Tender announced for seven casinos in the Province of Buenos Aires
The president of the Provincial Institute of Lottery and Casinos, Gonzalo Atanasof, signed a resolution that initiates the bidding process for seven casinos located in different parts of the province, which have so far been operating under an extension of their concession.
“This is a fundamental step for the modernization and competitiveness of the province’s casinos, as part of a commitment made together with the province,” stated Atanasof, adding, “We are not only seeking to ensure the continuity of workers and improve their working conditions but also to attract investments that will help capitalize on the tourism and entertainment potential of each venue.”
With this new bidding process, the goal is for bidders to invest in building improvements, modernize the gaming floors and slot machine offerings, and develop competitive entertainment spaces with culinary and entertainment options available year-round.
A 20-year exploitation period is anticipated, with the possibility of extending for an additional year. The opening of bids is scheduled for July 8 at 12:00 PM at the central office of the Institute of Lottery and Casinos.
The tender is for the casinos in Necochea, Miramar, Tandil, Sasso, Hermitage, Mar de Ajó, and Sierra de la Ventana. Shortly before the announcement the lottery extended the contracts between the agency and the company Boldt S.A. regarding its operation of six of these locations (all except the Necochea casino which is currently in a state of disrepair). Through resolution 407 the Institute approved a new extension until December 31, 2025, or until the new contract with the winning bidders in the corresponding process comes into effect, whichever occurs first.
