The Mexican Association of Gaming and Entertainment Industry Licensees, Operators and Suppliers (AIEJA) called for establishing a clear distinction between the regulated gaming industry and clandestine operations that operate outside the law.
Support for Federal Operations
AIEJA expressed its support for actions taken by the Mexican federal government, which confiscated more than 3,000 illegal slot machines in the State of Mexico through Operation Dos de Bastos. Authorities are analyzing the possibility of extending these operations to other states across the country.
According to the association, these clandestine machines operate outside the Federal Gaming and Lottery Law, without oversight from the Secretary of the Interior (Segob), and are linked to organized crime networks.
Distinction Between Legal and Illegal Operations
AIEJA emphasized that so-called “slot machines” are not part of the formal gaming sector. The regulated industry remains committed to compliance with current regulations and the prevention of money laundering.
This position seeks to protect the reputation of authorized operators and clearly differentiate licensed casinos from establishments operating illegally.
