Fresh regulations covering sports betting have been published which will bring Andalucia into line with most of the other 17 Spanish territories. The draft regulation will take most of the rest of this year to go through the processes before becoming law. When it does, however, it will permit the largest retail sports betting market in the country.
The regulation also provides for sports betting online and on mobile devices within Andalucia. Gaming will be enabled in betting “corners” in casinos, bingo halls and in arcades, as well as some betting offices and in some bars and cafes. The latter category will not be comprehensive but will depend upon other criteria, and the industry expects around 20 per cent of the current bars with AWP machines will be able to carry sports betting.
It is expected, however, that around 5,000 betting terminals could go into the current bars and cafes AWP market.
Electronic bingo is also featured in the Andalucia proposals. It is expected that electronic bingo will be able to be played in bingo halls through terminals or tablets within the clubs or connected with other halls through a network.
