Senate Passes Amendments to Casino Gaming Legislation

Amendments to the Casino Gaming Legislation were passed in the Upper House last week Friday, but not without concerns from the opposition.

According to the government, the 11-year-old Act is being amended to further stimulate economic growth amid the COVID-19 pandemic, by delivering more investments and jobs in the casino industry.

The opposition is of the view that a more robust consultation process is needed, as the proposed amendments are insufficient.
