Projections indicate a 70% growth in the online gambling sector in Mexico, as outlined by analysts. The anticipated expansion over the next three years is attributed to a governmental decree that restricts the issuance of new licenses for brick-and-mortar casinos and the renewal of existing permits for slot machines.
Miguel Angel Ochoa, the president of the Association of Operators and Suppliers of Entertainment and Gambling (AIEJA), expressed concerns about the authorities' decision, raising uncertainties about the establishment of new casinos in the country. Consequently, it is expected that a significant portion of gamers will shift their focus to the online gaming sector.
