Colombian regulator, Coljuegos, has seized 96 illegal elements of games of luck and chance from various departments of Quindío and Santander.

This is the latest in a series of regulatory crackdowns in the region.
Coljuegos has seized close to 5,580 illegal gambling items such as slot machines, bingo halls, poker tables and online betting modules during the Government of Change.
Coljuegos President Marco Emilio Hincapié affirmed the regulator’s commitment to combatting illegal activity throughout the country.
He commented, “We are making history in the fight against illegality. Never before has an administration reached so many departments to hit those who take resources from the subsidized health system of the neediest Colombians.”
So far this year, Coljuegos has confiscated 1,242 elements of games of luck and chance in various departments, including Tolima, Cesar, Valle del Cauca, Antioquia, Risaralda and Nariño.
