Leaders of the Latvian party "Development/For!" sent a bill to the Ministry of Finance, which is designed to make significant changes in the work of gambling halls. According to the parliamentarians, the initiatives set out in the document will be able to significantly reduce the negative impact of casinos on the citizens of Latvia.

In particular, the deputies proposed entrusting the process of licensing operators to the National Inspection of Gambling and Lotteries. Previously, this was done by regional self-governments, which were repeatedly accused of bias and lack of transparency.

The document also contains an initiative to limit the sale of alcoholic beverages and completely ban smoking in casinos.

In addition, it is proposed to make changes to the exterior design of gambling halls - now they should not stand out too much against the backdrop of urban infrastructure. 682
