The Hellenic Gaming Commission (EEEP) shut down the casinos in Rio and Alexandroupolis due to debts to Social Security Fund EFKA. The casinos will remain closed for two months.
According to an EFKA report, the Rio casino had overdue contributions arrears of €25 million euros, while the Alexandroupoli casino owed €12.5 million.
The EEP has also decided to impose fines on the casinos of Corfu and Loutraki, amounting to 75,000 and 5,000 euros respectively.
The fines imposed are proportionate to their debts to EFKA until the end of last year. Meanwhile, the two facilities managed to settle their debts before the EEF hearing on Thursday, thus escaping to penalty to have their licenses revoked.
