and gambling venues across the Valencian Community.
