Commented Ed Andrewes, Owner of EAGC, lead consultant to Resort Digital Gaming: “We originally designed FastPick to accommodate every sports fan who wanted to get a slice of the action but didn’t have the time to compete effectively against those predatory DFS sharks.

“Now, in an evolving sports betting landscape, this fast-growing, easy-access take on head-to-head betting fuses the best of sportsbook props and DFS with some towering jackpots. Our players just love taking on the house in a series of one-on-one performance markets, featuring the superstars of US sports. We’re thrilled to be bringing the next generation of fantasy sports betting home to Resorts.”

Se abre consulta pública de bases técnicas para otorgamiento de permisos de operación de casinos municipales

La Superintendencia de Casinos de Juego (SCJ) publicó, para comentarios de la industria e interesados en general, las bases técnicas del Proceso de Otorgamiento de Permisos de Operación para Casinos de Juego, que regirán la próxima asignación de los casinos municipales en las comunas de Arica, Iquique, Coquimbo, Viña del Mar, Pucón, Puerto Varas y Natales. Posteriormente a esta fase de consulta, que se extenderá hasta el 24 de abril próximo, se deberán aprobar las bases definitivas para dar inicio formal al proceso.

Este proceso es el primero que se realiza bajo la ley Nº 20.856, vigente desde agosto de 2015, que modifica la antigua ley de casinos Nº 19.995; además, -con el nuevo cuerpo legal- se incorporan las siete concesiones municipales al proceso de fiscalización de la Superintendencia, lo que implica un aumento de un 28% de la industria regulada.

“Bajo este nuevo marco legal se reducen los espacios de discrecionalidad al momento de entregar los permisos, por lo que esperamos lograr procesos objetivos, transparentes y que garanticen la mayor recaudación de ingresos para el Fisco, las regiones y las comunas”, explicó Daniel García, Superintendente de Casinos de Juego (T y P).

Los ejes sobre los cuales se articula el proceso, que son el espíritu de la nueva ley, son garantizar una mayor recaudación, máxima transparencia y objetividad en la asignación. Esto se consigue mediante la adjudicación a la oferta económica más alta, procesos claros tanto en sus formatos como en la metodología de evaluación y causas de exclusiones, criterios transparentes, fijación de una oferta mínima garantizada, continuidad operacional de los casinos y audiencias públicas.
