The Casino of Esquel was temporarily closed for at least 48 hours after four minors were found inside: three aged 17 and one aged 14. This preventive measure aligns with provincial policies on responsible gambling and the prevention of underage gambling. Potential penalties include significant fines and even the revocation of the operator’s license. Ramiro Ibarra, President of the Social Assistance Institute, emphasized the imposition of maximum penalties. Additionally, the Aleara union expressed concern over employee conditions and promised to continue demanding better working conditions.
