(BLOOM) lost 3.8 percent to 8.33 pesos, the lowest close since May 21. Investors are concerned about a bill filed at the Senate that would change the tax regime for casinos and require the collection of a 1,000-peso ($23) entrance fee from local players, said Richard Laneda, analyst at CitisecOnline.com.
“The bill will raise the tax rate for casinos and discourage local players,” Laneda said. Charging locals entrance fees may hurt the grind market, which accounts for a large part of the gaming industry, Deutsche Bank AG said in a June 11 report.
