 Gaming Board to destroy 80 Slot Machines destined to unlicensed casino

The Gaming Board of Tanzania will today Friday, 2nd November, 2012 destroy 80 slot machines imported illegally into the country. The gambling machines were destined to be used for gambling purposes at premises along Haile Salassie Road in Dar es Salaam.

A company known as Rustania Ltd, owned by Russian nationalities, had applied for a casino licence way back in May, 2012. They wanted to operate casino business at Plot No. 201 along Haile Salassie Road. While performing preliminary investigations, the Board came to find out that the applicant had imported slot machines without the approval of the Board.

Movement and importation of gambling machines are controlled activities under the provisions of Gaming Act, Cap. 41 and its Regulations. Gambling machines imported contrary to the requirement of the law are deemed to be illegal machines.

Gaming equipment including gambling machines must be tested against minimum technical standards to ascertain their suitability for public play. These machines were not tested to conform to the standards. It was against that ground and other compliance issues Rustania’s application was duly refused by the Board at its 84th Board Meeting held on 28th September, 2012.

Following the refusal, the Board will take possession of the machines and destroy them today. This exercise of destroying these machines sends strong message to whoever is involved with gaming business or intends to engage therein, not to flout gaming laws as defaulters may end up blacklisted and have their gaming equipment destroyed. Tanzania is a regulated gaming jurisdiction.

It is the first time that illegal gaming machines are found and destined for destruction in the country since the inception of gaming industry in 2003. These slot machines are valued at TZS. 380 million.
