The outcome of the casino tender was positive for the Violas family group, which paid out €1.2 billion in prizes in 2025.

The President of the Republic promulgated on Monday the decree-law that extends by three months the concession contracts for the casinos in the Algarve, Espinho and Póvoa de Varzim, “noting that the prime minister did not take part in the deliberation”.

The three-month extension is justified by the required formalities, since the process of awarding new concessions has not yet been completed. The preliminary qualification phase has already been concluded.
