The leader of the Civic Front, national senator Luis Juez, met with the councilors of the provincial capital to outline new policies after Law 10.793 was ratified throughout the Córdoba territory less than a month ago.
Argentina.- On September 19, the Córdoba Legislature ratified the validity of Law 10.793 which regulates the operation of online gambling throughout the province. In the parliamentary debate, various opposition sectors sought the repeal of the law, something that ultimately did not happen by only one vote.
Now, the leader of the opposition party Civic Front, national senator Luis Juez, met with the councilors of the city of Córdoba to «deepen the debate» on online gambling.
Juez highlighted the importance of “uniting forces to face a growing problem among the youth” and emphasized the need to establish clear and effective policies that regulate online gambling in the city of Córdoba.
On the matter, concrete actions were proposed and guidelines were established to carry out the work for the remainder of the year. For this purpose, senator Juez presented a series of guidelines that the party will follow regarding this situation and how its debate will be approached in the last quarter of the year.
However, despite bringing the topic back to the scene, the truth is that no ordinance or measure that reaches the local Legislative Power is contemplated. The emphasis will be on analyzing the compliance with the modifications introduced to Law 10.793 that will begin to be applied this month.

United States.- The iconic Tropicana Las Vegas, owned by Bally’s Corporation, was imploded yesterday (October 9) at 2:30 am local time to make way for the construction of the Oakland Athletics stadium. In 22 seconds, the two hotel towers of the complex were reduced to rubble.
The moment of the implosion of the emblematic building was accompanied by a spectacle of 555 drones and fireworks created by the visual artist Fireworks by Grucci.
Before the start of the detonation, a ceremony was held that included various authorities. Participants included the president of Bally’s Corporation, Soo Kim, the owner of Athletics, John Fisher, the general manager and vice president of hotel strategy of Tropicana Las Vegas, Arik Knowles, the CEO and president of Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), Steve Hill, and Clark County Commissioner, Jim Gibson.
Soo Kim said: “Bally’s is honored to have been part of this historic moment, saying goodbye to the iconic Tropicana. As we celebrate its legacy, we look forward to building a world-class entertainment complex, the future home of Athletics, and reinforcing Las Vegas as the ultimate sports and entertainment capital.”
For his part, John Fisher, owner of the Athletics, added: “The demolition of the Tropicana is an important milestone in the process of bringing Athletics baseball to the world-famous Las Vegas Strip and to the southern Nevada community. We hope that, over time, this site becomes a place of unforgettable experiences for game fans. We extend our gratitude to Bally’s and GLPI for their partnership as we embark together on this project.”
