The ellaboration of the changes in the Law of Tourism will be part of a meeting of the government party, PAIS, planned for last Friday, said Cordero, who said that the norm has to point clearly what can be done in Ecuador in the name of gaming.
From the government side, the Ministry of Tourism, Verónica Sion, will be invited for the ellaboration of the project, but the most important thing -added Cordero – is that there is a difference between the meaning of gambling in the country, or to have all the money of the world to do crimes that are now being investigated in the district attorney, “which is to bring money to keep on doing whatever they like, in the name of the game”.
Cordero commented that the gaming activity must be part of a healthy entertainment, and considered that casinos are for wealthy people and not for people with economic problems.
“The poor, which do not have money to eat, play with slots, so the sense of free time is being distorted, and then there are signs that show that those businesses win a lot and collect a lot of money but pay low taxes, so there are a series of irregularities,” pointed the head of the chamber of legislators.
