The Lotteries and Gaming has notified the Casino di Venezia that there is sufficient grounds to cancel its casino licence and granted the casino 21 days to show cause why the licence should not be cancelled.

The reason for the cancellation of the licence is that the casino has fallen short of adequate human resources to run its gaming operations and therefore it has ceased to be a suitable legal person to hold a licence. This resulted after the authority sent a similar cancellation notice to 14 staff members.
