Slot machine manufacturers consider Latin America to be one of the hottest markets in the world. If this is indeed the case, it is useful to ask if regional regulations are keeping the pace with Latin America’s machine revolution. Curiously, while machine sales boost and gaming revenues increase every year, not many countries in the region have adopted sophisticated regulation relating to the technical aspects of slot machines.


However, this trend seems to be changing. Chile and Peru have already started public consultations regarding new proposed technical standards that may be introduced in 2009. Recently, Colombia’s government has authorized ETESA (Colombia gaming regulatory office) to draft new machine regulation. Plans to introduce machine regulation in Argentina and Mexico are already under way.


Taking in consideration these new developments, GamblingCompliance is delighted to announce that it will be organizing a two day conference looking at the present machine compliance regulatory environment in Latin America and the new proposed regulation that could change the existent technical compliance framework.

As places are limited, register your interest today for attending this event. Once further details are available GamblingCompliance will contact you with more information about the conference, including agenda and speakers.
