Casino, Aggravi “is poker-mania back in Saint-Vincent?” – Consiglio Valle

“The Casino de la Vallée has launched a call for proposals for the organization of poker tournaments.


Given past experiences, one might wonder whether poker mania has returned to Saint-Vincent. The timing is peculiar, as it almost seems to say the opposite of what emerged in the last sessions of the Valle Council.


Yes, because to those who asked about the possible organization of poker tournaments at the Casino, the answer seemed anything but positive. Instead, at least so it seems, the will is different”. This is what regional councilor Stefano Aggravi (Rassemblement valdotain) wrote, adding: “Extremely singular is a passage in the notice that ultimately refers ‘to the examination and authorization of the Regional Council’ the definitive green light to the organization of tournaments”.


“It is certainly not my intention – he continues – to criticize the choice to organize poker tournaments in Saint-Vincent, on the contrary. These could certainly also have interesting repercussions on the spa town and neighboring municipalities. I wonder what sense there is today in promoting an initiative of this kind without having decided what future to give to the Casino. In the same way I wonder what has changed from one Valle Council to another and above all what the dialogue between shareholder and subsidiary really is today”.
