(Adnkronos) - Arriva da Marco Zega, direttore Affari istituzionali & sviluppo business di Codere Italia, a margine di “In nome della legalità”, l’appuntamento organizzato da Codere Italia a Lecce, l’appello agli Enti locali e al governo a prestare attenzione al settore e a “trovare normative equilibrate che tengano conto di tutti gli interessi in gioco: l'interesse alla salute, attraverso la prevenzione del gioco minorile o del gioco patologico, ma anche quello della tutela delle attività economiche esistenti”

00:00In the last few years, studies have shown that Italy has about 150,000 addicts.
00:13Most of them are in the retail sector, that is, in the physical exercises sector.
00:20Unfortunately, due to the restrictions imposed by many local entities, many regions and many municipalities,
00:29in recent years many jobs have been lost.
00:34In a recent study by the CGA of Mestre, it was estimated that between 2023 and 2019,
00:417,578 jobs were lost in this sector.
00:47This is due to the shift from the physical sector to the online sector,
00:53where the number of occupants is obviously much smaller than the physical sector.
00:58Therefore, it is very important to continue to protect the legal game in the exercises,
01:04such as salle bingo, where the number of occupants is large,
01:09also for the working shifts that must be ensured.
01:14The appeal to local entities is to find balanced regulations that take into account everyone's interests in the game,
01:20the health interest through the prevention of minor or pathological play,
01:28but also that of the protection of existing economic activities.
01:32In this sense, the regulations that the Puglia region has adopted,
01:36the municipal administrations that took place here in Lecce, are an example.
01:41We hope that even at the national level, the legislator can take into account such experiences.
01:49Now, in a particularly hot phase, because the government is working on the reform of the physical sector,
01:58the so-called reorganization, I repeat, we hope that he can take into account these experiences.
