The law of April 6 obliges operators to request a license from the Regulatory Authority online games (Arjel) responsible for verifying compliance activities to legislation. This time, the nine new Arjel authorized operators to conduct their business games and online paris in France.

Among the lucky few, there are five companies offering online poker: Fulltiltpoker.fr, the second largest worldwide after Pokerstars.fr site, Barrierepoker.fr, the site of the French casino operator who form a powerful alliance with the French Games, Pkr.fr, and finally Pokersubito.fr Pokerxtrem.fr.

Dominique Desseigne, group leader Lucien Barrière “Creating Barrierepoker.fr is an essential step for the group’s development. Already France’s leading casinos, we are well on the foot on the market for online gaming with the best possible partner. ”

Group Lucien Barriere and French Games had actually announced the creation of a joint venture and had filed an application for approval for poker with the Arjel May 31 last.

The case began when Patrick Berg, CGT union representative, expressed the wish that “employees are no longer in contact with customers smoking. Do we have the right to smoke near them? .

The Ministry of Labour, through its deputy director, just answer this question: “Since March 2010, the Labour Inspectorate has reminded the management of the institution that prolonged exposure to certain employees to tobacco smoke was exposure to a carcinogen requiring the application of the provisions of the Labour Code relating to the prevention of this risk category. The inspection services had never approved the installation of the terrace. ”

Remarks which, not surprisingly, fill Patrice Berg: “I am satisfied, but I’ll be more fully when no employee will be in contact, not even a second, a carcinogen. ”

What pummel the heavy depreciation of investment. Casino Menton and had wagered € 700 000 on the terrace smoking. And to win the jackpot, the Barrier Group , through its president, said it had made ??every effort to evacuate the smoke extractors, fins, large bay windows.

Moreover, Jean-Luc Zizzo is formal as to the legality of the terrace: “It meets all standards. I ask the inspector to visit. And I remember that it is open for four months! ”

“A desire to harm the company”

Another parameter, but not least, the category of personnel who had direct contact with the smoke was that of dealers.

With the fashion of Poker Texas Hold’em, they are often “parked” alongside the players. But again, Jean-Luc Zizzo immediately replied: “There is more poker table on the terrace! As for slots, there is no problem because employees are not subject to static situations. ”

Finally, the president of the Casino Barrière the blame to be borne by employers in cases of illness due to passive smoking, “Let them come to measure the harm of smoking with existing tools. Is necessarily subjective. The log is heavy. The dealers have been subjected to smoking for thirty years. Then, if the patient lives with someone who smokes for several years, which will be held responsible? Say that the cause would be the terrace, I find it hard! If this is not a desire to harm the company, I do not get it. ”

“I did not stay there! ”

Patrick Berg, meanwhile, after inspection of work, expecting a positive sign of the ministry. And that of Health. “I sent a letter to the firm Roselyne Bachelot. She replied, saying it was following this issue closely. ”

And the CGT representative concluded that the fight is just hired: “If the casino wants to deviate from the law on tobacco, at my union, I do not stay there! ”

Patrice Berg and Jean-Luc Zizzo is not nearly … smoke the peace pipe!

The City Council voted yesterday the delegation of public service for the group Joa. The most strident opposition came … from within the majority.

“When we know the state of municipal finances, we realize how this is a great opportunity! “The Communist deputy Philippe Mignoni has in a long argument, defended tooth and nail yesterday DSP (Delegation of public service) of the casino, at a meeting of the council. For, as announced after the project presentation by the Mayor, the most virulent attack came from his own camp, ie elected Communists and Christian Christine Sampere Barlo.

“The overall project is not visible”

“The financial contribution is totally random,” observed including the Assistant Academic Affairs Christine Sampere, who also denounced a “solution while tourism.” Elected for a casino is “not inconsistent with management left, but on condition that such a project is not the sole center of economic project. Yet for now, the overall project is not visible, it is not legible, “she would throw up.

Marc Vuillemot thus left with the task of defending Philip Mignoni the casino. Visibly recovered, he wrote “on behalf of the Communist and” that “there were casinos in the territory of Seynois 1895 to 1994 without anyone finds nothing to fault.” It referred to the considerable challenges related to the project, “sixty million into the coffers of the town in twenty years, hundreds of jobs, one of the largest casinos in France in the heart of an agglomeration of 500 000 inhabitants, of significant benefits in terms of image, and zero cost to the city. ”

You are against this project but you do not offer an alternative, it’s too easy. On such a project, it is deplorable and irresponsible members of our own team refrain … ”

The support of Arthur Paecht. Before Falco?

Fathi Bousbih his running mate, “not against the casino,” announced his intention to abstain “because I am against its installation, and I still can not stomach abandoning the project’s theatrical division.

At the vote, Marc Arthur Paecht Vuillemot thanked for his support and took the opportunity to extend a pole Hubert Falco: “We will not close the door to no support, and if it comes from a local personality Member government, it will do more weight. Because we are talking about the casino bay casino more than La Seyne! ”

An investment of 15 million euros for a complex dedicated to the game, unique in the hexagon: Lassiaz Lawrence, CEO of Joagroupe wants to make future casino Montrond-les-Bains, “icon” of the group

Interview by Frederick Paillas (leprogres.fr)

You will build a new casino in Montrond-les-Bains, which will open late 2012. It is a challenge for your group?

Joagroupe has twenty one casino and Montrond-les-Bains is in second position behind Antibes La Siesta. It is part of the large French casinos. Yes, it is a challenge for us.

Casinos, as they exist, can they continue to live?

They can continue to live quietly, as they do not compete with newcomers. Casino de Montrond has weathered the crisis better than most other casinos. Montrond and neither exceeded nor at odds with the market.

Before this project was discussed by the City, what were your plans for Montrond-les-Bains?

We would have continued to optimize the surfaces. We thought The Hen redeem the offer to enrich the casino restaurant with upscale hotels.

But the mayor, Claude Giraud, had a different idea …

Mr. Giraud is a visionary who has big ambitions for his town. On the merits, he is right, even if this is complicated for us.

Complicated, why?

Because we need to invest money on land that is not ours and which will become the property of the town in twenty years. It’s an investment of 15 million euros, the equivalent of what you invest each year in our casinos: half in new technologies play in the other renovation programs.

What are your ambitions for the future temple games?

As a standard in France and walked in front of Antibes. This is the first time in the history of the group that we will build a new casino. We will tap the expertise of our shareholders Quebec that operate casinos in American size.

Our vision is to accommodate players and non players, is to offer more attractive for all age groups. What is important is to be innovative in our heart of business, what the game

There is potential for this type of facility?

Sure. Currently, the population Etienne represents only 18% of our turnover. We hope to capture up to 30% of Etienne.

Specifically, what are your targets?

We’ll soon open in November 2012, 190 slot machines, 250. The gross gaming and restoration activities and entertainment is 24.5 M €. We expect 30 million € in 2013 and € 35 million by 2017. It is better to invest on a big casino which has potential as Montrond-les-Bains. The main challenge is to show our view of the casino tomorrow to make Montrond, the icon of group-pe. It will be seen that this project by 1600 employees of the group and I can tell you that this casino is going to move all casinos in France.

Moreover, all major French groups will see, since the weeks following its opening.

It is also the jackpot Montrond-les-Bains?

Yes, because until now, the average levy for the town was 12%, depending on specification. This is a rate that varies for each municipality. Upon opening, it will increase to 15%. Most large casinos have this level of sampling.

What will be the site of the existing casino?

The walls and grounds are for sale. But it will not happen, then anything. We are working on this issue with the municipality.

You may be a blow to your neighbors?

A client is a client player zapper. By definition, it moves. Our goal will be to retain, to keep him. And then, competition prevents sleep …
