The Homologation of Casino slots Machines in Colombia is added another wolf: IGT the multinational that came out of bankruptcy 5 years ago for the acquisition that made the Italian G-tech owns 67% and is the operator of the Baloto in Colombia and of similar games in various countries of the globe.

At the beginning of July, ValorAnalitik brokerage company published the fall in sales of the popular game, which was immediately replicated by newspapers such as Portafolio.co and El Tiempo, giving an account of the low acceptance among the bettors of the rematch modality, who blame the disaster.

For the business world, it is not a mystery that both the Baloto operator and the one that commercializes the Slots are two different heads but of the same giant; and it is there where they loudly promote (according to the article in the 2orillas) that "An Italian the owner of the Baloto and the slots in Colombia".

You do not need to know much, after reading the homologation project disguised with the name of "reliability requirements of the slots" or as published by Coljuegos in your twitter account, I do not know if it was a slip because of lack of communication between your dependencies: "Technical Requirements Electronic Slots Machines " that your interest is to deliver the monopoly to a single company, technically removing all (os) us (os) with a proposal that is nothing more than the adaptation of how the Baloto terminals work , but applied to casino machines, something impossible to fulfill even by Manuel del Sol who is the driver of this crazy idea that obviously will not be possible to meet by existing and future equipment.

Or I can think of something: they are diverting our attention so that we forget that taxes have not decreased and that the regulator is determined to justify it for any reason and at all costs. Arguing among other things that the Online is producing "a lot" for the type of control exercised; if so, will Juan B's advisory team not understand for a second that they are different moments in the history of the game in Colombia? What are two different ways to bet? What are two different scenarios? That you can not ask a slot machine to behave like an online game?

This is what IGT meant when it said in the interview to portafolio.co that "positive and innovative mechanisms have been evaluated to evolve the game options, which are being evaluated by our regulator Coljuegos". As Carlos Mario said "Retaliation or pressure from foreign companies, judge you" ...
