Chile’s Superintendence of Gaming Casinos (SCJ) published in the Diario Oficial on 30 April 2026 a series of exempt resolutions that modify the original tender rules for four municipal casino operating permits and reschedule the bid hearing. The notices appear in the regular section of the Treasury Ministry’s gazette listing as Resoluciones Exentas Nº 442 to 449 of 23 April 2026.
The texts published in the gazette set 11 August 2026 at 10:00 as the new date for the hearing for the submission of technical and economic offers, to be held at the SCJ’s Santiago headquarters. The schedule had originally placed the hearing on 24 July 2026 under Resolutions 113 to 116 Exempt of 23 January 2026, the acts that opened the tenders for the communes of Viña del Mar, Iquique, Coquimbo and Pucón. The change is described as an extension of twelve working days.
The four tenders cover the only municipal casinos that fell vacant after operators Enjoy and Dreams brought forward the end of their operating permits in 2025. The original technical bases were made available for download from 30 January 2026 and the SCJ had set 24 July 2026 as the deadline for submission of bids before the latest amendment.
The Acting Superintendent Eduardo Cáceres Guzmán signed each of the four 23 April resolutions in Santiago. The provision they amend is the third operative paragraph of the original tender resolutions, which specifies the date and place of the technical and economic offer hearing.
The deadline change follows a separate, more substantive amendment to the technical bases announced by the SCJ on 21 April through Resoluciones Exentas Nº 414, 415, 416 and 418, dated 20 and 21 April 2026. According to a press notice issued by the regulator, those acts modified the technical bases for each of the four casino tenders, tightened the definitions of direct shareholder, indirect shareholder and consolidated ownership, added new background requirements for bidders and adjusted the methodology for evaluating technical and financial offers.
The package also reduces the minimum investment required, expressed in Unidades de Fomento, for the casinos of Coquimbo, Viña del Mar and Iquique, and changes the calculation of the bid bond, which is set at 5% of the declared investment programme. For the Viña del Mar and Iquique tenders, municipal real estate and associated tourism infrastructure works are excluded from the calculation of the bond.
