In Argentina local lottery organizations are in charge of gaming licensing for casinos and bingos and in the North Western province of Chaco, Loteria Chaqueña has announced that from next March 28 both local and foreign companies can buy the tender documents to bid for three casinos, in the municipal districts of Charata, Castelli y General San Martín.

During the presentation of the tender programme, the governor for the province, Jorge Milton Capitanich, said that the winning bids should allow royalties in favour of the province of 30-33%. He emphasised that if private operators failed to come to terms with Loteria Chaqueña's expectations, the casinos would be operated by this organization on a private basis.

Juan Manuel Pedrini, managing director of Loteria Chaqueña, said that his organisation will take charge of Hotel Casino Gualok, in the district of Presidencia Roque Saenz Peña, with support from a fellow lottery organization vastly experienced in the management of Argentina’s state-owned casinos. Pedrini said that to operate the property service contracts had already been signed with a local technology company to supply online control equipment. (E-02.22.08)
