TITLE: Italy's Customs and Monopolies Agency Seizes Irregular Gaming Machines and Issues Enforcement Penalties BODY: On August 3, 2026, Italy's Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli (ADM) concluded an enforcement operation in Padova that resulted in the administrative seizure of 14 irregular gaming machines and the imposition of administrative sanctions totalling €56,000. The ADM's Veneto 5 office conducted the operation in July at a gaming venue located in a shopping centre in Padova province. The intervention was planned based on risk analysis and territorial monitoring activities as part of the agency's broader efforts to combat illegality in the public gaming sector. During inspections, ADM personnel identified technical and administrative violations affecting 14 of the 30 gaming machines present at the venue. These machines, commonly known as "comma 7" machines (gaming machines without cash payouts), were found to be non-compliant with requirements established under applicable regulations. ADM ordered the administrative seizure of all 14 non-compliant machines and issued administrative penalties totalling €56,000 to the venue operator. ADM is conducting additional investigations to verify the operator's compliance with fiscal obligations related to entertainment tax and value-added tax (VAT). The operation reflects ADM's ongoing surveillance and enforcement activities designed to ensure compliance with gaming sector regulations, protect consumers, and maintain fair competition among gaming operators. These enforcement actions form part of ADM's systematic approach to combating unlicensed and irregular gaming activities across Italy's territories.
