state that the game betting part of the parlor was licensed. Nothing about the slots.
A new law NUmber 139-11 , Article 2 went into effect in the D.R. and the slots that were not
licensed were removed and destroyed by the Government. Owners of the illegal slots faced a fine
of $1,000.00 U.S. dollars, 6 months to 2 years in jail.
There was an outcry as many stores claimed they were not aware of the new law and the government
gave a 10 extension to obtain a license, pay taxes, and a yearly fee of about 20,000 pesos.
However a number of the slot machines were destroyed.
I am glad to hear that new machines are been brought in and they will have the sticker so that the
inspectors don't confiscate them. I just wonder how many were confiscated and destroyed.
I find it hard to be accused of not having proof and not been told of not having proof of what?
Everything I post, I can back it up with press releases or the names of government officials I have spoken to. I can supply names, address and telephone number if the accusation comes from a company official. I also would expect an apology afterwards.
