(Mexico) .- Following firm in the determination not to grant new casino licenses, following the instruction of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the Directorate of Games and Raffles of the Ministry of the Interior, headed by Alma Itzel de Lira Castillo, has granted only authorizations for changes of addresses or openings to gambling halls that already had permits prior to that determination
The policy of strict compliance with the orders of the first president respects the acquired rights of the permit holders, which is also consistent with the word given by Olga Sánchez Cordero in her time as head of the Interior, before being president of the Senate.
Well-informed sources indicate that, by taking over the Segob post, Adán Augusto López will continue to support the policy of the 4T in the Games and Raffles Directorate, bringing in, with a firm hand, the establishments of the industry that do not adhere to the zero tolerance policy for corruption.
In the corridors of the Segob it has transpired that there will be surprise inspections in which it will be carefully reviewed that all gaming rooms have the required documentation.
While admitting that sometimes these reviews can be exhaustive and perhaps even exaggerated, the majority of employers who comply with the law indicate that they contribute to having an even floor in their industry.
Thus, everything seems to indicate that the fight against illegal gambling will not stop and that the current Director of Games and Raffles will continue to abide by and give continuity to the presidential instructions, which is to be expected will bring good results for gambling industrialists who do well. things and respect the institutions, especially if they overcome past eras of corruption.
