The mayor of Necochea, Arturo Rojas, spoke about the upcoming tender for the slot machines at the Necochea Casino.
Argentina.- The mayor of the seaside city of Necochea, Arturo Rojas, spoke with Necochea Digital on Radio Rivadavia and highlighted the importance of the imminent call for tenders to operate slots at the Necochea Casino after it was announced that October would be the month to start accepting offers.
According to Rojas, it is expected that during this week there will be contact with the province to discuss the tender specifications, which had been postponed and he said that the tender for the slot machines “is key to the development of the casino complex, as it will attract private investors who can take over the remodeling and restructuring of the complex”.
He also added that this situation could drive an "urban development that gives a new boost to the problems that the city has been facing for decades" and highlighted that “the political decision is to move forward in this process”, and that they are in contact with the province to advance in the lottery and casinos sector.
“The goal is to find investors who can take charge of the remodeling and restructuring of the casino complex, as the municipality is not in a position to do so,” the mayor told the local radio.
The tender is considered urgent by the casino workers, who highlight that the lack of slot machines is a barrier to the arrival of private companies wanting to invest in the complex.
