On August 6, 2026, Italy's Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli (ADM) published Nota 543027, which simplifies procedures for the maintenance of gaming machines regulated under Article 110, Paragraph 6, Letter a) of the Consolidated Text on Public Security Laws (TULPS). The update addresses the streamlining of administrative processes related to gaming machine maintenance, building on previous guidance issued through Circolare 1/Giochi/ADI/2008 (February 25, 2008). The simplification introduces new management flows for the replacement of gaming cards in automated gaming machines (AWP). These procedural changes reduce administrative burden for operators responsible for maintaining gaming equipment in compliance with Italian gambling regulations. The note represents ADM's continued effort to modernise gaming machine administration by establishing clearer, more efficient protocols for equipment maintenance and card replacement. This development affects gaming machine operators and maintenance service providers operating in Italy's regulated gambling sector. The simplified procedures are now in effect as of the publication date. Operators should review the updated guidance to ensure compliance with the new management flows for gaming card replacements and related maintenance activities. **Reference:** Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli, Nota n. 543027 del 06/08/2026
