Mexico – New Casino opens in Mexicali despite President’s warnings
By James - 27 March 2023
Despite the fact that the President of Mexico just announced that no new casinos would be allowed to open and that all licenses which had been granted over the last four years would be revoked a new casino has just opened in the city of Mexicali.
According to the Mexicali city council, the opening is due to an “extension of permits” to a company that already has two other gaming centres in Mexicali, one of them in the tourist area of this city and the other, in the Historic Center.
Earlier this month the mayoress of Mexicali, Norma Bustamante Martínez, stated that she would look into the president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s, recent statements regarding gambling and the licensing of casinos.
In all two new gambling halls are scheduled to open in the city of Mexicali – the capital of the state of Baja California. The two new casinos, which are already under construction, received licences last year according to Rogelio Guzmán Obispo Director of Urban Planning.
