Denmark May End State Gambling MonopolyNew Alliance Party Proposes Abolition of Danske Spil's Monopoly |
|
The Copenhagen Post today reported that the government and New Alliance party in Denmark is proposing the end of state gaming operator Danske Spil’s monopoly in the country in the wake of an EU Commission lawsuit against the country.
Government representative Anders Samuelsen says there is little point in continuing to protect the monopoly as it will almost certainly be lost in the face of the EU action anyway.
The newspaper reports Samuelson as saying “Either the commission will come and take it away, or the monopoly will over time lose its footing as more players seek markets abroad. We must be able to guarantee that the money is still available and by selling licences to international gaming companies, a new source of income will be established."
Danske Spil has been the sole official gaming operator in the country since 1949.
