A report from the Ministry of Economy indicates that the establishment of a new casino operated by the Montevideo Municipal Administration (IMM) will necessitate the creation of approximately 15 new public sector positions. These positions are required to manage the oversight and operation of the casino. The annual cost associated with these 15 yet-to-be-filled roles is estimated at $29 million. A public call for applications will be launched to fill these vacancies. The report details the financial implications of expanding government personnel to accommodate the new casino venture. This expenditure raises questions about the overall cost-benefit analysis of the casino project for the city of Montevideo. The Ministry of Economy’s assessment provides a clearer picture of the operational expenses beyond initial investment.
