La Libertad Avanza proposes casino licences for Río Negro communities
By The Weekly Edge desk ·
Summary
La Libertad Avanza has proposed a bill in Río Negro that would allow recognised Indigenous communities to operate casinos, slot rooms and bingo halls, reported by Focus Gaming News (ES). The proposal sets an initial limit of four casino licences for the first three years and requires applicants to have legal status and recognised community land. The provincial lottery would retain oversight, and the bill remains subject to legislative debate.
Why it matters
The proposal could create a provincial licensing route for Indigenous communities while leaving oversight with the lottery.
