It’s now official: Parisian gaming clubs will be able to reopen. A victim of the change of government, Paris’ 7 gaming clubs were forced to close their doors on January 1, 2025. The publication of the implementing decree in the Journal Officiel is still pending, while the Gaming Establishments Consultative Commission is due to meet on Friday to validate the authorizations essential for the reopening, the Barrière group told AFP.
The seven Parisian gaming clubs had been forced to cease operations at the start of the year, due to the lack of a clear legislative framework. Experimented with in the capital since 2018, these establishments were due to benefit from an extension of their authorization until the end of 2025 via the Finance Act.
