The administration of President Andr\u00e9s Manuel L\u00f3pez Obrador has made a momentous decision by approving a groundbreaking decree that modifies the Federal Law of Gaming and Sweepstakes in Mexico. The change, which took effect from November 17, specifically eliminates raffles held using slot machines.<\/p>\n

The decree, introduced in September and recently published in the Official Gazette, outlines its purpose: \u201cto regulate the provisions of the Gaming Law for the authorization, control, surveillance, and inspection of the games when they involve bets, as well as the draw in all its modalities, except for the draws held by the National Lottery.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

According to the Ministry of the Interior (Segob)<\/a>, the provision allowing the \u201cdrawing of numbers or symbols through machines,\u201d sometimes known as slot machines, is repealed by the modification. Only draws conducted by the National Lottery are accepted as legitimate under the new rules.<\/p>\n

Impact on Slot Machines and Casinos<\/h2>\n

The federal government\u2019s decision suggests that it will no longer be issuing new licenses to businesses that have slot machines. Current permits will not be renewed; instead, they will be honored until their expiration date. Crucially, the directive is not retroactive, thus casinos that have slot machines can use the equipment up until the end of the permit, but no later.<\/p>\n

Casinos are required to stop utilizing these licenses after the 15-year non-extendable permit validity term is over. Permits for cross-betting activities in different spaces will also be valid for a least of one year and a maximum of fifteen years, according to the rule.<\/p>\n
