Slots and pachinko owners have fear of games that the player don't win Money ......


The week is heading towards its conclusion with a real earthquake that is upsetting the sector of LAN rooms, simulation centers and eSports in Italy.
Today, April 30, the owners of the simulation centers and the LAN and eSports rooms woke up with their own activities under their own initiative at the behest of the Excise, Customs and Monopoly Agency (ADM) . The decision was allegedly taken after a complaint from an entrepreneur ( available here ), who accused them of competing with traditional arcades without, however, respecting their regulations and procedures. Specifically, the targets of the exhibit are all those places where it is possible to play for a fee without however being able to earn from the game session. According to the accusation, these premises use computers, consoles and peripherals that are not approved and therefore not controlled, unlike the machines that are used in traditional arcades, which require controls and onerous costs to be used.
Among others, the Esport Palace of Bergamo and PC Teklab Milano , who, through their social channels, witnessed the affixing of seals on their equipment by ADM to be promoters of the disclosure of the news. In light of this, they will have to remain closed until further notice .
The Excise, Customs and Monopoly Agency clarifies the situation with Circular No. 14 of 26 April 2022 , available at this address . The ADM explains that "the making available free of charge in premises open to the public of the equipment referred to in art. 110, paragraph 7, of the TULPS does not exempt from the obligation to comply with the provisions in force and from the payment of the related tax" . Therefore, the owners of the establishments who have installed and made available, even free of charge, devices with no cash prizes (therefore including eSport rooms, LAN rooms and simulation centers) must ensure that they are:
  • subjected to homologation / certification,
  • equipped with authorizing qualifications,
  • subject to payment of the Entertainment Tax (ISI).
The circular also explains that the deadline for submitting the application for the issue / replacement of the permit for the appliances was set for today 30 April, therefore all owners who have not provided for the approval and / or certification of their appliances by means of the payment of the authorization title incurred in the seizure of their machines. In other words, they must comply with current regulations . More details can be found in Circular No. 14 of April 26, 2022 .

What a nonsensical claim, in this case they should shut down any professional sports too because they have costs to participate and can earn money with it. So if you twist it in that way is also competing with playing in a slot machine or in any other casino game.
