In Italy, the Ministry of Finance is facing pressure to deliver on reforms to the country’s land-based gambling outlets.
Amendments and modernisation are envisaged as part of the ‘Reorganisation of Gambling Decree’ passed two years ago by the incumbent Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, who authorised the first meaningful review of Italian gambling legislation since 2011.
Dialogue has been ongoing since last year with representatives of Italy’s 20 autonomous regions on top-level federal rules and standards that will be applied to all land-based venues as well as local gambling subsidiaries.
As reported by SBC, a general consensus is said to be in place, backed by the Conferenza Unificata (CU) body of regional administrations, but other local lawmakers and councillors want to secure further concessions.
