Iasi and Sibiu join group of Romanian gambling-free municipalities

Local councilors in Iasi unanimously approved the ''No Slot Machines'' project during an extraordinary meeting, which took place on Monday, April 27, thus banning slot machine gambling within the municipality. Iasi becomes the latest of Romanian municipalities to join the group of gambling-free localities, after the central government has decentralised the decision on this matter.

The project to ban slot machine gambling halls in Iași was launched in public debate on March 3, at the initiative of mayor Mihai Chirica.
