Belgian Council of State suspends Grand Casino Brussels licence

James Harrington Senior Risk Analyst ·1 sources

The Belgian Council of State has suspended the 15-year licence awarded to Napoleon Games to operate the Grand Casino Brussels, acting on a legal challenge brought by the incumbent operator, Viage.

Viage argued the selection process contained procedural errors and lacked adequate justification. The Council accepted that case at sufficient threshold to warrant suspension while the underlying legal question is resolved.

The suspension leaves the Brussels casino licence in an unresolved state. Napoleon Games cannot begin operations under the contested award, and Viage retains its position at the property until the Council issues a final ruling.

No timeline for the full hearing has been published.
