Finland gambling regulator announces major restructuring

On December 9, just short of two years after it opened, the operator announced that Casino Tampere would be closing. As early as September, they made mention of the closure. Furthermore, on December 22, 19 additional gaming arcades that fall under this agency's jurisdiction will close.

The Finnish government's objective of minimizing the financial and social costs of gambling is aligned with these modifications. As long as the operator maintains its monopoly over lotteries and retail slot machines, private companies will be able to apply for licenses to operate online casinos and sports betting under the proposed new system.
