In other news, the Government Council of Cantabria approved the extension for five more years of the suspension for the granting of licenses for the operation of type B1 and B5 recreational machines. The measure will remain in effect until at least 2029 and includes prize machines installed in bars, cafés, restaurants, and gaming halls.
The extension will come into effect starting October 31, the date on which the current regulation expires. With this decision, Cantabria restricts the granting of new licenses, a policy that has been maintained for almost two decades.
The Senate's Youth Commission unanimously approved a motion from the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), with three amendments from the Popular Party (PP), urging the government to strengthen control measures on gaming among youth and adolescents.
