At the last council meeting, politicians have been debating the request of the public service manager of the casino. Indeed, the facility director has indicated that the overall economic, financial and accounting casino Cauterets was critical. Therefore, the working committee charged with reviewing the file suggested to council members to adopt accompanying measures to redress. The proposed measure would be to rent a suspension of over two months, renewable subject to conditions and limited to the maximum period of one year. Which means, ultimately, to equitable relief in rents of about € 60,000 over the year, which will not go back into the coffers of the town. Of the 13 members present, only Alain Larroudé opposed that decision, arguing that “the operator does not show a real commitment to meet the expectations of the community in return for the efforts previously provided.” According to him, even if times are tough, many shops in the town are struggling and do not rely on public assistance. Not opposed to helping the institution in this period, the deputy mayor ends state “that such financial assistance is deserved.”

Vitry-le-François (Marne). The union Der continues to work on the casino project Giffaumont. The casino operator who answered the call for tenders now have two months to develop a project.

ACCORDING local elected officials, two casino groups have responded to the call for tenders issued last December by the union of Der.

By obtaining the delegation of public service given by the union, they build and operate the casino for a period of 20 years.

Two candidates

“After reviewing applications, we developed a specification more precise,” explains Thierry Cherriere, director of the Union of Der. This document addresses issues such as the casino equipment, we want the animation, the technical side of the building and its place in the overall development of the ZAC Rougememer.

This notebook has been forwarded to casino operator who answered the call for tenders. The latter now have three months (until June 23) to develop a project that reflects the wishes of the union, or withdraw. “They need to work with an architect, they make an economic study finer than ours on the assumptions of attendance and revenue potential. They must also present their financing plan, propose ideas for activities, “says Thierry Cherriere.

A two-month trading

A component “negotiation” will open between operators and the community. “This phase may last one or two months warns Thierry Cherriere. It is the DSP board of the union committee that will review the projects It will be tough for this negotiation, we will be assisted by the firms that follow us from the beginning: the lawyers of CLL Counsel and the Office of Public Service 2000 because studies we do not necessarily have all the skills to analyze the proposals of the operators and formulate proposals-cons. ”

The DSP board should meet on several occasions during the summer to offer choice to all of the union committee in September 2011.

The growing field of gambling is in the sights of the authorities. A judge banned the lottery play sports let the unemployed and the states want to regulate the use of slot machines.

This branch does not know the crisis. Last year, entrepreneurs in the sector slot machines have achieved a turnover of 3 billion euros. For example, the firm of Paul Gauselmann, nicknamed the “king of bandits” made a profit up 22% year on year. An era of prosperity at risk from the back of his medal.

Most are found in breweries

Because the number of addicted to the game progresses in parallel: they are 600,000, a figure steadily rising. 80% of them say that slot machines are responsible for their addiction. “The controllers sharpen addiction” said Ilona Fuschenmittler association “addicted to the game” “you can bet every five seconds, there’s light noise and the buttons that give the player the impression that it can take control of the machine. ”

In Germany, most of these bandits are not located in casinos, where addicts can be denied entry, but in breweries. Directly accessible to customers without any control of the tenants. “Banning the automata would be unrealistic but we must make them less addictive: it’s an emergency” Wovereit Klaus insists the mayor of Berlin.

The capital has seen a proliferation of gambling halls and casinos like mushrooms. The Ordnungsamt, the government department that issues licenses in 523 and count the number of controllers has doubled in five years.

To combat this scourge, the states want to organize the response. If the lottery and sports paris is within their control, games of chance are the responsibility of the state that collects taxes in profit.

The division of responsibilities could change with the renegotiation of the “contract of gambling” at the end of the year between the state and the Länder. The Länder want to retrieve the setting for “the state ensures its evil duty to monitor gamblers and their debt problems,” according Wovereit.

Prohibits long-term unemployed

Meeting in Berlin, Ministers presidents have proposed to regulate the use of ATMs. With concrete proposals: the time spacing between the stakes and lowering the threshold for possible losses in one hour 80 euros to 45 euros. Protect the poorest consumers has also led to the decision of a judge of Cologne.

In the Land of North Rhine Westphalia, it is now prohibited from tellers to cash paris sports bets long-term unemployed. A fine of 250,000 euros threat “if the money wagered is clearly not commensurate with the income of the player, depending on the reasons for the decision. An assessment difficult to implement in practice.

“We do not know how our staff will be able to ask a client if Hartz IV (long-term unemployed)” asks the spokesperson for the group Westlotto: “it is often very difficult to guess.”

Since 2005, employees of the Casino de Crans-Montana are not at the party. Unfair dismissals, injuries and sick leave are their daily lot. lematin.ch investigation.

You work at the Casino de Crans-Montana? No more. Since October 2005, the group Partouche who applies his “management”. Business side, nobody complains. Since 2006, the property a huge 25% profit. This class Crans-Montana in Switzerland’s first casino.

It even reached 90% in 2008. The tribunal of Zion, files stacked by the dozen. According to documents in our possession more than thirty cases have been treated to date, corresponding to more than 300 000 francs in compensation payments to avoid judgments.

This situation, Fernand Nanchen, member of the board and speaking on behalf of management, do not deny. “It was a management system that was not adapted to the situation. We were not aware. When we knew what had happened, the tone is mounted. “Consistent with the Labour Inspectorate and the Federal gambling houses (CFMJ), he claims to have made the household since January 2010. “We ordered some real changes. Vis-à-vis former employees, we have fulfilled our responsibilities to the end. Now things are clear and settled, “he said.

Insults in front of customers

Not sure. From 2010, the new management did retrench. But she arranges for employees to make their own door. June 2010, a “group of employees’ express their ras-le-bol. In an open letter to various officials of the Board and “Le Matin” holds, it is deeply concerned the new CEO and his girlfriend, also the director. “We feel constantly weighing the threat,” they write. Dealers, according to the letter, were insulted in front of customers, “You’re bad. You are useless. You stink, go wash your … “The letter of complaint continues:” The majority of staff looking for another job or is off work, 80% of staff are under tranquilizer. Physicians in Upper Plateau sign certificates that indicate strength that the only possible cure is to leave the casino immediately.

End of 2010, the departures of employees reach their forties. “But the casino is also a very particular universe. All casinos in Switzerland face such difficulties, yet tempers Nanchen Fernand. Today, the casino unveils profits of 2010. Last year there were ten million distributed to many partners: the municipalities of Haut-Plateau State, the Foundation’s Casino. We’ll see if the year 2011 will benefit more from other humans

Today, sparkles in the eye glasses scales. The hair is more salt than pepper. And heart, hidden beneath the pin or vest, is still sensitive by adrenaline, but has seen others. One has only to enter any casino in the afternoon to realize: it’s like the club Good Times! Everywhere, older, calm, focused, finger welded to the machine.
