Hungarian government takes new step to boost revenue from gambling...

According to the news published last week, the Hungarian government is planning to launch 10 closed tenders for opening casinos in 10 cities outside of Budapest.

They argue that due to the ban of slot machines outside of casinos, the revenues of the existing casinos skyrocketed and many former players have turned to illegal gambling (illegal slots + online gambling) from which the state gets no revenue.

They now would like these 10 new casinos to generate taxes and would like closed tenders arguably for state security reasons.
