Enjoy Group Withdraws Casino License Application in Chile

The Chilean Gaming Authority, the Superintendence of Casinos of Chile (SCJ), has declared that gambling firm Operaciones el Escorial SA has pulled back its request for a casino operating permit in the Antofagasta area.

Operaciones el Escorial SA is a branch of the Enjoy Group, established in 2008.

The operator retracted its application in a communication to the SCJ.

Following this, the regulatory body issued a ruling on May 4th, formally withdrawing the application of Operaciones el Escorial SA.

Operaciones el Escorial SA sought the permit as part of the SCJ’s casino license renewal process, which commenced in September 2021.

After the initiation of the process, the SCJ granted operating permits to Enjoy San Antonio and Enjoy Santiago hotels in the Valparaiso region.

Numerous operators submitted applications for licenses or license renewals before the February 22, 2022 cutoff.

The assessment of these proposals will conclude on June 23.

The SCJ stated it will continue to assess 12 other applicants who submitted applications in October and November 2021, and in January of this year.
