Canary Islands advisory council backs new gaming map allowing up to 30 B machines in bingos
By The Weekly Edge desk ·
Summary
The Canary Islands Consultative Council has issued a broadly favourable opinion (Dictamen 317/2026) on a draft decree consolidating gaming planning into one instrument. The draft lets bingo halls operate up to 26 B1, B2 and B3 machines, rising to a ceiling of 30 depending on capacity, and caps the region at 422 gaming arcades, 45 bingo halls, 35 external betting shops, 12 casinos and seven racecourses. The Council raised observations on provisional machine approval, raffles, the extension of the planning period and the prohibited persons register.
Why it matters
The draft sets bingo machine ceilings alongside venue caps, defining proposed operating capacity under the Canary Islands’ gaming plan.
