\n

In a move to curb gambling activities, Prague city council gave the green light to a comprehensive ban on all technical gambling games within the capital in September 2020. This ban encompasses slot machines and applies to all venues, regardless of their licensing status.<\/p>\n

Scheduled for full enforcement in 2024, the ban allowed existing venues to continue offering technical games until the expiration of their licenses, with some extending into this year. However, reports from Prague reveal a gradual removal of slot machines from venues since the beginning of the year, with a few still operational until late January.<\/p>\n

iGB\u2019s inquiry with the gambling regulation department confirmed that the ban officially took effect on January 1st, rendering slot<\/a> machine play illegal in Prague. Department director Martin \u0160abo highlighted that enforcement efforts began as early as 2021, although venues with longer licenses were granted a grace period.<\/p>\n

While land-based slot machines are prohibited within Prague, licensed venues outside the capital can still legally offer them.<\/p>\n

Online Slots Remain Accessible<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Contrary to the ban on land-based slots, online gambling remains unaffected in Prague. However, a recent decree not only initiated the ban on physical machines but also updated regulations surrounding online gambling activities.<\/p>\n
