Swiss Casinos recently received four new licenses from the Federal Council for their operations in Zurich, St. Gallen, Pf\u00e4ffikon, and Winterthur. These licenses, including an online license for Pf\u00e4ffikon, enable the casinos to operate from 2025 to 2044. However, Swiss Casinos faced a setback as they did not receive a license for Oftringen and did not apply for one in Casino Schaffhausen, which will cease operations by the end of next year. Employees from Schaffhausen have the opportunity to transfer to other Swiss Casinos locations or the new casino in Winterthur.<\/p>\n

Despite the disappointment in Oftringen, the company expressed satisfaction with the trust shown by the federal government in granting the new licenses. The licensing process, acknowledged by company officials as challenging, reflects the company\u2019s commitment to high standards in its operations.<\/p>\n

The Swiss Federal Gaming Commission (SFBC) proposed dividing the country into 23 gaming zones, which the Federal Council approved. The Council retained the right to make licensing decisions, provided they aligned with the Gambling Act. This policy impacted Swiss Casinos\u2019 bid for a license in Oftringen, located in the Basel area, where another casino is already operational. The government\u2019s decision to reject the bid was understood and accepted by the company, despite their initial hopes for a positive outcome.<\/p>\n

In contrast, the Winterthur casino represents a significant achievement for Swiss Casinos. Set in the Lokstadt hall, it promises to blend the area\u2019s industrial heritage with modern casino culture, adding a unique dimension to the region\u2019s development.<\/p>\n

The St. Gallen area presented another challenge, where the Federal Council had to choose between Swiss Casinos and ACE Holding. Ultimately, Swiss Casinos\u2019 existing presence and reputation in the region led to their selection.<\/p>\n
