Chile’s Superintendence of Gaming Casinos (SCJ) received bids solely for casino operations in Pucón and Coquimbo, while licensing rounds for Viña del Mar and Iquique drew no bidders, the regulatory body reported.
Bidders Submitted for Pucón and Coquimbo
Casino Volcán Pucón S.A., a company formed by former Enjoy executives, submitted a bid for the Pucón casino. Meanwhile, Casino de Juegos de Coquimbo S.A., controlled by the Octium fund, bid for the Coquimbo operation.
Technical evaluation of both proposals will take up to 120 days, during which the SCJ will analyze the requirements and conditions presented by the bidders.
New Process for Uncontested Licenses
Due to the absence of bidders for Viña del Mar and Iquique, the SCJ will launch a new licensing process for these municipalities. The regulator will evaluate and redefine tender terms to make them more attractive and viable for potential operators.
This outcome reflects the challenges facing Chile’s gaming market, where operating and regulatory conditions directly influence investor interest in participating in concession processes.
