Timișoara interzice autorizarea jocurilor de noroc. Sălile existente se vor închide cel târziu anul viitor

The mayor of Timișoara, Dominic Fritz, announced a ban on gambling establishments, allowing only lottery activities. The local council unanimously approved this decision, which will lead to the closure of existing gambling venues as their licenses expire. The initiative is supported by local parliament members and aims to redirect funds towards education. The president of the Timiș County Council, Alfred Simonis, emphasized the importance of prioritizing education over gambling. Previously, Timișoara had 173 authorized gambling locations.
