Last week ended the Panamanian fair that unsuccessfully aims to put the Panamanian game on the radar of the World industry and to carry out this event that does not advance nor seem to go anywhere. Of course, this is not the fault of the organization Monographies promoter of the event that does its best, is rather the fault of a management bought and the payroll of the only two companies that monopolize the game in the isthmus.

The JCJ or board of control of games of Panama in head of Erick Ríos does everything possible to avoid the entrance of any new competitor and covers them the back with the entrance tax to the business that rounds the Millions of dollars to apply to a license of casino

…that must save dozens of obstacles and corrupt officials who interpret the law of random way, to be able to see the light two years after having initiated the process.

With machines on the street or type B, more so-called "the gold of the fools" make sure that no one can grow as the top of the top prize of 300 Balboas (or what is the same: dollars) and the high tax Round USD 145 make a successful operation in the long run, because before they started they had to buy the famous "plates" or identification plates to be able to exploit each machine and that, if necessary, Rios repeats without explanation. Overnight, via resolution with arguments drawn from where no one expected and are assigned to someone else who paid up to USD 250,000 to have them, where does the money? To the coffers of the state, surely not.

Many are the news about the fall of the collections by the JCJ and the gambling industry in Panama by the tax 5% to the winner of any prize is whatever amount (which discourages the game as the players there say That when they lose they should return that same percentage of the bet), but this fall is not real, it is part of an elaborate pantomime orchestrated by the ASAJA (Association of Administrators of Games of Chance) to remove and to break the small businessmen.

This is not a model worthy of imitation because the Monopoly has made a country that has great potential in this area is stagnant and that is what shows a Fair and without movement.

Coljuegos in Colombia does not seem to have taken this model, thank God and that is why the opening to new markets and the inclusion of all who want to enter the market make Colombia news.
