On April 13, 2026, the Danish Gambling Authority (Spillemyndigheden) announced that MG Automater ApS has accepted a fine of DKK 6,000 for breaching Danish gambling legislation. The operator committed two separate breaches. First, MG Automater ApS failed to comply in a timely manner with an order issued by the Danish Gambling Authority on October 29, 2025, constituting a breach of section 59(5)(9) of the Consolidation Act on Gambling no. 1182 of September 22, 2025. Second, the operator used a slot machine after the mandatory five-year inspection deadline had expired, breaching section 16(1) of Executive Order no. 1289 of November 29, 2019 on slot machines in gambling arcades and restaurants. The decision was made in accordance with section 49a of the Consolidation Act on Gambling. MG Automater ApS accepted the fine on April 7, 2026. This enforcement action demonstrates the Danish Gambling Authority's commitment to ensuring operators comply with inspection requirements and regulatory orders within prescribed timeframes. The case is relevant to gambling operators in Denmark, particularly those operating slot machines in arcades and restaurants, as it clarifies enforcement expectations regarding maintenance of inspection schedules and timely compliance with regulatory directives. **Reference:** Danish Gambling Authority (Spillemyndigheden) – MG Automater ApS fined for breach of the gambling legislation
