Valencian government bars new hospitality gaming-machine authorisations
The Valencian government has approved a decree governing gambling activity in the region, reportedly ending the transitional moratorium on machine licences. It bars new authorisations for B machines in hospitality venues, except for replacements or renewals, and permits gambling venues to relocate only if they increase their distance from schools.
The decree limits hospitality operators’ access to new B-machine authorisations and restricts venue relocations near schools.
