Chile’s casino regulator Superintendencia de Casinos de Juego (SCJ) has revealed that casino operator Operaciones el Escorial S.A has withdrawn its application for a casino operating license in the Antofagasta region.

Operaciones el Escorial S.A, which operates under the Enjoy Group, was first established in 2008.

The operator withdrew its application in a letter sent to SCJ. Following this, the regulator issued an exempt resolution on 4 May which officially removed Operaciones el Escorial S.A’s application. Operaciones el Escorial S.A applied for the licence under SCJ’s casino permit renewal process, which opened in September 2021.

After the process opened, SCJ made progress in issuing operating permits to the Enjoy San Antonio and Enjoy Santiago properties in the Valparaíso region.
