Andorra’s gaming regulator Consell Regulador Andorrà del Joc (CRAJ) has once again rejected the plans to award its sole casino license to Jocs SA, a firm primarily involved in managing bingo halls. Jocs had pledged to build a €15m, 4000-square-meter casino in the capital Andorra la Vella.

One year ago, the CRAJ withdrew Jocs’ casino concession based on “deficiencies” in Jocs’ paperwork, a decision that Jocs chose to appeal last June. However, the CRAJ once again concluded that there were “significant differences between the initial commitments and the final project.”

Jocs announced that it will appeal to this latest rejection within the prescribed 30-day window.
