in small businesses and shops. However revenues look likely to increase considerably long term due to a major new change to the gaming landscape which looks increasingly likely to go into effect at the end of this year. This is because from 2016 the seven so called “municipal casinos” will come under the supervision of the Chilean Gaming Board.

In 2005 Chile passed a gaming law which allowed for the construction of eighteen additional casinos to the seven municipal casinos already in operation. The licence for the seven other casinos in Chile ends on 31 December 2015. The casinos which were already licensed before the new act come under the supervision of the local municipalities where they are located and are a vital source of funding. However, from the beginning of 2016 the seven casinos will come under the supervision of the Chilean Gaming Board and the tax will be split equally between the local municipality and the central government.
