The government wants to reform the law in good time before the gambling licenses expire. The "Krone" is aware of the draft from the Ministry of Finance. According to the draft, the minister does not want to shake the lottery monopoly - but there could be some changes for players. 

These days, gambling companies make the really big money online instead of at the roulette table. Many interested parties are therefore always positioning themselves for the award of concessions. Providers are pushing into the market and demanding a liberalization of online gambling and an end to the monopoly. However, the Minister of Finance has other plans, as the "Krone" has learned.
