Fernando Calderón, chairman of the Peruvian National Gaming Industry Association (Sonaja), said that the industry is waiting for the government to initiate the fourth phase of economic recovery and the Ministry of Health approves a health agreement to resume its operations.
Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Peru’s gaming industry’s revenue has plummeted in the past six months, causing the country to lose 150 million soles in taxes.
Calderón pointed out that Peru’s gaming industry pays 400 million soles to the state each year, of which 310 million soles are handed over to the provincial and regional municipal governments, as well as the Peruvian Sports Institute and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism. The remaining 90 million soles are optional consumption taxes ( ISC).

But since the casino closed on March 16, security guards, receptionists and operators, as well as slot machine technicians and experts have been unemployed because they have no commercial income, nor any support from the Peruvian government or tourism authorities.
