The number of gambling halls in Giurgiu has decreased significantly due to local tax measures, dropping from 42 to 24. Local councilors noted that increased costs and taxes have made it difficult for operators to remain profitable and attract customers. Despite the decline, several new operating licenses were approved during a recent council meeting. The local tax authority reported over 1.6 million lei collected from these establishments until the end of last month. Council members expressed concerns about the sustainability of gambling operations under the current fiscal conditions.
