Bulgaria’s Gambling Commission found violations of the gambling laws in over half of the casinos it inspected last month, the regulator reported Tuesday.

A total of 99 casinos were inspected in a 1 month period from February 8 – March 8, with 45 of them showing violations of the gambling laws and other irregularities.

The violations included gaming equipment and jackpot systems that were not listed in the permit for the facility and casinos allowing entry to people without requesting identity documents.

The checks were part of the ‘Owls’ operation against illegal production and trade of cigarettes and alcohol, as well as gambling activities.

Based on the Interim Monitoring Report of the European Commission, what is the best description of Bulgaria’s justice and home affairs reform?
Bulgaria has been getting the same criticism since 2007 which means hardly any progress save for a few chaotic measures.

Bulgaria has made tangible progress since it joined the EU 5 years ago.

Bulgaria’s justice and home affairs situation is actually worsening since its state and society have been failing to make progress for so long.
