Gov't starts Elliniko casino licensing procedure

Greece has given its gaming committee the green light to launch a tender for a new casino license, removing another obstacle for a major tourism project in Athens, which is a key conditionality of the country's international bailout.

The decision was published in Thursday's Government Gazette, the same day as Greece's top administrative court approved the project's development plan.
